Sebastian opened the door to see the bright, white light that shone in the middle of the room. It hindered everything, and a sharp zap sound echoed as the portal shut, leaving behind a trail of white smoke.
His pupils dilated as he stepped inside, watching the cloud of smoke that disappeared. He could see Eve, who had pulled back Helga just before they could step into the portal as it closed.
"I'm sorry. I can't leave," Eve whispered to Helga, who stared at her, confused.
She let go of Helga's hand and moved backward, turning to look at Sebastian, who was watching them. She started to walk towards him, but Helga swiftly pulled her towards herself, with her hand around Eve's neck. Using her other hand, Helga sent a gust of wind hurtling at Sebastian, throwing him backwards against the wall.
