Call and blessings

Katherine's eyes flickered as she felt a powerful surge of energy. She took another look at the portal. Her eyes reflecting the light. "Sage, we must go now. I doubt I will be able to call the portal again."

Sage let out a heavy sigh, growing irate with Arthur for not paying attention to her. "Arthur, you need to leave."

Arthur, realizing what was going on, cleared his throat and stood upright. "I am coming with you."

Sage could not believe her ears. "No, no. You need to return to the mansion."

Arthur smiled. "And tell His Majesty what you are doing here?"

Sage's ears popped out of her head. He was blackmailing her!

"Sage!" Katherine called out with urgency as the portal began to flicker.

"Listen to me! Leave! Now!" Sage yelled in frustration, grabbed Katherine's wrist, and they both disappeared through the portal.

Arthur was taken by surprise. He did not know what else to do except rush into the portal, which vanished instantly.
