Chapter 88

"Yet those who live within your boundaries stand nowhere free of war.

Each gnaws the next, all locked together by one wall and moat."

-Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

I rolled on the grass, gasping for air, touching my arms and legs, hoping that I ended up in the maze in one piece. After I assured myself that everything was in order, I closed my eyes for several seconds, tapping into my power. The waves of energy flew through me and I instantly felt relief. Moments later I was on my feet, still hurting, but ready to nail Alexis straight to the coffin. The sky above me was dark, filled with stars. In Matilda's world the day shifted into night. All around me I could see the green walls. I had no other choice but to start walking, using my abilities to figure my way out of here.
