Kelly's eyes narrowed...
"Hmmm... betrayal. Well, well, well. If there is one thing I just cannot accept, that is betrayal."
"But... They'll kill me! Please......!!!!!!!! They are very bad people."
Kelly looked at the pitiful sight of him. To think she had done all this, to rescue... a traitor. "Will they torture you first?" She wondered.
Perinade looked out with a look of horror in his eyes. "They use a large corkscrew, inside.... that is how they..."
"Good." Kelly smiled at the thought of justice being done. "As bad as all of these people are, betrayal is much, much worse. I hope they use the worst, most jagged corkscrew."
She walked away, whistling jauntily, despite the pain. At the end of the corridor, from where she could still hear Perry's desperate cries for her to reconsider, was a door with a metal circle with a wave and trident symbol, exactly like the pendant, except with the relief reversed.
She placed the pendant against the circle, and a green glow surrounded the door. A strange feeling of giddiness overcame her.
She had the strange impression that she was now suddenly in a street, with dilapidated wooden houses. There was an adjacent pier and a sea that stretched to the horizon. Although sunny, the breeze carried a chill. Some of the houses had black-and-white flags with the waves and trident symbol on their front porches.
Some unusual birds, like white ravens, looked at her from the grass verge by the pavement where she lay. Beside her was a metal pole, with a circle like that on the door. This must be some kind of weird teleportation system, she thought... unless this was all a hallucination.
