A Golden Portal

Back in Kera and its skies, Kar remained frozen, boiling with anger. Spade witnessed his features twist from their calm appearance into unsightliness. He saw the vampire shaking with fury until his fists bled into the platform. 

"Is this how you want it to be?" Kar muttered to himself through gritted teeth. "How dare you do this to my beloved followers? Who the fuck do you think you are?" 

"Master Kar, what's the problem?" asked Spade, confused. Kar was still seething before his rage vanished. His expression returned to normal before he turned to Spade. 

"They've disconnected the portals of my palace. My vampires have been wiped out of existence," the vampire commanded, his long black hair seeming to rise as he unleashed a suffocating aura. "Arthur Netherborne has appeared." 

The four words rang like thunderclaps in Spade's mind. He felt as though their death sentence had been delivered, along with their plan.
