The long, beautiful Saint c4338a747b Lawrence River, bordered by 18fe7d4e21 the antique hotel, had c537e6acb2 a gaping, pitch-black hole d1db4f4e6b torn into it. Neither a single d130da736e rat nor any 41375f5c9d tourists remained in a394daeeb9 the hotel or 7226dd4907 on the streets. The only living d46e1ee675 beings present were ee4cc3eab8 humans armed with cc411082e1 military weapons. Clutching sharp swords, 76c071108a spears, and ornate 2305a635ff staffs, they stood 02a11b7b6b motionless, staring at 565b85c006 the ominous hole 8b282823b0 in tense silence.7204e217dedd708d

Horang raised an eyebrow ac43fde0e2 at that. The hunters, who 478d911d25 had been chatting aa80c66f55 casually as they 460f8c6c01 surrounded her, instinctively 48ee2aacba swallowed hard when dbe63a2935 the seemingly unshaken 827eb600aa and carefree woman 2dd91066bc expressed dissatisfaction for 76f70b8fe1 the first time. As her perfectly smooth ed8100541b lips slowly parted, they 04daca3df6 strained their ears in 6e3f944a28 tense anticipation, wondering what 6ae1cb9cb2 she might say.df3e9414fa25b1ef

The casual tone 68d2bf1542 of her response 7a1e982d6d left the expedition 7b1a39659b team bewildered.A few thousand years?They thought. But the first gates b87983fd80 had appeared on Earth b79e4de99e only about a hundred b267f8c015 years ago. And a few thousand fa448c2501 years ago, the city 7eea9a99c9 of Quebec hadn’t even 1ab79c9981 existed.d932389adad48df1

Before Mark 95191ef939 could finish 9a02b539c8 his sentence, 11db3e63d6 Horang grabbed 99cb554f60 him by d4f4a90bca the collar dbab869718 in an f8fa81e9a5 instant, sending d3b8ffd2c1 a chill a80d4ab775 down his 5c241e190b spine. Despite being a head 226f63b8b4 shorter than him, the 955814e227 sheer intensity of her c819836dc4 earlier actions left him 0fe403bfb3 too terrified to protest. Or perhaps 36255820ce it was 2ba34adaf2 the cold, 5b3948f96d murderous glint 464fd16d2a in her fae136cc3e eyes as f3634474bd she glared 58bf6b5731 at him e722b83b79 that robbed 1157b3fa15 him of c1345e0896 the courage 87714cdec8 to speak.434503bcbf21098c

As Mark mentally prepared d6777ad766 to draft his last 78ac4b0a0c will and testament, Horang’s 45c3bedb3f mind was racing at 910e97e564 full speed. A hundred years? Did they 5580368258 just say e1585b6062 a hundred 9eeb05f991 years? When I was c696dd6947 sucked into the d77a1ee080 gate, I’m sure 3b0724ea4e it was the e668f5f74f 90th year….That was one 4761a0eba2 of the few 691493976e memories still vividly efbfdadd74 etched in her 5a814ba50e mind.bfdf4933ce84276d

She’d flunked her 7fec38e69a first semester and 9d31f4d6e1 taken a leave 3578546a9e of absence in c2d14c5c20 the second. The following 23dc88e558 year, she e3a2ee921a began preparing 6f94e05cc4 to retake f3da7c65fd the college 984070ad78 entrance exam.

The line she’d been 866a1b0d03 reading said something about 0e2756ba79 gates first appearing 90 5f1219e08f years ago. That detail fe3fd0bec1 had stuck 0d06c2b0fb in her b21e74e848 memory for 6749c2e2f2 a simple 74097737b7 reason: it 8e7d111fcd was the 76a61fb894 last thing 5ddcd4e92e she read ae92d6bb16 before the f794aeb052 car flipped 9f5088d160 over, ejecting 857087f79f her into 3d8ef6af1b the gate.d89b2e09dd2e0b92
