Chapter 24: Chapter 22

Layla

We finally manage to climb out of the hole that had so suddenly swallowed us up, I wish I could say that both Alex and I were unharmed but unfortunately, we were not. Alex had sustained a very bad cut and had bled quite a lot. I did use a healing spell but as I had to heal myself as well my spell was not quite strong enough to heal him completely, he was still weak from blood loss. We found Tempest and Eric sitting around a fire and by the smell in the air they have made food.

“Layla, Alex, thank goodness you are okay. I was so worried about you both.”

Tempest came running towards us and flung her arms around both of us.

“Easy Tempie, we are very happy to see you too but unfortunately Alex is not so steady on his feet at the moment.”

She really looked at Alex and saw that he was quite pale. Without asking questions she helped me walk him over to the fire. Eric meanwhile had placed a sleeping bag on the ground which we laid Alex on.
