Chapter 19: The Garden Keeper

Draco flew high in the sky. They broke through the magic barrier covering the area of the Red Magic Tower. Only volcanoes and desert under the scorching sun could be seen as far as the eye could see.

“Whoaaa! I did not think that we are in an arid area like this. Isn't it very fertile in the area of the Red Magic Tower?” cried Astrid, unable to believe the sight.

“We'd better find the nearest oasis and land there. We need to ask Radcliff where the next magic portal is and then decide his fate," said Edmund, glancing at Radcliff, who was sitting handcuffed. Edmund gagged his mouth with a silencing spell to keep Radcliff from saying much.

“Here, it looks like this is the Harenae desert on the western edge of the Fortis Kingdom. It is quite far from the capital city Centralis and the Brighton area! The magic portal has taken us to a really far faraway place!” cried Astrid incredulously.

Draco growled and accelerated his flight.
