UPON ENTERING TÍR NA MBEO, Joey realized how warm it was, and how dry. Removing his raincoat, Marcus appeared and the bright light of the doorway disappearing right after.

“So this is the Land of the Living?” Joey asked, looking around the wood lined clearing. It didn’t look any different than a typical forest on Earth.

“It should be,” Marcus answered, placing the satchel back in his pocket before taking off the coat. Surveying the area himself, he became chagrined. “Someone should be here to meet us,” he stated. “We’re kind of up shit creek without a guide. Meriden’s camp is concealed by magic and even if it wasn’t, it’s not like I know this place like the back of my hand.”

“Who goes there?” came a gruff man’s voice from the shade of the trees.

Marcus and Joey spun in place looking for the source, arms at the ready to fight if need be.

“Just a couple of travelers,” Marcus replied. Until he was sure of who they were talking to he wasn’t about to be too chatty.

“Travelers eh? Who just happened to stumble upon the main entrance to the Otherworld?” he answered.

“Funny you put it like that,” Joey said, getting a sharp look from Marcus.

“What do you two gobshites take me for?” the man barked.

“Unsure what you mean,” Marcus replied, “since you have us at a loss.”

“Ah, good point,” was the reply, much friendlier in tone. Brennan appeared in front of them in a haze of sparkling gold.

Seeing the leprechaun, Marcus remained reserved, knowing how temperamental they could be. Joey, on the other hand, missed the memo completely.

“Oh wow, a leprechaun!” Joey said excitedly. “Finally, some cool shit!”

“What do you mean by that, fecker?” Brennan spat defensively.

“What?” Joey responded. “I… Nothing.”

Brennan put up his tiny fists. “Seems like you got a problem, mate,”

“No, not at all,” Joey countered. “Marcus, what’s wrong with the little guy?”

“Oh! Got jokes, do you?” Brennan snapped, growing red in the face. “You ain’t so tall yourself, eejit.”

Joey was just as irate now, face matching Brennan’s in color. “No!”

“Are you two finished yet?” Marcus interrupted, attempting to take back control of the situation. It seemed to work, Brennan calming down rather quickly.

Joey thought the little guy was a few cards short of a deck.

“So who are you both, really?” Brennan asked Marcus pointedly.

“You first,” Marcus challenged. “We’re still at a disadvantage knowing who you are.”

“Brennan’s the name,” he replied, “doorman to the Otherworld. Awfully busy this week it seems.”

“Brandon?” Joey said in amazement. “We know a Journeyman by that name; just met him on this trip, too.”

“It’s BREN-NAN,” the leprechaun replied ultra slowly, trying to subdue his accent somewhat.

Judging by Joey’s face, he was unsuccessful in making things sound better, Marcus smacking him lightly in the back of the head. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked pointedly. “We barely know this guy and you’re already divulging secrets within five seconds!”

“Ye best listen to him, lad,” Brennan said. “Ol’ grizzly chops here knows what he’s talking about.”

Marcus was deadpan, the leprechaun quickly changing his tune.
