Chapter 71

When Ronald was helping everyone pack their things and take down the dome in the middle of the forest patch, his heart felt utterly empty.

He kept glancing at the jade pot resting on Jane's lap.

"Hey bud. You okay?" Gerald popped out from behind him, startling him a little because ehe was busy sailing a boat through his plethora of thoughts.

"Yeah. I'm fine. We should get going though. I assume the others have reached the palace by now, our team is the last one." He informed, Gerald nodding his head and walking away with his trunk full of weaponry and war essentials.

His other backpack, much smaller than the trunk, was dumped by the many luggage bags, Ronald's responsibility if he mentions.

"Okay. All set, I guess." Jane said while standing up and walking towards the team.

"The spell is down, everything is clear. We're set to go, sire." The old witch said, proceeding to join the team members and ready to dispatch from this cursed piece of land.
