Chapter 70

  Nina and May break the circle by releasing everyone's hands. Nina is the first to make her way to the gateway. Smiling, she takes a deep breath and vanishes into Shadowfay Forest, the land of familiars. May is so excited that she doesn't hesitate and rushes in after Nina.

  I'm standing in the most enchanting gorgeous woodland I've ever seen. The trees are not just various colours of green but also pinks, purples, and blues. They generate a glow that gives the trees the appearance of being composed of diamonds. A silver mist floats in the air, glistening in the breeze.

  May slams into the back of me out of nowhere.

  'Sorry,' she chuckles as I stare her down. ‘Wow! This place is beautiful.' She says.

  We begin exploring and come across a variety of animals. A sloth climbs a tree slowly as a bat hangs upside down on a branch. A possum pokes its head out of a tree hollow.
