“Aaargh!” Yeva let out a terrified scream as she covered her ears, turned around, and shoved past the others. In fright, she tried to scramble away.

Julian, on the other hand, was still startled, and he stared blankly at Sage before murmuring, “It’s not me, it’s not me who harmed you… leave me alone…”

In his panic, he grabbed a pebble lying nearby him and threw it at Sage. Sage, however, caught the pebble in her hand and aimed it at Julian’s head before launching the pebble at him.

“Aaargh!”
