Bab 107: Seeing the Witch

The trek through the chasm didn't take much time. Hex and Silvera were behind the baron, swiftly scaling over the uneven ground and walls. 

Silvera used her silvery chains to drag the other Knights along. Experienced and strong as they were, they were obviously not used to moving through tears in the ground. 

Within a few minutes, they reached the other side. Hex climbed behind Silvera out of the chasm. The moment he stepped onto even ground, he felt the turbulent air blow in his face.

The rumbling of the clouds thundered in his ears. He looked up. Up close, the sight of the massive clouds coiling with flashes of lightning between them, made him shiver unconsciously. 

When he looked around, he saw the devastation left by the strike. The southern tower was half gone and the main building was scorched black. 

As they hurried toward the southern tower, he saw the servants spread over the castle ground. But they didn't seem burnt or wounded.
