What will it take to find you?

At the portal

Well then, follow me.

They walked towards the path that led out of Cartridge and there Magdalene created a portal that would cross Eric to the other side.

Please, remember all that I have said to you.

We need your assistance, Cartridge needs you.

Eric stared at her intently

What does this lady take me for?

I just hope I get out of this alive.

I heard that, said Magdalene.

How dare you read my thoughts?

It doesn't matter now. Leave the portal is closing, there isn't much time.

Eric knew she was in pain and that her people mattered to her though he didn't know how to help but he had to do something.

Magdalene's hands were still in the air as she raised the portal which was now closing.

Eric, won't you go home?

This portal will only open in the next three days. Magdalene screamed struggling to keep it open. It required alot of Energy and that was what she didn't have.

I don't think I will be leaving, Eric said softly.

What?

Yes, I am going to help.

Magdalene closed the portal and tears flowed from her eyes as she smiled.

I knew you would help, the crystals don't lie.

Eric walked towards her and covered her ina warm embrace.

What should I do to help? Eric asked.

They separated from the embrace and she said

Follow me, I want to show you something.
