skieblueHere is chapter nine of The Prophecy (in case you couldn't guess from the subject.)
Chapter Nine: Portals
Vanidor had left early that morning, for the portal, in order to escort the son of Eldarion and Lunea safely to Arda. Kaelea had seen him to portal, although he could not understand why she had wanted to. They had spent a fair amount of time together since the defeat of Dantor, and he was aware that to some people, they must look like a couple. He had told Kaelea that he did not think of her that way, but he knew that she kept hoping.
The journey to the portal was short, taking only a little over an hour, and the journey through the portal, took only a moment. Then, Vanidor found himself on a very strange world. He looked around to see if this portal was guarded, like the one on Mithgar was.
An exotic woman with deep green eyes, tan skin, dark wavy hair pulled back in a braid, a Dark purple shirt and jeans with black boots, medium thick lips and a slender hourglass figure walked up to Vanidor.
"Are you lost? You don't look like you're from around here." Her heavy Spanish accent clearly evident.
"I am not from around here," Vanidor said. He looked at this woman, in her strange outfit. She was unlike anyone he had ever seen before. "I am from a world called Mithgar. I have come here to escort the son of Eldarion and Lunea to Mithgar, where he can find safe contact to Arda, and his heritage." He then realized he had forgotten to say something. "My name is Alor Vanidor, from Arden Vale."
"My name is Karia. And . . .um . . . who the hell is Eldarion's and Lunea's son? It would be very helpful for me to know this."
"His name is Wesley. I don't know that much about him, really. I have never met him before, but I know that right now, he is in a city called Los Angeles, and he is in danger. I have been given the mission of escorting him to the portal and to Mithgar. After that, I don't know."
"Wesley.... The one that works with Angel? I know who that is. I was headed over there when I saw you come out of the portal...would you like an escort yourself? It seems as if you could use one." Karia mentioned.
"I guess I could use an escort. This world is rather strange. And we don't have much time. We need to be on Arda within 48 hours. That is what Kaje said."
"We better move fast, then. Follow me."
"Okay. I guess since you know this world, at least I hope you do, I should follow you."

Wesley was sitting down at the kitchen to read and drink his coffee when he heard the door to the lounge open. He walked out to see a male with blonde hair; in the oddest outfit he had ever seen and a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
"Can I help you?"
"Wesley? Will you come with us...it's a dire emergency."
"Do I know you?"
"No, but I know Angel."
Angel and Cordy walked into the room. Angel stepped forward.
"Karia? Is that you?"
"Hello Angelus."
He stepped forward and they embraced.
"It's been awhile. What brings you to Los Angeles?"
"I was going to come to visit and then I ran into this nice young man. We need to take Wesley to Arda to meet his parents Eldarion and Lunea."
"How did you know?" Wesley asked wide-eyed and breathless.
"Vanidor told me. They have been expecting you."
He nodded and left the room, to gather his stuff.

"I need to tell you something," Calyna said, after they had been traveling for a while.
"What is it?" Vanidor asked.
"It has to do with Kris. I'd almost forgotten about this, and I just remembered. He had a secret job. And he would never tell me where he was or what he was doing. When he called me, I would ask him, and he always said he was in a motel somewhere. He sent me letters, and the letters were from all over. And, when I first told him about the murder, he dismissed them. I'd had dreams about the murders, but he said he knew enough about law on this world to know that I couldn't convict anyone based on dreams." Calyna said.
Wesley looked over to her, "You know what that means right?"
"Some woman began them and he took them over...she then went to planning them." Karia replied nonchalantly.
"What!?! Then why did he blame me? Bugger!"
"The woman who committed the first few murders was Lothiniel," Vanidor said. "My brother's girlfriend sensed that she had killed people. However, she didn't say anything about Kris having killed anyone. As for why he was eager to blame someone else, he was covering up what he had done. He did not want his wife to know he was a murderer, I would guess. So, he accused someone else in front of her."
"But it didn't work," Calyna said. "I never believed what he was trying to say about who was really guilty. And I am not surprised that it was Lothiniel who committed the first murders, since she seemed to know a bit too much about them. He acted like he didn't know anything, though. Even when he knew I was having dreams about the murders."
"It is possible that your dreams were sending. Someone may have wanted you to have that information. Mages have done so on Mithgar, a few times," Vanidor said.
"Well...where exactly does this take us?" Wesley asked from behind, as his breathing began to get harder.
"This takes us to all the portals. Anything else you need to know?"
"No. I was just asking."
"Then try to keep up and stay quite, this is a dangerous forest."
"You have no idea how dangerous it is," a man said, stepping out from among the trees. He signaled and was joined by several more men. "We guard these woods, and none pass through here without our permission." As he said this, he drew a sword. Some of the other men had bows that they prepared to fire.
Karia stepped forward. "Party time." She took a fighting stance. The men surrounded her. Before you could even see anything, the men had been disarmed and in a pile. Karia's foot resting on one of them. She smacked her hands together, as if dusting something off of them. "Too easy fellas."
"Let's move on."
"And I thought the women from the Golden Horde were really good fighters," Calyna said. "You could probably defeat them, if you tried. Not that you would need to, since they're good. I guess Adrianna is probably their Queen now, since I doubt that Vanya still lives. I wonder what else has changed on Arda since I was last there. It seems strange. Kris and I only spent five years on this world, but it has been about thirty-one years since we left Arda."
"Thanks. All skilled fighters need good speed and agility, isn't that correct Angel?"
"Yes... you have improved...you impress me."
"Coming from you I will take that as a compliment."
