Chapter 10: Chapter 10

“This is still so lame,” Nathan huffed, pulling his hand out of his brother’s grip after they had passed from Wade’s doorway into the Veil Slip. Skin contact was the only way Nathan could follow Jim inside.

“How was traveling through the Veil without me again?” Jim teased.

“Shut up.”

Nathan could admit that at least he didn’t feel like he had been hit by a semi-truck like he had when passing from Illinois to Porthclais alone, but entering the Veil Slip was always a little different than simply using doorways. They were withinthe Veil. Nathan felt constricted, as if the magic of the place was trying to choke him.

The Veil Slip looked like a simple square room no bigger than a storage locker. Nathan had heard that they could look however the creator wanted, but Jim hadn’t been too inventive when he first made it. It was just a room filled with boxes. The only unique part was that it didn’t require electricity. The walls glowed with their own natural light.
