The part of Arathiel Nora saw at Eldon was different from the one she saw when she funnelled out of the Nethergate. Compared to the flourished vegetation at Eldon, the grass here was dead or withered. They stood in front of a cemetery with rickety gate. Dry vines wrapped around the open gate. The ice-cold air stank of dead animals which made Nora’s tummy somersault as she shuddered. Every step she took towards the gate gave her an ominous feeling that the dead were watching her.
“Where is this place?” Nora asked no one in particular.
“You have to come up with a better line for every time you step out of the Nethergate.” It was Keelan that answered her.
Nora forgot about the cold and her twisting tummy immediately. “I am sorry my curiosity is bothering you,” she rolled her eyes.
“Somebody please tell her where we are,” Keelan said to the other Seraphs as they marched into the cemetery.
“The Witch Kingdom in Arathiel.” Asher was kind enough to answer Nora.
