Chapter 55

Almost as soon as he finished talking a strong wind swept through the range of the house, shaking windows and the very foundation of the stone house, howling so deeply it sounded like the battle cry of an undead army. The trembling of the foundation caused Maggie’s chains to rattle strongly and the cuffs pulled on her skin painfully. But just as soon as it started the wind stopped and the howling ceased.

“Let’s go.”

She hadn’t realized she has her eyes closed but soon Maggie opened her eyes to see all four of them moving toward a door that had suddenly appeared in the stone wall.

“Come with us.”

As soon as Percy spoke she rose to her feet and was moving toward them completely forgetting about the chains. Eldan put his hand on the door and pushed it open. It swung open with a loud groan. When Maggie stepped over the threshold after them she was surprised to find out that instead of going into another room in the stone castle they had been transported to a different place, another time.
