It was a horrific sight, unlike anything he had ever witnessed happening before. The aftermath not quite as gory as seeing his wife with blood pouring from her body, but he hadn't witnessed her murder, only head the gunshots. This was something quite different, Leara had launched the spear, and it had found its mark well. David assumed the creature dead, any normal person he knew would most assuredly be so. Yet Leara seemed rather panicked as if the beast was not dead.<br/><br/>Her words helped bring him back to reality. To say he was disappointed by what she told him would be an understatement. He was looking forward to wielding that kind of power, but not all hope was lost. There was still of course the chance that he could wield power that would prevent things like that from ever happening again. He remembered that Leara told him she could not teach him those things, but she definitely knew how to fight, perhaps she could at least teach him that.<br/><br/>As David nodded and led the way toward his vehicle, a Ford Explorer, he wondered in part why the supposed good guys had sent a mere warrior and the dark side had sent someone who could teach him so much. Though David knew that dwelling too much on things he didn't fully understand would just lead to confusion. Considering all things he didn't feel like asking Leara, she was a warrior at heart, not one who was sharp with the tongue, and her strong appearance scared him some. She was not soft and nurturing like other women that had graced his presence before.<br/><br/>Once they got to his vehicle he figured she had no idea how to enter,<b>"just pull the handle on the door, it will open up,"</b>David said hastily as he tapped the unlock button twice from the key remote. Once he was in, and Leara was as well, David put his rig in reverse, not knowing where the shadowy monster was, but he also didn't care. He sped off, headed in the direction she of the petrified statues that she had spoken of. They weren't too far away, maybe a five or ten minute drive as he pegged the gas pedal down, the speedometer rapidly approaching seventy miles per hour, which was fast enough on the current road they were traveling.<br/><br/><b>"That was quite the spear toss Xena Warrior Princess."</b>He said in reference to an old television show, one he figured she wouldn't understand, the reference likely lost, but he didn't care. Whatever berating she would give him about calling her the wrong name didn't matter to him. David was trying to lighten the mood slightly, kill the obvious tension as his adrenaline was still flowing full boar. When he did finally reach the spot she spoke of, he saw the portal, it was odd to say the least, but he drove through it, and as he did so he passed out, something shut his body down. In the process there was also an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) that shut his Ford Explorer down as well.<br/>
