I look over my shoulder to see a split in the void opening up behind him and a large bull like head, four times the size of a normal bull, with at least six huge horns protruding from its giant head and disappearing down its back. Covered in oozing sores and patchy fur.
It looks like its half dead.
“What the hell!” Theo exclaims catching sight and stumbling backwards away from it.
The bull thing paws at the ground its red eyes flashing with its vicious intent.
“Hurry go through now!” Nicole shouts.
“What about you?” Kai asks.
“We will be fine child we are far from defenceless.” Nicole grins and my opinion of her once again rises.
Levi’s horse takes off in the direction of the spiral the rest of us quickly following just before Levi gets there the magic in the spiral reverses andchanges colour.
“Don’t go through!” Nicole yells, “Its changed the destination!”
It’s too late for Levi to stop though and with the bull charging after us and snorting something akin to acid. We all follow after him, Knot and Ghost flying ahead of me and following Levi and his horse through the glowing portal. We will not abandon one of our own to whatever fate awaits the other side of that damn portal.
Magic bursts across my skin as I hit it and my vision spins and darkens as I feel like I’m being torn in several different directions at once. Finally through the darkness I see a light. I sure as hell hope we aren’t being dropped into a war zone.
“What the hell!?” I hear Kai exclaim as I finally exit the portal on the other side, my vision not adjusting as quickly as it should.
“Hold on daughter, this will not be easy.”
THE END
