Damien could only smile wryly at Zara's love for big entrances. Knowing they were returning to Damien's home, she decided to go grand.
When the portal opened, the sheer size had startled Damien and he decided to be lowkey, but his idea was immediately rejected.
And so, the trio entered the portal with Zara in her true form. The sensation of a portal was vastly different from his usual warps. It was like they were traveling through a long dark passage that continued with no end. Zara simply flew forward with the current of mana until they reached the circular exit.
And exiting was different too. They were forced to wait for a few hours before the ethereal film covering the portal disappeared. It made sense though. The portal was created using Damien's connection with earth as a medium, so it would naturally need time to form.
