...“It is clearly some sort of transdimensional containment unit.”
“What does that mean?” Mahon asked.
“It is an object that exists as one thing in our reality and something else in a different realm. It leads to a place that is attached to our plane of existence but is also outside it.”
“Like the mists of the Celtic gods,” I said.

Ah, good stuff!

“Now if we could all stop pretending to be lesser versions of ourselves, I believe this conversation will flow much easier.”

Lol! This is all so very amusing! I love this conversation at Applebee's.

Curran walked next to me. He wanted to wear sweatpants, because “they tear easier.” I asked him if he wanted me to get him some male stripper jeans so he could avoid looking like a Russian gangster from pre-Shift movies,...

Very mild spoiler ahead.

“Hi, Christopher.” I made my voice as gentle as I could. “How did you get here?”
“I walked.” Walked. The Keep was almost two hours away by vehicle. How in the world did he even find us?

So happy to see Christopher! And this definitely smells more like flying, not walking!

“It’s a wolf griffin,” I murmured. “Lion griffins come from Crete and Greece. This guy is from North Africa. They are mentioned in Berber folklore. Something about a giant bird and a wolf mating.”

Lol! I need to see this. Oh, wait! Not sure I actually want to see this! :)
