Chapter 128 Journey To Mount Teranoid

• As we reached the border, the rain began to fall, first in gentle drops and then in a torrential downpour. The sky became pitch black, and the cold seeped into my bones. Gabby grabbed me tightly, pulling me close to him. “Don’t panic,” he whispered, his breath warm in opposition to my ear.
• I clung to him, feeling his regular heartbeat via his chest. “I’m trying,” I stated, my voice trembling. He kissed my brow, and for a moment, the arena appeared much less frightening.
• We climbed into the carriage, the guards taking their positions around us. The journey to Mount Teranoid became lengthy and treacherous, but with Gabby beside me, I felt a flicker of hope. The wheels creaked as we moved forward, the sound mingling with the patter of rain on the roof.
