CHAPTER 164

  As we leave Moon Crest Castle, I see the Covenstead in the distance.

  ‘Alec, I want to go to Yiselda’s place before we leave,’ I say.

  ‘But we need to get to Oakpaw mountain,’ he says.

  ‘I know, but this is important. I need to go there.’

  He stares at me for a moment before nodding.

  ‘If it’s that important, then let’s go,’ he replies.

  Reaper flies ahead of us to meet us there.

  I use my Skedaddle Dash spell until we arrive at the Covenstead. I push the door open to be greeted by the magic broom sweeping the floors. Rabbits, squirrels and the odd cat sit, sleep or run around. I enter the kitchen on the right. It’s strange to see the kitchen quiet with no potion brewing in the cauldron. I begin to look through the shelves and in the cupboards.

  ‘What are you looking for?’ Alec asks.

  I pull my head out of the cupboard I am currently rummaging through and turn to face him, ‘I thought there might be something here I can use to seal Thypon in,’ I explain.
