Days had passed, and Aurora was surprised she had not received any calls from those federal agents who questioned her. Especially since her mind hadn't grown distant from the elf that had questioned her. More like Montehugh but Kandomere had left a lasting impression.

"Kandomere," she whispered spotting her phone on the couch. She knew that even thinking of him was futile. He was a elf of high status by presentation of just what he wore. He would never look at her as she could look at him.

It almost pained Aurora sometimes. Knowing that she could never be with someone who saw her as an equal. She quickly shook her head wiping the thoughts from her mind. Grabbing her phone she noticed two missed calls titled unknown.

She had just recently come back into the city and people apparently could not have waited for her arrival. No matter to her, she had an old friend to catch up with. Heading out her apartment, she walked down two flights leading her to the front door of her building. Opening it, she was basked with L.A.'s warm air. It was something she had missed. In New York it was either freezing, or unbearably hot. Could never be an in between.

Unlocking her car she walked to the drivers side starting it and waiting for it warm up. While she sat looking at her window her phone rang and she quickly picked it up.

"Hello."

"Hey Aurora. Great time with your last client. He gave a very... generous bonus to you for your work. What are you gonna do with the money?" Aurora rolled her eyes remembering that night. She was already pissed at the interrogation that had happened earlier and one human got too close which sent him flying to the other side of the club. She could even specifically remembering the elf bartender sending insults her way for the mess. Luckily her client is way too into her for his own good and offered to pay the damages.

"Ah, I don't know. I could just unlock the elven in me and start shopping until there is nothing left, but I'll leave that to the soulless."

"Ouch to the elves out there. They would so take pride in that comment. Well, the first half."

"I don't give a damn what half they like as long at they stay out of my way. Text me details of our next client. I need to go James."

"Alright, see you."

Aurora hung up as she started driving down the street. Nothing has really changed and as far as she knew, the orc territories have been untouched which was great to hear because she didn't want to incite any beef just for driving over a piece of dirt.

Aurora parked her car right next to her favorite graffiti in all of L.A. She remembered seeing it for the first time as a kid staring at it not understanding it's meaning. Why people were so angry at each other when they were all the same. Just lost and looking for hope.

Fogteeth territory if she could vaguely recall. Entering the gated area she was immediately sent looks by nearby orcs in her vicinity. They looked warily at her and she kept quick footing trying to avoid any confrontation. Soon enough she saw that huge dark church she remembered oh so vividly. Unluckily, it was guarded by about five huge orcs. Warrior type with at least a six foot build and an unreasonable attitude. She had to try anyway.

"Hey elf. I think you might've lost your way. The way back to the city is that way." They pointed at the skyline and Aurora rolled her eyes at the remark.

"I'm here to see an old friend of mine Dorghu. I see he has new lackey's, so you guys won't know me." They looked at each other faces scrunched in confusion.

"Dorghu isn't expecting any visitors today lady. I say it's best you keep it moving before you regret it." Aurora raised an eyebrow laughing at the orcs taking a step closer to the group.

"I think it'd be best if you step out my way," she smirked pausing. "Or you're gonna tell Dorghu that a little elf named Aurora broke your fucking arm." The main one roared in anger ready to attack until a voice boomed across the front of the church.

"What is the problem Zeal?" A large orc almost seven feet stood at the top step wearing a leather jacket with dark jeans with a contorted look on his face covered with anger. Soon that anger turned into wide eyes filled with surprise.

"Some elf filth is asking for you. Says she's an old friend." Aurora looked up at him arms crossed and a soft smile fell on her lips.

"Let her through." They reluctantly parted letting Aurora through. She followed Dorghu into the church and saw everything was the same. The tree covered with lights, orcs stationed in corners with weapons, and even one orc covered in ritual garb praying near the tree. That same endless pit lay menacingly in front of a throne.

"So, the princess has finally come back to reclaim her kingdom. Or, has she finally come to apologize just for leaving any never saying good bye?" Dorghu laughed angrily his fake smile hurting his face.

"Dorghu-"

"No, maybe she's finally going to tell me what ran her out this city like nothing I've ever seen. No, lemme guess," he clapped his hands together leaning back against his throne.

"She comes back because she needs something. Aurora, you were one of my first friends in L.A. You believed in my like no one else would. You built this with me... and then, you just decide to leave."

"Dorghu-"

"No let me finish! Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now."

"Because you love me and you'd never let anything happen to me. Now, if you're done I'd like to catch up and apologize for leaving. I could just leave and act like everything we've been through meant nothing." Dorghu looked angry placing his hand near his mouth leaning back in his chair. "I'm sorry I had to leave okay? I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm sorry I never kept in contact and I'm sorry that I left to this by yourself." Aurora looked around and back at Dorghu. "You seem to be doing fine just by yourself. You never needed me." She walked up to him pulling on his hand up to his feet. "Now King to princess, can we actually talk like friends?"

Dorghu looked thoughtfully into her eyes and flung his arms around Aurora squeezing tightly cause her to gasp. "I've really missed you. Now let's talk." She smiled widely and thats where she told him everything.

"Well, shit." Dorghu didn't know what to say. It was much to take in and unbearingly a large burden for his friend.

"Do you understand? Leilah made me into this. If the feds find out who I am, they'll kill me." Dorghu looked down hands against his chest pondering in thought.

"This prophecy shit is really happening Aurora. If I were the feds, I'd kill you. If I were I were the Inferni-"

"Yeah Dorghu I get it. I'm fucked any way I go. I was thinking of contacting the Shield of Light. They might be the only ones who can help me, but the feds are watching my every move. Inferni are currently dispersed and broken. There are loose ends that need tying up and staying in New York was only going to get my family included in this mess. They don't need to be in occult psychotic elf business." They both laughed warming the room only for a bit. Aurora's phone went off at the moment causing her to sigh in annoyance. It said unknown caller making her pick up quickly.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"This is Kandomere. We had a chance to talk a couple of days ago if I do recall. We got some results on your information. I'd like to thank you for your cooperation." Aurora laid a hand on her hip biting her lip. She couldn't believe it. He had been the one calling her. So many things to say flooded to her mind and her mouth felt dry. Something did spit out though.

"Cool." Aurora mentally smacked herself realizing how stupid of a reply that was. "I mean yeah that's great. I would rather just not be involved is all."

"I was wondering if there was anything else you would like to let slip out in, discretion." Aurora really didn't want to letting Inferni know that someone was leaking information to them. She wanted to stay incognito as long as possible.

"I'm not sure-"

"Listen, it's fine. You don't have to let me know anything else. If you do change you're mind you have my number now. Know that I'm not you're enemy."

"Okay. Thank you." Aurora hung up. Putting the phone to her lips. Aurora was always doubtful. This was too good to be true. He wanted her to text him? For business purposes of course but still. She felt like he was playing some sort of game.

"Who was that?" Dorghu questioned making Aurora quickly turn around.

"No one important. Now, will you help me or not?" Dorghu walked up to her placed his fist on his chest hitting hit harshly.

"What do you need?"
