“Actually, I meant for Max to help tomorrow afternoon, if he so desires, as for now I shall bid you all a good evening and depart. There are plenty of small fry that need slaying; it should be a long and pleasurable night.” He looked to the guard with a question in his eyes.

“They haven’t moved on yet, I can’t open the gate until they do,” he paused, “Sorry.”

Saber sighed, as Cathy prepared to leave he turned to her and Tyler, he bent down and drew a small seal on the ground, a bright light hiding the floor as something grew from it. Soon a small candle with a very large wick in the shape of a boat replaced the light. He held it out to Tyler and Cathy. “Do me a favor please and light this in Lucas’s honor, if there is a place it can be set to float that would be preferable.” He saw the guards look of inquiry and decided he could spare an explanation, “These lights are used by our race to show the next stage of the journey for our departed. I feel it would only be respectful to light one for the fallen here as well. Unfortunately I really must be off.”

“But you can’t” the guard was cut off by a small spark from saber that hit the Gate Controls. The door slowly opened with a loud creaking to show the dark and barren rocks beyond. The moment it opened enough for him to leave Saber stepped through. A Small red demon just like those before turned to see the opening gate and reared its head back to howl. Saber couldn’t allow that and so he moved by grabbing the combat knife on the guards hip and flinging it into the demon’s throat to silence it. “Would have taken me too long to draw my blade anyway, I’ll get it back to you.” he said and patted the man on the back. As he left the system he drew his blade, this time with an extra long hilt making it nearly a halberd. He zapped the gate as he left and looked back as it closed, “I’ve work to do so I bid you all a good evening.” He said as he headed over to the demon that clawed at its throat.
