Chapter: 72
*******
Zeke's POV
It was late in the evening when we reached the Bloodbind Circle realm. As we moved through the city, a strange calm hung over it, like a curfew had emptied the streets. I gripped the wheel, guiding us through the silence.
"Is there some sort of curfew?" Vaelith's voice cut in, echoing the question that'd been gnawing at me since we arrived. I hummed in response, my focus locked on the deserted road ahead.
I could count the times I'd been here on one hand, never more than ten. The Bloodbind Circle wasn't the kind of place you wandered into lightly.
Soon, the familiar castle loomed into view, the same one I'd visited every time I came to this city.
As soon as we reached that old checkpoint, I spotted a short man staring hard at our car, signaling us to roll down the window.
"Yes, what are you doing?" His harsh tone resounded.
"We're here to see the queen witch, Seraphina," Vaelith said.
