Chapter 10: Surprise

“Oh my God, what is this place?” I ask, staring up at the structure before me.

“It’s the Hall of Grace,” Alec answers, following my awed gaze.

“It looks like The Wizard of Oz, only gold instead of emerald,” I say, squinting. It’s so bright and sparkly that I might be mistaking it for an illusion. The building is beautiful, and reminds me of a gothic cathedral similar to the one I saw in Barcelona, only instead of gray, it shimmers gold and glassy. I reach out and touch the wall next to the twelve-foot-high double doors of the entrance, thinking my hand might slip through like a mirage, but it’s as solid as a rock. It was hidden in a mass of forest, cloaked like a secret gem that I hadn’t been able to spot from the lighthouse’s view.

“Is it like a church?” I ask, slapping my hand on different parts of the wall to confirm I’m not imagining the building. It really looks like something you’d only see in a dream.

“Mmmm, not really. I mean, it is sacred and very special to our people, but we don’t hold mass here or anything. Nephil think a little differently than the traditional human religions you grew up with. Probably because of our direct connection to the Light realm,” Alec explains, opening the heavy gold door, but I hesitate to go in.

“Then what are we doing here?” I ask, not feeling pure enough to enter this sacred space. I can sense how special it is even from peering through the entryway.

“I’ll show you,” Alec says, stepping through and holding the door for me to follow. I bow my head slightly and step through, instantly feeling lighter, like I do when I Cloud Crash. I’m overwhelmed by the beauty and the power of this place bouncing off the walls like its acoustics turn the energy into a sweet melody you can almost hear.

“Wow…” I mutter, taking in the energy, letting it fill me, feeling more Nephil in this moment than I ever have before. I haven’t turned to vamp by accident in almost a week since I first got here. I think the power here helps me control it. I sigh, looking around at the ornate carvings and pillars laced with marble and gold. If I ever feel I’m turning again, I should run straight here; I can actually sense the light realm in here, like it’s a portal to another plane of existence.

“Christoph built this, didn’t he?” I ask, trying to understand this place. It looks like it could only have been made by an Angel.

“No, but this is where he entered Caliontre from the light realm and he brought some of their power with him. I guess it didn’t always use to sparkle gold like this. It was a gift from the light realm once Stella started the war. But only Christoph and my dad are old enough to have seen it,” Alec says, taking my hand to lead me
