Victoria's POV
The driver dropped us in the middle of the mountains.
Dad, I don’t understand. Where are we going? I asked. He made funny faces at Abrax, who giggled.
Makarius took my hand and gently squeezed it. "Victoria, let's be patient and find out together," he said, his voice calm and reassuring.
An SUV pulled up with its windows darkened.
"Sir," the man said as he got out. He bowed to us.
He opened the door and helped me inside. My dad sat in the front, while Makarius and Abrax joined me in the back.
After driving for more than two hours, he pulled over.
"We have to go on foot from here. It's not far," Balthazar said.
The path was rough. Makarius carried Abrax in one arm and held my hand with the other.
After more than half an hour of rough terrain, we reached a waterfall.
