A gust of wind whipped through the curtains, and the window burst open with a bang.
Leathery wings beat the cold air, and a young girl's body crash-landed clumsily onto the stone ledge.
— "UURGH... Finally." groaned Ginny as she dumped two heavy reinforced crates onto the wooden floor. The boards groaned under the weight.

The second, made of blackened metal, hissed with thick, greenish vapor.
A warning seal was burned into its lid : Poison • HighToxicity.
Ginny, already sprawled on the edge of the bed, kicked her feet idly in the air.
Her wings twitched behind her, still shivering from the flight.

He tossed it onto a chair without so much as a glance at her.
