Youād think that meeting a dog made of stars and an old friend of my parents would prepare me for anything. But I still gape when the glowing, nebulous portal appears. Auburn and purple swirl together in a maelstrom of color suspended in the air.
Major turns, hand at his wristwatchāwhich somehow conjured that⦠thingāand lifts his eyebrows. āNever seen a portal, Kieffer?ā
Closing my mouth before I make too much of a fool of myself, I hope my shrug looks casual. āI just assumed weād be taking a ship.ā
