As Maleficent watched Kili throw the stone in the air for the umpteenth time now, she heard him deny at the question she gave him. She was just about to chuckle, but couldn't as the stone was loosened from his grip. Just before it fell to the floor, the fairy raised her hand to freeze its fall. It was surrounded by her golden aura as it levitated from the ground. Her own raised hand had the swirls of her golden aura surrounding it. Letting the stone fall into her hand, she picked it up to eye level in the moonlight so she could see it clearer.
