Kain looked out and watched the old gray city. It was a large city yet so little life moved through it hardly any people could be seen walking in the streets and even fewer cars could be found. Turning around he faced the eight people in the room with him. Three of them acted like they had no care in the world. The others looked somber not saying a word these eight where both his colleagues and his closest friends.

Immortality is easier when you have a few friends to spend it with. With a sigh Kain stepped closer to the group of his friends nodding to the closest one he spoke "alright it is time, we need to leave by sunset"

Hearing what Kain had said the three that had been talking got as quiet as the others, the closest one man to him stood up and spoke in a gruff voice "alright Kain we are ready I think we should leave as soon as possible"

Looking at the man he was a few inches taller than himself with a strong build. "Right Mandel you take your group through first, my group will come after you" the tall man in front of him nodded and waived two people two follow him from the group three walked out of the room silently

Looking back to the group he spoke"Ra, Talon come with me we should check the storage spaces before we leave"

Ra was just slightly shorter than Kain he also had a little lighter build he had blonde hair with eyes colored silver glaring at Kain he spoke annoyed "you know I don't like you calling me Ra"

"Man thought you would have gotten used to it by now" Kain replied. Of course Ra wasn't his real name but none of use wanted to try and pronounce his actual name and Ra suited him better we called him that because a few Millennium ago he managed to convince some ancient Egyptians he was some kind of god he had only gone to a small town but they ended up making it a very big deal. So after that we started calling him the name that the egyptions had given him.

Mumbling the two stood up and followed him out they walked down the marble halls and came to a set of bedrooms "alright you two store anything you might need when we get there but remember no advanced technology this race is not ready for that yet"

Nodding the two unlocked the doors to their rooms and stepped in. After they had shut the doors Kain turned to his own room Stepping in he closed the door behind looking around the near empty room the only light coming from the large window on the opposite wall. Grabbing his ingredients bag and the sword that Talon had given to him when they met it had some very old Greek magic in it with more spells in it than he can count. Holding both of these objects in the air his hands got a small glow and the bag and sword disappeared from existence.

Nodding at their disappearance he turned around and stepped back into the hall where the other two already having done with what they needed to do are waiting for him. Raising an eyebrow at them "you two ready?" nodding to him the three started back down the empty hall again this time they went to the stairs. Not as sound was heard except for the sounds of there footsteps on the stone stairs as they descended into the basement

Reaching the bottom of the stairs the three approached an intricate pattern carved into the stone on the ground Kain could feel the extra energy in the room from the last time it was used he drew some of the energy into himself.

As Kain walked to the correct position on the spell his two partners did the same. Once all three of them where in there correct places he began to pour raw energy into the spell around him. The etchings in the stone around him glowed slightly as his friends did the same and had started pouring in there energy. Soon the spell had been fully charged and was ready for them to transport. He keeping his eyes closed he spoke "the spell is charged I am ready"

First Ra spoke "i am ready as well"

After a second of hesitation Talon spoke "ready"

At this Kain reached out and proceeded to fully activate the spell. All three of them gasped as sudden raw and seemingly boundless magic flowed through them. The kind of power that he could only dream of and even then it seemed more than that joy filled him he felt more alive than he had ever felt in his long life but soon it over whelmed him and he fell unconscious with nothing but a dark dreamless sleep to follow.

Ric had been at the top of the stairs and watched as Kain vanished in a bright flash. Sighing he found he could no longer feel there life forces they where no longer connected. But that would soon change once he went through he would be reconnected. he once more Looked back on the world he was about to leave in favor of some alien world where equine beings where the dominate species.

He had spent nearly three-millennium with these friends watching the human race grow in numbers and in power. He shook his head it wasn't what he was leaving behind that bothered him. He actually hated the world as it currently is so much violence and chaos no the thing that worried him is the fact that he could feel the magic left in the earth, there was almost nothing left.

He knew that once he left he would take whats left of that magic with him ensuring that earth would never be able to have magic again. snapped out of his thoughts by one of his partners , raze asking him if he was ready getting one last look at his world he sighed and responded "yes lets go"
