'well now someone or something struck a nerve." Stripetail replied. He had felt the surge of power as Higia had repowered the spheres, and he now had a general idea of Higia's whereabouts. In addition, with the spheres being down, his staff had transformed back, and he could use his magic. " ' The spheres will take a while to fully recover, and my powers aren't as dampened. But I will merely build up my strength rather than take the offensive. Higia may have been foiled,but he will be on guard against another attack' He thought. He pulled out his staff. It had recovered its normal color and powers. He struck the ground with it, feeling the energy flowing through the planet. " I will just absorb a little." He Closed his eyes and began taking in the power through the ground. For a good ten minutes he absorbed the power, and then he put his staff away. " Higia will probably notice soon enough that I helped myself to some magic." He Thought, as he turned towards the Sharptooth. " While don't you bring out the other Sharptooth you have in store for us Higia? He Mocked.
