It had been years since he'd seen her. After the two Stetrin siblings had had their quarrel, they'd gone their separate ways, vowing never to meet again. But now Adam was ready to find his sister.

Kallie had been furious, and had vanished into thin air. Adam knew this was not going to be easy, her magic had always been stronger than his. If she didn't want him to find her, it was going to be near impossible to find her. But he was determined.

A laugh from the person inside caused him to lift his head. "Well look what the storm dragged in."

"Kallie?"

A pair of arms wrapped around him, pulling him inside. "My brother," She said with tears in her eyes. "Welcome home.
