I followed him as the path twisted into an impossibly rocky staircase. We climbed until we reached a narrow cliff that dropped away into what seemed like oblivion. When I tried to look over the edge of the rock, all I could see were clouds and darkness. In front of me were the imposing black Gates.
I am not sure where the gates are. First they rose straight and tall before Ethan. Then Ethan had to climb an imposing rocky staircase onto a narrow cliff, darkness and clouds below, to reach them.
