Valkyrie opened the door to find the always impeccably dressed Skulduggery Pleasant.
'About time you came back.'
Valkyrie had tears in her eyes. 'I couldn't leave everything behind for that long.'
'Are you bringing that creature home?' Asked Skulduggery stopping her tears from spilling.
Valkyrie raised an eyebrow, 'That creature is Xena and she proves to be an utterly useful companion.'
'And why is that?'
'Because she doesn't have an ego the size of London like you. And she doesn't talk. Again like you.'
Skulduggery sighed despite having no lungs. 'I never understood the meaning of pets. You feed them, you entertain them and you care for them. Yet, they don't do a lot, do they?'
Valkyrie allowed herself a small smile. 'Aww. It's sweet how jealous you get.'
They walked towards the gleaming, black Bentley and put all of her bags in. She missed it. She missed the thrill of their adventures. She missed the amusing conversations they used to have together. But most of all, she missed her family, Tanith and of course, the magic. She started to feel nostalgic and quickly got inside setting Xena on her lap. Then she realised that the seat she was sitting in was the exact same position she had left it, five years ago.
