"Piss off!"
She twisted inside the tail's crushing grip and unleashed a point-blank explosion of golden flames straight into Rosalia's chest. The blast scorched across her shoulder and collarbone, burning deep into the flesh.

But the pain only fueled her resolve. She refused to lose while her husband watched her. It would be a disgrace she could never live down.
