The Scholar (7)

“We should leave.” Nti Anem said to the rest on the light realm table. Ku Jian raised a brow slightly at his previous actions.

“Somewhere quiet.” Nti Anem said to Tie Nse. His mind had all but stilled at what the boy had done before. He pulled out a jade slip and flicked into the air and a portal tore open before them.

“They will be pissed.” he said and Nti Anem nodded to Ku Jian to enter. She did as told, dragging Ed with her. Nti Anem glanced at Tie Nse slightly, and then entered before him. Tie Nse sighed at thought of his dead eyes and walked in.

They walked out on a mountain range; the miles of grass were far, the trees hugged the mountain slopes; the air was filled with dew.

“Where are we?” Nti Anem asked him.

“A small tear in the Malsan lands.” Tie Nse answered.

“Malsan? Is that not another world completely?” Ni Anem asked.
