Kurt no longer thought whatever he was chasing was simply a shadow golem. And what does that mean? It could travel through the gate. He looked at his surroundings and there were dead Valentine members on the ground. Most likely the guards were taken out at the beginning.
Kurt didn't exactly know where this was. The location of the gate was on another continent. So the area seemed to be guarded. It lacked a roof though so it wasn't inside a structure.
Unsure of what to do he came back to the other side to see what the result of the battle was. Harvey would have been looking at least.
When he got back to the courtyard the enemy had recently been defeated. There were no remains left as the shadows would dissipate instead of remain.
"Kurt," said Talia, "did you get that weird one?"
"No, it escaped."
"Escaped? How?"
"Through the gate."
"Damn. We are starting to search the castle but I don't think we will find them. But we did find the people here. All dead."
