After three days of walking through the new path, Azel finally saw land up ahead.
It was like the gates of a town except that these gates were made with skulls… actual skulls stacked and mortared together to form an archway that rose at least twenty feet high.
'Those Reapers could fly but we can't…' He thought, staring at the distant gate.
If he knew how to fly then he would have just flown all of them over where that damn skeleton reaper had blasted and they would be much closer to the Castle by now.
Instead they'd spent three days walking through barren wasteland.
"Master…" Irielle whispered as she looked at the two guards up ahead standing at attention. They were positioned on either side of the skull gate.
Azel used his enhanced eyesight to sight their badges. After all, Reapers had their ranks engraved on their badges in clear numbering.
He could see the number five etched into the metal.
