“Good,” Raven says,
“I've had more than enough of this place to last several
lifetimes.”
“Come, come now
Corvus,” the Angel smirks, “You know you've secretly enjoyed your
stay with us.”
Before Raven can reply
Tom glitters red and gold. “There are,” he says, “Unfortunately,
some conditions to how you each return to the Warp.”
“Conditions?” Raven
asks, “What kind of conditions?”
“You must each go
back,” Tom replies, “Via the route you came in. Retrace your
first steps, if you get my meaning.”
“Oh dear,” says
Fiona, “I'm not sure that will be possible for me. I may have
upset someone powerful when I first got here.”
“Think nothing of
it,” says the Author, suddenly stepping out of the shadows, “All
previous misdemeanour's are forgiven.”
