Chapter 281

• "Well, here's to a brave new world..." Ajax muttered as he stepped through the portal with Rose.
• They emerged in the middle of a town that Ajax figured had to be in New England or maybe in the Great Lakes region. Possibly even as far west as Minnesota. Either way, it didn't matter. This was going to be his new home. Jargarak was already leading them past the town hall, where two men who looked like brothers were conversing at, and towards a patch of woods with a path that led down to the huge mountain lake that dominated the view to the north. It was quite beautiful and he could see his Minotaur brethren were taken in by the view.
• He caught sight of Bane, who'd paused with his vampire woman. The sight of her leaning up against him lovingly as he had his arm protectively draped over her shoulders warmed Ajax's heart. He moved over to them. "Are you crying?" Ajax noted.
