Leo stepped out of the mist first, gaze searching their nearby surroundings.
"Nope," he sighed. "I still can't see squat in this place… are we sure they're here?"
Morgana stepped out of the mist next, coming to stand right beside Leo almost like they'd planned their entrance, but they didn't.
"This is where my Evil Eye was destroyed," she reported. "No doubt Anubro believed it was spying on him instead of the fools who'd come all the way here to die…"
Morgana guided Leo back to that place where the gates were, and what they found there disturbed her very much.
The Gates to the Underworld were ajar and it was unlike Anubro to leave them so is what she told Leo. Even stranger was the fact that Anubro's couch, coffee table, and entertainment display which included a ninety-inch TV screen were nowhere in sight.
"He's gone," Leo said, stating the obvious.
"No," Morgana whispered. "He's never gone… unless…"
Greetings, fellow reapers!
I have to say, I loved writing this chapter which puts Leo and Morgana front and center and in the thick of things. They don't get that enough... Plus, Maleagant!!!
Oh, and you may have questions about the Ferryman and what happened to Anubro but read on to find out eventually. :)
Lastly, brand new week guys. I hope we can count on your votes this week as well. Thank you so much!!!
