You may have been gifted by the Gernumblies!”Ron, passing them in the opposite direction, let out a loud snort.”

“How desperate she had been for a storybook ending, and a life to which Gaia would always want to return; because her daughter's departure was hurtling towards Kay like a meteorite, and she foresaw the loss of Gaia as a calamity that would shatter her world.”
