'This banished woman is distracting us! Our original position must have been correct. She must have led us farther from her daughter!' Petra concluded.
She felt angry at herself for letting herself be fooled. Though she had indeed considered this possibility, she believed that Sierra would opt to stay by her daughter's side, doing her best to protect her. But her choice was wrong.
'Who gave her courage to leave her daughter? Who is protecting her daughter then? Evanthe? No, she alone cannot suppress those two powers. A mere witch, even if she is the most powerful one, cannot deal with a low-ranking angel, much less the divinity of two deities.'
"Can't find her still?" Sierra asked in a mocking voice.
While Evanthe, Seren and Drayce stayed in the underground ice cave, waiting for the moment of Seren's birthday to arrive, Sierra was outside to divert the attention of those angels coming after her daughter.
