226 Disguise

As the dragon slowly descended, they saw the ruins of the once beautiful and snow-white place. Evie's heart clenched in agony at the sight that welcomed her. Dacria was unrecognizable – a far cry from the once stunning view she remembered it once to be in her mind. It was all but ruins now. She fought for calm and held back her tears as the dragon slowly circled and finally landed at where the castle was once standing magnificently.

The moment they landed; Evie realized that it was the very place where she last saw Gavriel. The memories came flooding back into her mind at that moment when Gavriel had hugged and kissed her before pushing her away into the dungeon.

Evie bit her lower lips so hard right then that she had to force herself to swallow the tears that were threatening to spill over at any moment. This was not the time for her to cry.
