Chapter 504

• I started walking through the streets, head down, completely lost. I didn’t dare to approach anyone to ask for directions, so I just kept going until I found a busier road that led me to the teleportation stone. I spent some time watching everyone who approached the stone to understand how it worked.
• I always wondered what it was like to move through them. My parents never used them because you couldn’t carry large loads or animals through them. The memory of a happy past only fueled the pain inside me. I was completely broken and no longer wanted to live.
• “I have nothing left to lose,” I thought as I placed my hand on the stone.
