Chapter 87 87

• Ella's POV
• I breathed with relief as we walked into a clearing, glad that we were done with fighting our way through. It had been so dense I could barely feel my feet. I couldn't even feel the others near me and was only conscious of myself and breaking through.
• I was only worried about myself and feeling nothing about the others and it was then that I knew. This place was spiced with magic. It wasn't much but was thrumming beneath the surface. I was becoming selfish and concerned only about myself within five minutes of being here and wondered how the creatures living here would be, having been here for long.
