Chapter 6-Still Time for Christmas
The fight seemed as though it had lasted forever, but it had only been a few hours at best. It was still Christmas eve, and all of them had the chance to return home and enjoy Christmas with family and friends.
'Well my friends, it's been one hell of a ride.', Dean said, laughing heartily. All of them laughed for a while, not really knowing the reason why, only that it felt pretty darned good to aleviate the stress and tension with some levity.
'I can provide a portal for all of us to return. Sam, Dean, you might wanna buckle up. It may be a little bumpy getting you back to Nebraska.', Harry stated. Zed kissed him on the cheek.
'That's for saving our asses back there. You're a pretty damned good wizard.', she said. Harry felt his cheeks flush and cleared his throat.
'You're welcome. Just doing my chivalric duty.', Harry said. Focusing on all the details he had heard in the bar before, Harry raised his staff and the ancient runes began to glow and flicker. Magic, ethereal energy surrounded all of them and portals appeared in different directions, speeding them all home.
'Merry Christmas, everyone !', he said, lowering his staff and ascending toward the portal of his own making.
'Merry Christmas.', each of them said at their own inclination. Before they knew it, each of them were being sent home, right at the moment Christmas had begun. All of them said a little prayer of gratitude that no one had been hurt and the world could continue celebrating in complete ignorance that there was such a creature as Krampus.
