"This is important, Eliza," my grandma said, but I just nodded too distracted with the sun rising into the sky.
It had been a long time since I had seen the sun. Suddenly, a large stinging pain seared through my arm, blurring my vision with tears.
"I said listen!" my nan leaned in close to my face, until I could smell her breath and feel the rain of spit; showering onto me.
She shoved a package into my open fingers and I tried not to flinch at weight of it. I mean it weighed like a tonne! And she didn't even show the strain, but I did. Now my grandma is not someone who just misses things, and I was soon scolded and told to act like a man. Which is absurd; since I am only fourteen and a girl too! But I had been raised tough; like every warrior should be.
There were tears in my nan's eyes,"This package contains VERY powerful magic, its not to be mistreated!"
