94 Reunion

The city ahead of them seemed to come alive as small dots that marked its inhabitants began to rush back and forth. The large, black stone gates slowly crept open. Kace's eyes went wide as he watched the procession of a large number of figures exciting the city.

"Raven, what do you mean she knows about our arrival? How could she know and more importantly, how do you know about it?" Kace asked with a curious tone. 

"She gave me a locket all those years ago. I've always kept it with me. Since I'd never run into vampires since then, I'd forgotten all about its effects." Raven began while removing it from his pocket. "It's enchanted so that its bearer is recognised as having the queens protection. Essentially it gives me safe passage."

"Well, that's great then!" Kace replied as he watched the dark mass of figures turn in their direction. "Hopefully we can get some proper rest."
