"You don't have to worry about that. There will be many unpredictable things happen the moment we enter the realm, " Lana was standing in front of the high wall, where fungus and moss vined on its surface.
However, they couldn't see the door from there.
"How do we go inside?" Kace scoured the entire high wall."Jump over it?" On that moment, it was the only way since it was impossible to smash the wall open.
"No, " Lana ran her fingers on the surface of the sleek moss, contemplating."Take my hand!" she stretched out her hand for Kace to take.
The lycan didn't welcome the invitation immediately."What is it?" he stared at Lana's opened palm with a frown between his brows.
"I am not seducing you, but if you want to go through into the other realm, you have to take my hand." Lana said impatiently while Kace rolled his eyes.
"I didn't say you would seduce me. I mean, what would happen if I take your hand? The high wall will collapse?" Kace grabbed Lana's hand.
This casual action made the girl slightly lowered her head and turned around, so Kace wouldn't be able to see her expression now.
"We're going through this wall now, " Lana mumbled to him. She raised her other hand and made a caress-like motion to the moss-covered wall.
In the next second, the moss and fungus melted away, just like an ice cube under the bright sunlight. Not only that, the wall also disappeared along with the melting moss.
"How did you do that?" Kace asked in awe. He knew that Lana can do one or two magic tricks, but what she was doing now was like a full blood witch.
"Fae's blood, " Lana answered curtly, her brows twisted in concentration."It helps."
While waiting for the high wall to melt and create a passageway for them, Kace engaged in a casual talk with her."How's the progress of your mother search going?"
"Not really good." Lana shrugged her shoulder and pulled Kace's hand with hers when she stepped across the other realm.
The lack of light at the other side of the world made Kace squinted his eyes and wondered, what kind of world they'd about to enter?
Despite the border between two worlds had bright sun over their head, which seemed could burn everything under its scorching light, gravels and rocks beneath their feet, there was nothing but the vast desert as far as their eyes could see. Despite all that, this side was completely dark.
Kace and Lana were standing in an evergreen forest, like the pine forest near the Mystic River village, only the vegetation here was slightly different. Above their head, there was no moon which light could guide them.
The only source of light was the flickering fireflies that surrounded them. Their glimmering faint lightsradiated from their body.
"What is this place?" Kace raised his hand to nudge the firefly with his finger.
"The land of the dead, " Lana answered. It was fortunate for them, as shape shifters they had a great vision. Despite this place lacked of light, they could see their way just find.
"The land of the dead?" Kace let go of Lana's hand and didn't notice a small frown between the girl's brows."What a name for this nice place." He was still immersed with the faint glow from the fireflies.
"That's what I thought when I came here." Lana agreed with Kace's opinion.
"How could you be here?"
"Serefina told me, taught me and misled me to go into this place, " Lana grunted as she led the way.
"That sounds like Serefina, " Kace chuckled lightly.
They were having this light conversation while they were walking inside the forest, accompanied by the fireflies. The sight was breathtakingly beautiful.
Two people, walking inside the deep forest, challenging their fate in this foreign realm, talking lightly and exchanging smile every now and then, it would be more fascinating if they were a lover.
However, unfortunately, the reality was different, as they were not destined for each other.
Kace and Lana walked for almost an hour or so, nobody knew the exact time then.
When the dense of the forest unraveled and the fireflies that was left accompanying them was less than a couple, Kace started to see a brighter light from afar, coming from a small town.
Lamp streets and building illuminated the night.
"A town?" Kace raised his brows."So, northern coven is a town?" he had never been in this place, thus it slightly confused him to see this.
Kace thought Northern Coven would as gloomy as the creatures which lived there, but apparently this place was quite similar tothe Mystic River village.
"It's only one place, and there are many places in this Northern Coven realm, which either the witches or vampires had not yet set their feet on its land, " Lana explained as they walked toward the small town.
"How do we find the person who can cure my wounds?" Kace wanted to ask this since the very beginning, but Lana refused to answer him before they trespass the border of this realm.
"Here." Lana grabbed something from her pocket and gave it to Kace to see."Serefina gave me this to find that person."
Kace took that thing from Lana's hand and examined it."A candle?" between his callous fingers were a small white candle.
There was nothing peculiar about this candle, it was just like any ordinary candle that Kace had seen a thousand times.
"What are we going to do with this candle?" He played with that small thing, weighing it on his palm before Lana took it away from him.
"This is our clue to find that person, " Lana said.
"Who is exactly this person?" Kace grew impatient when Lana didn't explain about the person who was going to treat his wound and heal him.
Now, they had entered the town with buildings surrounded them.
"A priestess, " she replied.
