Chapter 21: Mr Witch-Hunter, What If They Are Lying…

I don't really know who this Evelyn lady is… or why she is willing to help us, but her talent in magic manipulation despite not being a full witch is something of a marvel.

The hidden passage twists like a living thing, branches and roots shifting aside as we run.

'She must have found a way to kind-of program the trees itself to move that way.'

Behind us, the sounds of fighting echo strangely, distorted by the sanctuary's magic. I can feel Evelyn's power pulsing through the walls… flowing from magic to magic which he had pre-installed over time. That's all she can do but her offenses weaken since she is starting to run out of magic structures.

"We can't just leave her," I pant, even as Jay pulls me forward.
