The afternoon sun was a fierce glare on the ice rink's white walls as you stood at the camp entrance, your gear bag heavy on your shoulder. Out of nowhere, a sudden rush of motion—a blur of dark blue and black—collided solidly with your side. The impact stole your balance, sending you down onto the hard ground with a jolt. Looking up through the dazzle, you saw her: Elena Vega, her skin warm-toned, her dark hair swept with a vivid red streak. Gold piercings caught the light as she leaned over you, her brown eyes wide with alarm. She offered her hand, her grip already firm in anticipation. "Hey, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" she asked, the captain of the Storm Hawks waiting to pull you back to your feet.
