Persia woke up slowly, hearing her cousin's voice nearby.
"Chris?" She asked, regretting it as she did so. Her throat was so dry it hurt to breathe.
"Here Persia." He said, leaning over her.
He helped her drink some water, before adding dryly. "Wherever here is."
Persia lay back down and went to sleep. Her body hadn't adapted to all of the things that had changed, power wise or knowledge wise. She hadn't even adapted to the skills Morgan had given her.
Chris watched her worriedly, casting his mind around the area. He could hear muffled whispers, but that was all. He couldn't make out all of the words. Occasionally he caught the words 'children', 'demons', or 'witches', but nothing else.
He decided to find out for himself where he and his best friend had landed.
He crept out of the cave like dwelling they had found them selves in. and realised where they were.
The Underworld.
He slipped behind a rock and observed his surroundings, and everything that was going on.
He soon realised that it wasn't quite the underworld he had known about. For one thing, he had never heard of demon day-care, or whitelighter children. He shook his head in frustration, and decided to let down his walls so he could find out what was going on.
That turned out to be a mistake.
The thoughts of all the children/people in the cave hit him like a brick, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
In seconds, he was cornered.
"Well well, who do we have here?" One male whitelighter sneered.
A female demon smiled at him, kindly. "Oh, shove off Cedric, the boy isn't from around here. I doubt he is even from our dimension." Turning to Chris, she ordered him to put his walls back up.
Chris managed to do so, and collapsed in relief.
The demon lady knelt down. "My name is Evangeline. What's yours?"
Chris looked at her. She was dressed like the first seer his mother had met, and she had long, flowing hair down to her waist. Her eyes were so dark they were almost black, and she looked like she was of Asian descent.
"Chris." He answered, before orbing to his cousin. He left a magic trail for them to follow.
When Evangeline came into the cave she gasped in horror at the state the two children were in. She hadn't been able to see Chris properly when he was boxed into the corner, but now she could clearly see he was barely holding onto consciousness.
Chris smiled grimly. "This is my friend Persia."
Then he passed out.
