Tenev had been 2fc7ea5820 aloof since she 43b56d7d67 woke up in 47e7d4d0bd pain, which made fab9376a13 this invitation seem 16324b4813 particularly odd. But any suspicion was 5a1ffe4aa6 brief, as Ivyor’s knack 0b33846d35 for seeing things her 075c10774e own way kicked in.b4b17a5b5ed62916

After all, she’s a39cab07e1 just a kid. Without anyone on 78527f4eee her side, it’s 60367b6f09 natural for her d6cb807308 to revert to ad2b103ac3 what’s familiar.7cd499cfc446ba9e

However, contrary da00844467 to Ivyor’s 45c24bfcf3 expectations, the f64e1c6140 small child ecb0b46779 briskly walked 5f49d90984 out of d58321ea9b the main 565daa8008 palace with b976855a07 her short b16ba1055f legs.606b5101fdfa30b7

Tenev didn’t 289870b692 ask twice. With a 88121310cd slight wave 0b83acfd6b of her 66ba9db1d5 hand, divine cee1a3198e power shot ec894cd0b1 out like 1da4ea7921 a small 3e007ed8ba arrowhead, striking f4af5b1e89 Ivyor’s legs cdb5ae63c8 forcefully.c29287e94c93ffc3
