Chapter 8: The Gate That Has No Door

Every wall has a gate. That was the logic Sera had operated on since the beginning. But after two full days of walking its perimeter, she found nothing — no seam, no keyhole, no crack large enough for even a finger.

Ash watched her from a boulder, tail curled neatly around its paws. "You're looking with the wrong eyes," it said.

Sera stopped. "Then which eyes should I use?" The cat said nothing. It simply looked at the Wall. And for a moment, Sera thought she saw a door.
