Chapter 71: The Challenge of Forgiveness

Hailey's POV 

Now what was I to do? I was far away from home, miles and stretches away from my abode and the people who meant the world to me. The crystal cave continued to Grace and, oblivious to what was going on around it, to the pain in our chest and the strive in our minds.

 I looked around me, but there was no one to run to and no one to defend me. It's either I accept The gatekeeper's challenge or everything remains stuck. By being stuck, I wasn't in any way referring to my memories, there would be no way for us to go home. And the evil beings released by Marcus would penetrate deeper into our world and tear it apart.
