“You’ve changed your tune.” Tristan said his eyebrow raised. We had walked away from the circus next to the arch. I had an idea on how we could get Aurora freed.

“I just had to help her.” I replied.

“Guilt?” He asked.

“Something like that.”

He smirked at me and punched in a code to open the vault door. Air hissed from behind it as it slid open and I felt the temperature was several degrees cooler. Tristan stepped forward and down into the levels below the main building. As we reached the bottom, I could see rows and rows of books secured behind locked glass cabinets. The light was dim and the concrete floor was poorly covered with a heavily patterned threadbare rug.

“What are you hoping to find?” Tristan asked.

“A reason for all the colours and why the archway portal changed colour.” I answered.

“The colours one is simple. Even William should know that. Aurora is a descendent of all 4 beings. That is why she had all four colours. It is very rare, but it has been seen before.” He answered and I nodded remembering that I had heard of it before. “The purple coloured portal, I cannot explain.”

“That part was bizarre.”

“She is special, isn’t she?” I asked him. Tristan was a man who knew a lot of things and I suspected he knew more about Aurora than he was letting on.

“I have considered that might be the case.” He said diplomatically. “I think we would be best to check the journals of Thomas Walsh as he was the man who created the arch trials.”

I nodded in agreement and he opened a cabinet and pulled out several leather-bound journals and handed some to me. We sat down and began to skim read hoping to find the answer.

It seemed like hours passed in that underground room with the two of us reading by dim lamp light. Eventually Tristan shouted out that he had found something.

He read from the page.

May 12th 1859, it was observed today that during a routine trial, a hybrid was illuminated as peculiar. Instead of the standard two or three smoke colours, four were seen. This itself has been seen before and therefore was not very alarming. However, the portal itself changed colour, dark purple. The Mult had no idea why.

“It seems like even Thomas Walsh didn’t know.” I sighed.

“Wait a minute, there is something scribbled in the margin.” Tristan squinted to read it.

A note on this. The hybrid in question seems to have some sort of connection to the portal, he is able to enter at will. The half breed has since been put down. This power is dangerous.

“What does that mean?” I asked unsure.

“I think it means that the arch isn’t closed to Aurora. It goes back to the basic principles, once a candidate has completed their trial and the smoke rises, that’s it. There blood will never work to open the arch again. It seems that Rory, has a sort of loop hole. Where she can enter the arch again for whatever reason.
