So we are in the zombie escape section of the storyline. This is going to be about a lot of self realization and loss moving forward. I just don’t know how it ends…
Chapter 20
Ikrivain is learning how to control his energy and suddenly there is a huge uptick in the magic. A major spell is being cast. He channels that energy and focuses it into one strength strike towards the gate lock. It gives and he and Marek are free. They move to the door to open that as well when Marek and Thea start to feel ill. Esme does not feel it at all. They get out and see the guard outside looks bewildered. They incapacitate him quickly and get the key and weapons. They return to the cell and free the others. Then they start to try and escape but Ikrivain still won’t go. He wants to try for the brother one last time. He’s grown though. He tells Marek and the others to go. They have seemingly grown too. They race off to get horses.
Throughout the castle people are falling ill and acting very strange. He is navigating towards where he remembers the spell room to be and he runs into a pair of guards who seem different. They turn and are raged like the girl and all of the other evil he’s seen on this journey and he realizes then that whatever is the problem originates from here.
He squares up against the guards and uses his power to defeat them. He starts towards the spell room again but with a new intention in mind. He must stop this ritual.
