"People where I come from sometimes have magical powers, usually just the one specific power per person. Mine's expansive biokinesis, I can modify my body in all sorts of ways and generate matter with it. Biological stuff only. And I can generate blood right in my mouth and drink it, so I basically feed myself with nothing."

Fenris sips from his tea. "What I want to make it clear is just that you didn't steal some tome of secret lore, right? If you did we don't mind continuing the conversation, we just would prefer to move it somewhere with less stuff we own." Also less secrets. "Or at least back in Felix's home."

"See how we're learning things already! As far as I was aware, there are no tomes of secret lore, and I am knowledgeable enough to know the secret shadow vampire government. Also I'm pretty sure I'm from another world, what with the magic portal, so maybe my world doesn't have these tomes."

The twins exchange looks. "Okay..." Fenris says uneasily. "That at least is a point against the possibility of a vengeful Witch-Queen coming here. Well, see... Wait, what is your name again?"

Permalink

"She didn't say. I'm Felix and this is Fenris, by the way. Color-coded for easy identification." Felix says shruging his red-feathered wings while waving at Fenris' white's.

"Sadde. Weird, I know. And no I'm not a Witch-Queen, the Queen where I'm from actually calls herself Empress Regnant and she's pretty decent and not at all vengeful."

Permalink

"Good. Not all Witch-Queens are bad, but they like their tomes of secret lore." Pause "So, Sadde..."

Permalink

"Fenris!" Felix admonishes. "Okay. Sadde, Do you mind showing us evidence of your claims? It's not that we think you are lying..." He shrugs helplessly.

Permalink

"Was that some twin telepathy? And sure." She goes sparkly, then not sparkly again, and now she's standing at the other side of the room. "Do you want me to show you the door back to my world, too?"

Permalink

"Kinda, I'll explain to you later. What is up with the sparkly skin?"

Permalink

"I was wondering how you managed to get up here with the ladder being half chewed off. Please, do show us the door?"

Permalink

"Vampires where I'm from have sparkly skin. I can unsparkle myself with my witch powers. And sure, I'll show you the door."

Permalink

"Felix, that has got to be a point in favor of what I'm thinking."

Permalink

"Lets see the door first and then we will talk."

They both lead her out and take flight. Their flights are obviously differently. Fenris pretty much ignores gravity and goes wherever he wants, while Felix actually needs to flap his wings and follow air currents.

Permalink

"Do you need a lift?" Fenris offers.

Permalink

"Nope! I'll run."

She runs.

Permalink

That is fast. She might need to slow down a little so the two can catch up to her.

Presently, they arrive at a patch of frozen water that looks identical to others patches of frozen water, but is where the door was.

Permalink

...was?

"Wait. Where—the door—" She zips this way and that, looking for the door, even though perfect recall means she couldn't have been mistaken about its location. "Fuck!"

Permalink

"What is wrong?" Fenris lands near her, well, he floats above the ground near.

Permalink

Felix lands, for real, a moment later. "Is there a problem?"

Permalink

"The door vanished."

Permalink

"...How did it open the first time?"

Permalink

She grabs a key from her pocket. "Magical key," she repeats, and demonstrates by opening a door to—apparently that's a hundred metre drop into a volcano.

Permalink

The twins look at the door, barely paying attention to the volcano.

"That is not a magic door as we know them."

Permalink

"Are you sure this is the right place?"
