CHAPTER 19

Realm of Scamall

Evalle had lost count of days.

Germanus explained that days ran at a different pace in his realm. If she wanted to entertain herself by keeping track, she could figure approximately five days in here for every one in the human world.

Had she been here five or maybe six realm days?

Her gryphon had suffered wounds on top of wounds the entire time. The best healing she could manage was to merely stop the bleeding, which left thick scars.

Germanus had to be behind that. He held all the power in this realm ... other than the god who created this, whom he had yet to name.

She would not have voluntarily fought any of the beasts in his little kingdom, but he continued to throw her into a pit with ferocious adversaries who looked at her like dinner.

In fact, she’d bet Germanus kept them starving.

He fed her only once a day and even at that it was some disgusting gruel. She ate it and fought every threat for one reason—to remain alive long enough for Storm to find her. Her mother’s voice pushed her to show her inner strength.

Evalle sucked it up time and again to do her best, but she rarely slept for fear of watching Storm die in multiple ways. Surviving became more difficult with every new realm day.

Shift after shift, her human body still reflected the damage inflicted on it from battling a wyvern. She’d been sure she was battling a dragon at first until she took in the wyvern’s reptilian body with an arrow-shaped tip on its tail. Fortunately for her, it had no fire-breathing capability like a dragon. Then she’d fought a bird the size of a house known as a roc. That one had ripped one of her wings loose, which took everything she could call up to heal.

Germanus would announce each new creature with fanfare. The last one had been a cockatrice, which also resembled a two-legged dragon but with the head of a rooster. After killing that one, she’d limped away with her hind legs chewed up.

She was past the point of caring about how the scars looked or the damage to her body. She could only put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward.

Darkness crept into her mind, constantly telling her if Storm could have found her, he’d be here by now.

When her mother’s voice argued to stay in the moment, Evalle pushed harder, determined to survive and find a way out of this realm. But if she couldn’t get out, she believed Storm, Daegan, Adrianna, Tzader and Quinn would find her.

She blinked her eyes and realized once again she was in the fighting pit in her gryphon form. The single benefit she’d found was that the realm sunlight did not affect her. She hadn’t had her glasses since waking up in this hellhole, but neither was she blind outside the castle.

“Ready to face the kwane, Evalle?” Germanus called from his throne high above a round amphitheater much like the Colosseum.
