Chapter 40: Far away BUT close

The thing about Time being put through the Trial, was, that it was pointless. Still, the aged spirit needed to put in a token effort for the goblin and the gnome.

The demonic murder muffin was surely in the clear, for no one expected a being who was born to the Lord of Chaos to be anything but a departed soul for the Black Gate.

As Time led the three adventurers, he saw a strange sight. Two men in suits were standing between the two gates. And what was stranger, one of them had a fairy on his shoulder.

"Ben!" Time heard Kai yell, more than a little joy bleeding through the greeting. "Ben! I told you he'll hire you!"

Time blinked. Wait… the fairy was not dead?

"He did! And I even know where the glass castle is! Alex sends his regards!"

Time blinked, a smile blossoming on his face as he saw the rune on which the two men were stepping on. The rune between worlds, where the entrance to the Black Void was.
