The crows shrieked louder, circling tighter above our heads. It felt so ominous, that I felt shivers crawling over my skin.
Theo lifted his head, his voice uneasy. "What the hell is this place?"
Alaric's gaze swept across the dark floor beneath us, his fists clenched. "It doesn't feel like we escaped. It feels like…" He trailed off, shaking his head.
That was when we realized where we were. We were standing in front of a huge gate, and far beyond the gate stood a castle, a creepy one with its roof shaped in spikes, reaching to the sky.
The castle wall was covered in dried vines with thorns. Bats and crows circled it.
The moon hid behind the blanket of clouds, refusing to shine its light.
Everything about the place made me want to run away.
I grabbed Rhydian's hand. "Can you open another portal? This place is ominous."
Rhydian frowned. "I can't open another portal Aeris, the interference here is much stronger. We need to leave now before they find us."
