(3) Seven: orange exhaustion

It continued through the night. Danny and Naomi was good at finding and gathering the keys whilst Erwin found spells to capture the monsters and place them in their respective realms. Together they locked most doors and Naomi returned the keys to their gnomes. But it took hours. Danny thought it felt like an eternity, and when he confessed that to Erwin, he said Danny was right. Time inside the Port of Realms wasn't the same as the 'Earthen Realm'. Though, in Manchester, the day had turned to night.

Danny was the one supposed to go outside to the mulch when they were in their last corridor. He went, and saw that the time was around five in the morning, but he wasn't tired. Probably the adrenalin. He went north, along Huddersfield road. It was hard finding monsters when Manchester was so large, but Erwin had taken the turns in the the city centre, as he had the ability to teleport himself. Erwin had told Danny there were some monsters in the field up north, and Danny thought it to be the golf club.

And sure enough it was.

Golfers were still there, but they seemed terrified. But non-Kleiis can't see the monsters? They all waved their arms in the air when Danny entered the field. Unless they are all Kleiis. But Danny knew the probability of around fifteen golfers to all be a Kleii, when around 14% of the Earth's population was one, was tiny.

"Do you see the monsters?!" One of them shouted at Danny when he was close enough, "'Cause I don't believe this bullshit!"

"I see them," Danny replied, "Do you?"

Three of the golfers nodded their heads and shrank back into the group. The rest shook their heads and looked at Danny as though he was a lunatic.

"I'm here to capture them and get them back to where they belong," Danny had never felt more badass.

He pointed to where he wanted the huddle of golfers to be, and then opened the flask Erwin had given him. It sucked up all creatures that didn't belong in this realm in a (approximately) one mile radius. The three Kleii-golfers stared in wonder when the monsters were sucked up like a vacuum cleaner.

Danny shut the flask and tipped his invisible hat, "I'll be on my way then, you're welcome."

When he went back to the Port of Realms, everything seemed to almost be in its' order. Naomi told him that Erwin had used a difficult spell to capture all the monsters in Manchester, and they were placing them in their realms at last.

It had taken days inside the Port, but only some hours on Earth. And now they only had one realm left to close up.

"Noelle?"
