[center][h3][color=yellow] A few days before [/color][/h3][/center] Ashe looked at the invitation and the card with wonder. On one hand, she could keep the card and continue as before. Her newfound ability would be more than enough to keep her safe from whatever creatures and hunters this benefactor talked about. On the other hand, what if she couldn’t escape or defeat them? She read and saw a lot of movies to know that at one point or the other, the protagonist always finds themselves outnumbered or outclassed. Not that she believed that she’s a protagonist but it was the closest thing to her current situation. Taking one last puff of her cigarette, Ashe shook her head. What would be the worst that could happen? She arrives there, someone tries to rape her and she teleports their dicks in China or she gets there and learns more about her ability and how to better control it. The benefits outweigh the risks after all. [center][h3][color=yellow] Today [/color][/h3][/center] As the taxi dropped her off about a kilometre away from the mansion, as per Ashe’s instructions, Ashe paid the driver and watched as the car went away. She could be called a lot of things but dumb wasn’t one of them. Ashe approached the mansion on foot, occasionally taking out her binoculars and scouting up the place as she got closer. If this was a rape game or something like that, she won’t be taken down easily. Broken trees, outgrown garden, mansion looking like it is about to collapse. For someone who had the money and means to throw around, this benefactor was not taking care of his place of residence. Unless, of course, it was all a ruse to keep people in the dark. Who’d even suspect a place like this would hold, potentially, a bunch of magicians? She watched as a few cars parked in the driveway and people came out of them. Maybe others who received the same invitation or maybe the benefactor’s henchmen. Eventually, after a few more minutes of checking the surroundings and not spotting any trap, Ashe took a deep breath to ground herself, she moved her hand in a circular motion while concentrating on a place between the potential magicians and then a [url=https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/magical-portal-green-forest-mountains-229930426.jpg] portal [/url] opened in front of her. Stepping through the portal, Ashe took a cigarette out and lit it up as she got on the other side. Releasing a thick smoke around her as she appeared between the gathered people. “[color=gold] Either you all can do some magical mambo-jambo or I got the wrong mansion and you clearly didn’t see me appear out of a clearly not-magical portal and this is all an elaborate prank on national TV.
