QUOTE : His punch knocked her back a meter into the wall. His fist had moved of his own volition, carrying a rage and frustration all its own. <br /><br />To his dismay, she didn’t fall. People so small as her always fell.<br /><br />No tears pooled in her eyes; instead they flared golden amber as she rubbed her jaw and pushed off the wall to stand rigid straight. A peculiar smile danced across her lips as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth and down her chin.
