But for a while, my fear subsided. James’ pace was constant and he rubbed my legs while we walked, careful of where he touched. I knew he was happy to be the one to have come to my rescue by carrying me. Lucan seemed to have answers for everything since we first met, and now James was finally the one with a solution to the problem. I knew he was worried about my thoughts of Lucan, but truthfully, nothing could get in the way of how I felt about James. Nonetheless, I didn’t mind seeing him squirm. “Hey you two, look.” Lucan stopped and pointed ahead towards the tips of some tall trees. A bright, whitish blue wall masked against the clouds. The color of the perimeter blended well with the bright appearance of the sky, making it more difficult to view through the numerous tree limbs. I’m not sure I would’ve noticed it this soon if it hadn’t been for Lucan directing our sight. The perimeter was massive, but still a ways off, yet we were getting closer. I squealed excitedly, temporarily forgetting the final task of climbing it.
