CHAPTER NINETEEN

Keelan was the last person to funnel out of the Nethergate at the Witch Mountain, along with Nora, Roman and Max.

“I can’t believe we are doing this,” Roman said as they hiked up the hill to Lorena’s.

“It is a good plan,” Max said.

“That is the dumbest thing you’ve ever said and you, my sister, have said some pretty dumb things.”

“Oh, I’m dumb? You might want to look at yourself before making such a comment,” Max retorted.

Roman sniggered. “Very funny Max, very funny.”

“I didn’t say it to be funny. The fact that you don’t know that, further proves my point.”

“At least, I’m not the one who thinks summoning Asmodeus is a good idea.”

Max wheeled back to Roman, “You didn’t have to come, Roman. Quit whining.”

“I know you didn’t want me here.”

“You are wrong. I still don’t want you here. Feel free to turn around anytime,” Max said, gesturing to the path behind them.

“I know you don’t want me here, that is why I am going to stay, to annoy you,” Roman curled his lips.
