“Where exactly does this summit take place?” Zaria asked as Ardyn shuffled through items in his lab.

“It’s in another realm, a magical one that was created after the world’s ended. Each leader owns a portal that takes them to this realm. And while there, all powers are neutralized,” Ardyn offered, and the others nodded.

“Excuse me?” Zaria snapped her fingers, causing everyone else to look at her. “Why are you all so calm? Doesn’t that mean we’ll be defenseless? I don’t like the idea of that.”

“Yes, we will be, but so will they.” Ardyn frowned. “The problem is that the portal locks after they cross through. It was designed that way purposely to avoid anyone attempts at a power grab. Back in the day, when the world was still up for grabs, things were not so civilized. One leader, and no more than two guards, can pass through. And they need a special charm to make it work, which I thought I still had here but I can’t seem to find!” He slammed his fist against the nearby table.

Zaria was right by his side and whispered into his ear, “You okay?”

“Yes. It’s just, I can’t believe I lost it.” He shook his head, allowing for an awkward pause.

“So, where can we find one of these portals?” Jinn refocused the group from Ardyn’s emotional outburst.

“There is one in every capital. My father owns one, and I’m sure so does Briar. Even Graham has one here in Reverie.”

“We aren’t going to Graham,” Nitara snipped. She still hadn’t gotten over their last encounter in which the new Vampire leader had accused her of being ungrateful. If she saw him again it might not end well.

“Luckily, he isn’t our only option here.” Jinn touched her shoulder and she whispered an apology. The entire group was falling apart.

“So, we’re off to find a portal.” Zaria tried to sound cheerful about it but really there was fear in her tone.

“Or, and I’m just tossing this out there for shits and giggles, we could just create our own.” Genesis grinned widely from his outstretched position on the chaise lounge that sat by the window. “Really, you all act as if you don’t have immense power coursing through your veins. It’s sickening. I mean, talk about a waste of power! If we’re going there, we might as well make an entrance!”

“We don’t even know where the portal is supposed to go, how do you suppose we make one?” Ardyn questioned. If he could just whip up a portal, he would have.

“It’s simple enough. Take me to the one that belongs to your dear old dad and I’ll do the rest.” Genesis stood. “I guess I’ll be the one doing everything around here because the rest of you are a mess. No wonder you needed me to come and save the day.”

“I’m going to knock that dumbass grin off his face,” Nitara muttered to Jinn. She’d taken on Bruto’s role as hot head in his absence.

“Settled down woman,” Jinn winked at her.
