Magical Engineering

Chapter 229: Fan & Shit, a Romantic Sequel



“Let’s get the hell out of here!” I said loudly the moment we were back in the bus.

“That was quick, I mean, I heard the prophecy and all, but kind of figured you’d all stick around for more,” Timon replied, squinting an eye at me.

“Dave is a little unnerved by the husk they use as a doorman, but I do share the sentiment. We need to head out. They’re a little culty for my tastes,” Pryte explained.

“Oh, don’t blame you, Dave. I hate the husks, especially the older ones, once the rot starts to set in, disgusting. And yeah, I heard that prophecy, cult wouldn’t surprise me. Let’s get our asses back home.” Timon reversed the bus, spinning his head entirely around as he looked out the rear window in the back.

The thing from before reappeared and seemed to be giving us signals toward the gate. It was possible we were judging these people a bit harder than needed, as they didn’t actually seem to be trying to stop us, but if Corey was uncomfortable, I wasn’t willing to take the chance. The bus came to a hard stop in front of the gate. The vortex that it had previously held was missing. Okay, maybe they were trying to stop us.

“Dammit, I take it this means they aren’t letting us leave?” I asked in frustration. I very much did not want to be here right now.

“I’m not sure this is them,” Pryte said, standing up from his seat and pointing at the thing giving us directions. It was hovering in front of the gate now, turning its head back and forth between us and the gate. It looked confused.

“Yeah, no one is coming out of the building to stop us either. Maybe see if they can turn it back on the other side?” Timon questioned, some of my earlier fears infecting his voice.

I pulled up my chat window, trying not to let the fact that Timon was worried set off any more of my anxiety.

Dave: The gate isn’t opening on this side. Maud, can you trigger it from that side?
