Sam shook off the unnecessary thoughts—he had to stay alert. He could not let the person coming to get him close the waygate—he had to use the waygate to instantly go back. Sam charged his body with the little lightning that was still stored in it, standing a meter from the blue portal. The second he saw the shadow of two figures, Sam rushed in at top speed, grabbing the two and pulling them back inside the waygate with him.
His vision blurred, and a second later he came out on the other side. This place, too, was full of light. Sam was breathing hard, and the two other figures beside him were also breathing hard. When Sam's eyes finally adjusted to the bright light—
"Fuck! No! No! NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"
Sam screamed, cursing Shadecaster and the Demon Lord from the bottom of his heart until his voice was hoarse and he was out of breath.
