Aeony didn't like finding locked doors; it was one of the few things to get her in a rage. The Upper Dome was supposed to benefit all the various groups and factions in the City, yet a room was locked. She'd seen Waide being called to follow Muzzie and her curiosity had caused her to follow them. Now she was angry.

Silsk would have battered the door in and threatened to flay the occupants alive, perhaps even crush a skull or two to emphasise the point. Aeony wasn't Silsk though, she prided herself on being calm and logical. She banged hard on the door, three or four times.

"Muzzie ! Waide ! I saw you go in there."

She waited and dark angels weren't normally patient. Aeony wasn't going to call again, ignoring her wasn't just rude, it was stupid. She brought her fist back and struck the door. Nothing, no response at all from inside and the door had hurt her hand. She felt the door carefully with her fingertips and sensed a strong enchantment. Muzzie ! It had to be him.

"You can't stay in there forever !" She shouted.

It crossed her mind that the enchantment might be blocking her voice. They might all be blissfully unaware that a seriously annoyed dark angel was shouting at them. Aeony braced her tail against the wall behind her and brought her foot up. She'd kicked in far stronger looking doors than the one on front of her. The hinges she decided, always a weak point of any door. Her heel kicked hard between the hinges and the door didn't move, not even a shudder. Her foot hurt though and the noise had brought a few people into the corridor.

"I will not be defied like this !" She screamed.

Three times she used her tail to hammer the door, yet it still refused to move at all. Aishar was now in the corridor, watching her leader shouting threats through a door. It was demeaning ! Aeony now had to get through the door.

"Get our people." She said to Aishar.

"How many ?"

Aeony was close to a full rage, her eyes were now bright purple. She looked at Aishar and saw her second in command flinch.

"All of them of course." Replied Aeony. "And find Babaef. There is work here for a sorcerer."
