((Waiting for your post, Iris, 'cause Zak's the last to go thru)) ----- Zakiyah shrugged at Iris's question. "Cole wants to try to slip past the guards and ride to Macula, but I'm not sure he has much of a plan.

She looks impatiently at Night Steel, who was consulting the eye again. "You can either go through now and deal with what you find, or you can stay here! I can't leave the portal open any longer- I have to get back to Yarfell. Perhaps I can help things there- at least they cannot accuse me of lying! I will explain what happened, if they will listen."
