Dimensional shifting

The Fae ability was stronger than Ruth’s, and the more portals I was closing, the better I understood them. There was a strange kind of pressure that built up; closing one of them wouldn’t close it permanently; all it did was reset the clock. I didn’t think that Ruth or the Fae were capable of closing a portal permanently, and even if they were, it was likely that the increase in pressure would just cause a rip to occur in space somewhere else.

Sending a long tentacle out, I closed a portal hanging over an alleyway, but only after sending an eye inside. The more worlds that I was able to acquire, the more options I would have when it came time to move around. I’d do some more exploring later when I had time.
