"Hmm, freaky."<br/>Alexander pointed to the blood smears around the portal, "Those aren't random, looks like there's a pattern.  Not sure if I'm bang on, but some of those looks like Arabic words, ancient Arabic I think.  I'm also getting bad mojo from the portal itself: it's one of those 'need a blood' type, and it's Yazata blood that's the magic key."<br/><br/>Heading closer to the portal, Alexander examined it more closely, "Also getting the feeling that a lot of things have been moving through, lots of traffic. And there's this aura to the portal, something hot and dark that doesn't seem to jive with the rest of the gate."
