Chapter 25

Tempest

We planned on not putting all our eggs into one basket and decided to split up Eric and Leah would hang a bit back just in case and Alex, Layla, and I will go in and see if we could rescue Dominic without anything unexpected happening. We started by climbing the mountain up towards the cave. Layla and I used our nature magic to grow vigorous thick vines alongside the mountain to help us climb up a lot faster and a lot easier than we would have.

We made good time considering the eerie darkness was still hanging around us as we reached the ledge in front of the cave, we stood still for a bit to listen to any sounds that might be coming from inside we didn’t hear anything but still proceeded into the cave very cautiously. Eric and Leah hung back in the shadow making sure they will not be seen with a little magic help from Eric.
