Chapter 17
It was neither heaven nor hell, nor Nirvana, nor Purgatory Cate found herself in. It wasn't the Dreamworld, though it often felt like one. It was a special place where Druid priests and priestesses transported themselves in order to gain guidance and wisdom from the inhabitants of that world.
To those who had the knowledge and the power, it was an accessible world easily reached, but difficult to comprehend. Not a place for the faint of heart or disbelievers. The Otherworld was a place more real than the very ground they walked upon now, yet that reality was more fluid than the Thames, and just as transforming. It was a special place Lachlan and Maeve were sending Cate to now.
"Do not be frightened," Maeve said as Cate's head bobbed slightly. She leaned closer and whispered in Cate's ear. "I am always with you. I will always be by your side." With that, she withdrew and stood next to Lachlan, who lifted a questioning eyebrow.
