Azrael

Chapter 8

Aubrielle sit in the dirt, eyes trained on the portal. She's thinking of all the ways to activate it.

"Ow!"

"Are you OK?"

"I cut my hand on this thing."

"Wait! We haven't tried your blood yet. Maybe its activated by blood."

"I'm a little skeptical about that."

"Just try it. It's the only thing we haven't tried. If you're from that world then you were the one who activates it."

"OK fine."

Azrael cut his hand on the sharp edges and watch his blood run in the creases. Aubrielle realised the rain isn't washing the blood away. She has high hopes for this.

A blinding light almost burn her eyes. Once it fades she was staring into the shimmering portal.

"Yes! I know it would work!"

"Now what?"

"We go through. Whatever is on the other side we'll face it."

"You're one crazy woman."

"So I've been told." She just hope they won't get killed when they step through. "Now let's go find out who you are."

She grab his hand and they went through together.

Aubrielle cough as she inhale smoke. Not very welcoming.

"Lord Krixus. Welcome back."

Aubrielle fan away whatever is flying around in the air and open her eyes.

"Where are we?"

She look around and then up at Azrael. Her eyes grew wide when she saw him in a cloak and some fancy ass clothes with a sword strap to his hip.

"What are you wearing?"

"What are you wearing?" Her brows furrow before she look down at what she's wearing.

"Hell to the fucking no! This is atrocious."

"I think you look nice."

She look around and almost scream at the desk bodies. "This is a damn battle field Azrael!"

"His name is Lord Krixus."

"I don't give a damn what his name is you idiot!"

"I beg your pardon?"

"Can we get out of here please? Home awaits and I don't want to leave my house unsupervised."

"There's no way back out here Aubrielle." She turn in circles and the portal is indeed gone. By the way, my name is Lord Krixus. But you can call me Azrael. Just you." He shot a glare at the men around them.

"You remember?"

"Everything."

"So are you good or bad?"

"Very bad. I did this." She look at the land around her. Everything is burn to ash.

"First get me out of here. I'm going to be sick."
