Then Elizabeth's entire body went rigid.
Her eyes rolled back, whites showing completely, her pupils disappearing as purple Aura erupted around her.
A vision!
Everyone turned to stare, recognizing the signs, holding their breath.
Several seconds passed.
Then Elizabeth's eyes returned to normal, purple irises showing shock mixed with something approaching disbelief.
"Portal is opening," she whispered.
"What?!"
Adrian shot to his feet despite his broken arm.
Fiona's voice emerged skeptical.
"So fast? It's only been a day–"
"There haven't been any reports of spatial fluctuations stabilizing," Adrian cut in, his mind rejecting the possibility. "The SFD has been monitoring constantly. We would have heard if–"
Ariana's whisper cut through their denials.
"It wasn't a normal portal."
Her hands clenched, her Aura trying to activate instinctively as she tried to teleport using her innate skill.
Thud
