Chapter 25: Entering the Under Realm

• NOELLE'S POV,
• When the vortex spits me out, I land on the ground with a hard thud. My body hurts everywhere from the impact of the fall. I cough and slowly sit up to look around me. The Under Realm is everything I expected it to be. As far as the eye can see there is a black and red wasteland of rocks and what seems to be lava. There are volcanoes, big steep black mountains, and strange rock formations. In the rocks, there are faces sculpted with terrified expressions. But what creeps me out the most are the bones laying everywhere.
• The first thing I think is that there is no place to hide. They are going to see me coming from miles away.
