Can a guy and girl ever be just friends? I used to think so, but now I’m not so sure. Emerson and I met freshman year of high school and we’ve been tight ever since.

Which is no easy feat, because let’s face it, unless we’re related, you’re potential spank bank material.

Sometimes he protects me from the brunt of it…and sometimes I think he wants me dead as much as they do. But I won't give them the satisfaction. Because I didn't come to Hell to die. I came to survive.

Aria is finally feeling like she's figuring things out. At least, she's not fumbling her way through adventure as much anymore. At least there's that. But there is no way to reseal the prison. Too many ur'gel have escaped, making the breach even bigger. And the only thing they can do is to wait for Dag'draath to break out as well. They have no weapons against Dag'draath, though.
