[color=f26522]“We’re not related by blood,”[/color] Solanne finally got out. [color=f26522]“I’m more of the spell spitter’s guardian, ya know? Kinda like a big sister, but not by parents. It’s a long story Champion, and I’ll explain the details after we’re through kicking ass here. Sound like a plan?”[/color]
