When the maids in the village woke up in the morning, a symphony of frights broke out.
"Yes, the portal isn't here," said one of them, who was tidying up the road with stone magic.
"Master Ryan needed to finish sending the crystals..." the other replied.
Denying it with her head, she pointed to the gigantic stone slab in front of where the portal should be "He closed the connection between the two places, he's probably sorting out some problem and should be back soon".
The two nodded and sighed; in a way, it was good to have a moment to rest. A few minutes later, another maid came out of the house astonished "The portal! It's gone!"
* Sigh *
"Shall I explain this time?"

"Why did you decide to come here?" Nyx questioned as she turned to Ryan.
Swinging his blade to remove the fresh blood, he said, "I need to check something."
