I sat at the table, examining some of the work that Cassie's Circle has done so far, which was actually quite outstanding. They work faster than, Amelia's Circle, I thought, picking a dark red ruby from the bowl in front of me. It must be Faye's family crystal, I thought, throwing it back in the bowl. I have been worrying everyday on how I'm going to get my power back to save Cassie. I looked at the scar on my hand. It was the same as the medallion, but less power. I am like a lion, but with no fangs and claws. Most of my power is gone, along with the medallion. The only thing this lion has is his pride, I thought.
