Chapter 14: Elaine
The four clones fell like marionettes with their strings cut, awkwardly hitting the floor.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP
If these were normal people, they might have ended up with some nasty bruises, but their bodies were at Yellow. Plus, healing them wasn’t that hard.

Turning to Percy, she dragged him out of the hall as he looked at her in amusement. He wasn’t as defenceless as he used to be. She knew that. Still, seeing those morons treating him as their lesser irked her to no end.
‘He deserved to be born at a higher grade than them. No. He deserved to be born at a higher grade than me.’
So absorbed was she in her thoughts that she was taken by surprise when Percy stopped abruptly.
“Where have you been over the last month?” he asked, scanning her.
