A New Door can be Disastrous

ON EARTH (MOUNTAINS OF BENZUA)

Schwann and Amelia resumed their search in the forest. They searched almost everywhere in the hidden territory. But, Aster and the others were nowhere to be found. They had to find them at all costs. Every time they searched a place and did not find them, Amelia became more and more frustrated.

Suddenly they heard a small crack. A small click. Then a loud bang. The bang was not too loud for the city dwellers to listen to. But, it as loud enough for the people in the forest to hear. Amelia and Schwann heard the bang and saw a door open in the sky. It appeared like a black hole and four people jumped out of the door. They couldn't see the people clearly but could see that two of them had armours.

"Another attack?! Why didn't Tania inform? SHIT!!!" Schwann was shocked. Another attack would be disastrous. Aster wasn't prepared yet. Schwann knew that the number of people this time were less. Yet, they must be strong. Otherwise, they wouldn't be sent here with such a limited number of people in the force.

"Maybe, Tania was captured again?"

"That is possible. If so, Tania must be brought in too."

"How are you so sure?"

"Do you remember what happened last time?"

"I don't know. I wasn't there when it happened."

"Oh! I forgot." Schwann had almost forgotten that Amelia wasn't there with them that night. He was so used to seeing her face now that he thought that Amelia was always there with them. "That night, they brought Tania here so that they could make her open the door to go back to their dimension. But, Tania couldn't open the door from Earth and I had to open it for her. I think no one saw what happened between us except for Aster. So they must have the notion that Tania can take them back."

"If its the people from the other dimension, Aster and his friends won't be safe. Let's go and check where the door opened. Maybe we can track them before they make a move."

"Yeah let's go."

They walked fast to the place where the door opened in the sky. Schwann held Amelia's hand all they way. They paced up their speed when they heard faint voices near them. When they knew knew that they were close to their enemies, they slowed down. They hid behind a huge tree. The faint voices were now clear.

Apparently Hogman heard the bang too. But, he could not see the door open as it closed very fast. Still, he felt that something was amiss. He walked to the direction where heard the bang.

Aster, Sienna, Eren and Tania had just hit the floor. They stood up on their feet again. Tania gave the trio a glare as if to ask how they reached her planet. Aster understood the meaning of the glare and told Tania about how they pulled the lever in the cavern.

"You mean, there's another door which can be accessed by anyone who has the guts to go into the dark cave? "

"Yes. That's how it seems."

"But another door leading into our dimension can be disastrous." Tania said, looking a bit too serious.

That's when Sienna thought about it. She couldn't avoid asking about it. "If there's a door here that can be accessed by anyone... Isn't it possible that there could be one in your planet too?"

Everyone turned grave at that question. Another doir in that dimension meant that the mages there didn't need Tania to come to Earth from now on. They could do it on their own. That would be disastrous.

Aster shivered at that thought. "Hope there isn't one."

"You people didn't have to come there and put your life at risk." Tania was a lot concerned about their safety.

Eren was an idiot when it comes to these things. He jumped and told an answer.

"It's not like that. We pulled that latch and reached a bazaar that Aster was familiar with. Then we heard screams and all. So we just thought we would take a look. That's when one of the guards told about a traitor thingy. So we guessed it would be you. We were, actually, just curious. Nothing else."

Sienna pinched Eren on the waist making Eren cringe a little. Aster's face was red hot with anger.

"It's was not curiosity actually. We thought we would help a friend. You are our friend right? So we, naturally, do not want you in trouble." Sienna explained.

"Thanks a lot. I would have died in there if you guys hadn't been there for me."

"You don't have to thank us. We like helping eachother. Friends always helps eachother when they are in trouble." Sienna said.

All of them fell silent for a moment.

Tania noticed Aster's golden armour. "That armour... Where did you get that from?"

Aster got nervous while speaking to Tania. He went like a bullet train and narrated the thing in one breathe.

"Oh! Actually, I don't know either. I touched a blue stone and then, I had this golden armour on me and also that sword that I had the other day. Plus, I was burning in blue flames."

Why was he nervous? He didn't know. His ears were burning hot. His ears had turned red.

"What stone are you talking about?" Tania and the others were startled to hear that voice. They didn't know who it was. Then they saw two people emerge from behind a huge tree and walk towards them. Their faces weren't clear as they were still in the dark.

They stepped out into the moonlight. The others could see their faces well.

"Schwann?! Amelia? Why are you two here? Who's there at the cave?" Aster asked.

"Shouldn't I ask you that question? You freaks! You bloody bastards!" Amelia started weeping.

Aster and the others hadn't expected such a reaction from her. That's when they saw Hogman running towards them.
