Dabbling With Magic

Sorry short chapter, still getting into fanfic writing.

Skulduggery shakily stood up, and dusted himself off. Valkyrie groaned and sat up, nursing her head in her hands. "What happened?" she groaned. "Well, when the energy knocked me into the wall the first time, the lights on the statue became dimmer." Skulduggery replied. "So the statue was gathering magical energy to power magic defenses?" Valkyrie asked. "Yes. But the real question is, what is it defending?" Just then, the engraved circle on the statue's chest lit up in a blue, swirling light. "Its a portal" Valkyrie whispered. And then they turned to run, as the figure that had stepped through was terrifying.

Mevolent had returned.
