章 318: Chapter 318: Dad To The Rescue

That was my cue. I stood and gestured at the Enforcers near the entrance. "Open the door."

Batsheva glared at me, but the two black-robed witches obeyed without even hesitating. The seal retreated, the wooden portal swinging open. Batsheva's magic climbed around it as she fought to keep control. Quaid entered first, Dad's statue floating behind him. I joined my power to his, bringing Dad's effigy forward to stand front and center, right in the Council's faces.

Even better? I placed it right in the path of a sunbeam. The light caught the facets of his effigy and turned it into a sparkling star.

"Behold," I said, letting my magic boost my volume, "the Demon Lord."

Dad didn't need my help. I felt him hovering there, waiting for my signal. And, right on time, he seized the moment and tore open the veil, stepping though into his statue.
