As soon as Cassius reached the last step of the stairs, an intoned feminine voice sounded from off to the side. There, sitting on a swiveling golden stool chair, was the extraordinarily gorgeous Hellion. Her eyes, like attentive pools of honey, watched the immortal-like man with deep intrigue.
While sipping on a cup of homebrew coffee, she gave her master a certain kind of look.
Cassius understood this look very well.
Sighing, he said, "HELL… I know that I have to go back, but I am not yet strong enough. Furthermore, there are some things I still need to do on Earth…"
Hellion blinked. Taking another sip, she motioned to the swiveling stool chair beside her.
Cassius took the hint and sat down next to her, where he then heard her say, "Those mortal women of yours? And that Gate… World's End, was it? Child, you know none of this will matter soon enough, don't you?"
Cassius appeared confused. "What do you mean by that?"
