Searching The Portals

The two girls were equally surprised to see me.

"Antares!" Cecilia shouted, beaming with a smile at me. "What are you doing here???"

"Hey, you two. I just want to take a little look around here."

My eyes wandered to the pair of Angel Wings on Aurendiria's back. "Auren, you finally got yourself the wings!"

Aurendiria smiled. "Yeah, after knowing what they can do, of course I just have to get them if only to come here and have a look."

I did not need to ask what exactly she was looking for. Although we had all agreed that BlackPuma was not lost in the universe but somewhere else, a part of Aurendiria still wanted to believe that he was somewhere close. She might be hoping to find him chained up between portals to explain why he was unable to come back, but safe and sound.

"How is it? Have you guys found anything?" I asked gingerly.

"Nope," Cecilia answered. "But we have been working to tag the portals one by one."
