Jake, get out of there now.

You can't believe anything it says, Jake. Get out of there!
'Portal to the airship.' I scooped up Hilgarda before she'd even had a chance to object and darted through. Curiously, though, nobody attempted to follow us. And not wanting to test fate, I sealed it up straight away.
Hilgarda scratched my face with one of her claws. 'Explain yourself!'
