One by one, the rest of our group tumbled through the portal and fell into the sand.

Jessica came through after Jacen, followed by Bella, the twins, and Harry. Thomas was last, which was a good call. Because the humans were anxious and jittery. Hopefully knowing that a supernatural had their back had helped take some of the edge off on the other side.

In moments like these, I felt like I had more in common with the supernaturals in our group than the humans.

Kara, Keith, and Harry were so unused to the supernatural world. It showed with every anxious, startled look on their faces, and with how they couldn’t stop fidgeting.

I, on the other hand, was starting to feel like this was my world.

“Welcome to Sir Gawain’s Cove.” Jacen gestured around as if we could actually see the cove through the thick fog. “Sir Gawain was one of the legendary Knights of the Round Table. He was known for his chivalry, his bravery, his compassion, and most importantly, his wisdom. These are all characteristics that citizens of Avalon are expected to have. Once you leave here and head toward Avalon, the island will decide whether it wants to welcome you or send you back to Earth.”

“Back up.” I held up a hand and looked around in newfound amazement. “You mean we’re not on Earth anymore?”

“Correct,” Jacen said. “This cove is an anchor island around Avalon. It’s only accessible by portal, and it’s a required stop for every newcomer. To reach Avalon from here, you must prove your worthiness.”

“How do we do that?” Noah’s eyes narrowed, like he wasn’t sure whether or not to believe Jacen.

I couldn’t blame him. The Earth Angel had already sent Noah on a quest to prove his worthiness. He’d completed it by gathering those ten demon teeth. Of course he was skeptical about having to prove himself again.

“Guess.” Jacen clasped his hands behind his back, looking at us like he knew we wouldn’t guess correctly.

Bella gazed out at the dark, gently lapping waves. “Do we swim?” she asked.

“Or climb?” Thomas glanced up at the cliff. His eyes went wide like a child’s, like he was excited by the prospect of scaling it.

I hoped his guess was wrong. Noah and Sage’s minimal training definitely hadn’t prepared me to scale a cliff. I’d fare better swimming through the ocean.

But still, neither option sounded appealing.

“Wrong,” Jacen said. “Both of you.”

I let out a breath, glad we wouldn’t have to do either of those things.

“I can’t believe it’s not swimming,” Bella said. “Demons hate the water.”

Jacen ignored her and focused on the rest of us. “What are your guesses?” he asked.

I didn’t have one. I could feel through the imprint bond that Noah didn’t, either. And Jessica and the three humans were new to the supernatural world. They were more out of their element and clueless than the rest of us.

I crossed my arms and tapped a foot impatiently. “Obviously none of us know.” I was annoyed, and I didn’t bother hiding it.
