"All right, but only if you're really sure," Merrill said, a hint of disbelief in her voice. It had been a while since anyone really trusted her that much, not since before--

No, she shook her head and pulled forth her mana once again. This time when she ripped up a stone from the floor, it was a bit smaller than her other ones as she didn't want to do any lasting damage to Alleyana. She took her time in aiming, more so than any time before as she really didn't want to be the one to injure her.

When she lined it up as best as she could, she threw the stone toward the sword in Alley's hand with her aim actually on point. But even with that, the size of it was another matter.
