Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Just then, Sophie felt a sudden, unbearable heat emanating from her pocket. With a sharp intake of breath, she quickly pulled out the three gems nestled inside.

James lunged forward to disarm him, but the gunshot that followed was earsplitting in the cavernous space. The sound quickly reached those above.
