Chapter 187 PIPER Warricks voice hung in the air , filled with emotion I never knew he possessed … redemption .

I looked up at him , the darkness casting his face into shadow , but his voice was absolutely sincere .

For a moment , the calculated man I knew seemed to melt away into something , someone completely … different .

But there was no time for reflection .

Alright , I said finally in that low , even tone , lets see if youre a man of your word .

The slightest smirk teased at the edge of his lips , but he had said absolutely nothing .

We were deep in the forest now , trees wrapping us round like we were in some sort of living cage .

The air chilled , and a heavy atmosphere wrapped its noose around my chest .

Every step felt heavier ; each shadow was alive , pulsing , watching , and waiting .

I could feel the realm of the Nameless pulling us in , testing our resolve as we were entering his territory .

Warrick continued on his path , sure of his destination .

He said nothing , and I did not press him .

really didnt like taking orders from him but I didnt argue either .

Warrick might have been a slimy opportunist , but one thing hed heard right I had no idea what I was dealing with .

We walked scared , slipping between twisted trees , avoiding open paths .

Even the forest seemed to pulse with some weird energy , darker with every step taken .

Do you at all know where were headed ? I said in a low tone of voice .

Warrick half turned back to me , like it was nothing .

Ive been here before , he said .

There is a way into the Namelesss fortress , if you go in on the cand side .

Its not as guarded , but its not exactly easy , either .

youre just now telling me this ? Chapter 187 Would you have believed me if I told you earlier ? 3/7 I swallowed
