Chapter 232 - Storming the Walls (Stealthily)

"The gateway to Imeria? We don't even know if they have the portal crystals," Kai said, his voice low, almost drowned by the moan of the wind coming off the cliffside.

"I just wanted to say something cool," Seyren admitted, glancing sheepishly at Kai.

"Try that again if we get the crystals and make it back to the gates alive," Kai replied.

"Okay!"

"Oh. Right."
