Shadows of the Nexus [Open]

[Ash Williams]

"Well, here's the gate to the Pale Moors," Ash spoke while they pulled up to the gateway of the Pale Moors.

Maya blinked a couple of times while she gazed at the grey stone and dark moss-covered structure that had a swirling portal in the middle. This was the first time that the Helghast spy saw a verse gateway. She stared at it for a minute then looked back at Ash who turned the car off when they parked the vehicle about a couple hundred feet away from the gate. Both opened the doors and shut behind themselves after getting out of the Oldsmobile. Ash looked upon the portal to the gloomy verse as they walked and stopped at the front of the old car. The deadite killer stretched his limbs from driving for a while. Maya still stared at the gateway and thought this was a crazy way to travel to other places.

"I know what you're thinking and yeah I had second thoughts about touching portals around here when I first arrived. Don't worry, you'll get a weird feeling after leaving the portal for your first time. I got used to it after a couple of times." Ash said, breaking the silence between them which grabbed the hooded Helghast hybrid woman's attention.

The Darkshire defender stepped forward to the gate but Maya didn't move and was concerned about going. He realized she wasn't following along and turned back to her with a question.

"What's wrong? You aren't afraid, are you?" Ash wondered why the secondary stood there with hesitation.

"I think… it's best to find Lucas first before I venture out to an unknown place. Is that ok?" Maya questioned her choice and hoped he wouldn't be offended.

"Yeah, that doesn't bother me, but I really must get back to Darkshire. I'll summon something for you to travel fast, here." Ash agreed with and focused on his omnilium for her transportation.

A motorcycle seamed it would be a perfect fit for her if she knew how to drive one. After a couple of seconds, a modern blue sports motorcycle appeared in front of Maya.

"You know how to drive a motorcycle?" Ash questioned with concern on his face about her driving abilities.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Maya responded while getting on the motorcycle with confidence.

"Groovy, well I'm going to leave now, and it was nice to at least meet someone in the Nexus," Ash said with a charisma smile while leaving to the portal.

They wave goodbye to each other before Ash entered the gateway. After the evil dead slayer left, his Oldsmobile disappeared and Maya sped on the motorcycle, away from the gateway to go find where Lucas would be in the Omniverse.
