Chapter 329: An ill-fated Encounter - Parting Ways!
"Augureys are stupid," Madam Villanelle declared. "But you are right. They are indeed quieter than others. Let's go. I think I know where its nest is."
The witches left the dense patch of jungle and fairies' colony and flew towards a rather steeper cliff.
This cliff was covered in green, but sharp rocks were jutting out of the vertical wall here and there as well.
Madam Villanelle brought the brooms to a stop at the top of the cliff.
It was then Darcie heard the rumbles.
Darcie let the incomplete Firebolt go and walked towards the cliff's edge on the other side. Her eyes widened instantaneously.
It was a vast valley, vaster than imagination, and guarded by two more cliffs from left and right.
These two cliffs kept widening outwards, but even then Darcie could neither see the end of the rocky walls nor of the valley.
Yet, it wasn't the valley or the incomprehensible scale of the cliffs that had made her widen her eyes.
It was the blackness of the distant sky.
The entire horizon was drowned in black ink, and they could see occasional green and white flashes there, followed by gurgling rumbles.
