The sky in the portal turned black the night of the invasion.
Scouts reported back within minutes, their shouting echoing throughout the walls of the keep.
August stirred.
The noises from outside of his room boded poorly.
His head lifted from the pillow, and he stared into the darkness of his room while he waited for his eyes to adjust.
Sen moaned below him.
She turned in her sleep and rubbed against his naked chest.
The door nearly blew open when Fei knocked on it.
August saw its hinges visibly move.
"August!" Fei shouted.
"Wake up, something's wrong with the portal."
She pushed the door open and August received a reminder of why locking his door was pointless.
Fei's inhuman strength didn't give a damn about how good the steel was or how complex a lock the door had.
She pushed the door and it opened.
A shame about the frame.
"August!" she shouted again.
Then she pouted when she saw him in bed with Sen.
"I'm awake," August said.
"So am I," Sen said.
