Trsyta turned and popped herself up on to a table. Her feet swung under her as she spoke, "You can ask any Saberblade. At one point in each of our lives, Graff reached in to our world and saved us."

Aelyn nodded, "I remember the time he saved me. He had just arrived at the Academy," he said then turned to Trysta, "this was before you and your sister came." He turned back to Jaden and Duncan, "I was running late in returning to the Academy. The sun was setting and I have gotten too involved in shopping at a local farmer's market. I tried to get back, but I got caught by a local street gang." he shook his head, "I was stupid. I should have been watching the time more closely." He pulled his arms around him, "they were going to rob me, if I was lucky, that only would have been it. These gangs had been known for killing cadets."

Aelyn drew in a deep breath, "I didn't even know him at the time. I tried to escape, I tried to run, but they caught me. I tried to run again and they caught me. It was then I realized that they were toying with me. I dropped to my knees and offered them all I had. The leader took a metal bar and was going to beat me with it. That was when he intervened. He saved me from what could have been my death. And for that, I will always be grateful for him."
