Chapter 158

• Gabe’s POV
• The moment we stepped through the portal, Amaya and Elena disappeared. We knew they would. They had to pass the trials first. The only reason Evelina could open up a portal was because we had passed the trials of Avalon.
• My heart thudded in my chest as I watched them vanish, knowing they were about to be facing their worst fears and deepest insecurities. We stepped onto Avalon and the pungent scent of burning flesh, singed hair, and sulfur hit me immediately. I raised my sword, cutting into a flying horned demon that would have bitten off our heads if I hadn’t been vigilant.
