"Jade finished him off," said Chaos. "Some kind of curse, or something. I dunno, I was dead at the time."
"Chaos," said Zephyr, emerging from the portal. "Bad news."
"There's not enough beer at ShadowBinder Central?" asked Chaos.
"Worse," said Zephyr. "There's some kind of barrier protecting the entrance. It only allows creatures whose hearts are tainted by darkness to enter. And it prevents any humans from entering."
"I want to take a look at this barrier of yours," said Chaos. "C'mon guys, the ShadowBinders aren't going to beat themselves up."
Chaos and Zephyr led the others through the portal, where they stood before the Palace of ShadowBinders. A semi-transparent wall of darkness blocked the way.
"There," said Zephyr. "I can't get through. Watch."
Zephyr walked at the barrier, but simply collided with it.
"So if what you say is true..." began Chaos, walking towards it. "This should work."
He walked straight through the barrier.
