Battle For Our City Part 102/135

Penny kneeled on the ground looking up with defiance at this arrogant old wizard.

She felt cold and numb, her heart was slowing to a crawl... her body was barely holding together. It was slowly mending, but her muscles felt weak, the life within her drained. The Lady's boon had carried her this far, but she was quickly reaching the limits of its power.

This man was just too powerful for her to fight the way she'd been fighting...

In that brief moment, her eyes glanced to the side as a faint bit of pressure was felt on her shoulder. The unseen but comforting presence of her little friend just beyond the veil...

The veil.

Memories of the desecrated temple with Callia and her uncle flashed through her mind.

Did she still have enough power left?

Would she even survive the attempt?

The glow of lightning about to be unleashed from above made the decision for her.
