Zaira’s flight had led her to the nearby Gate. Each Gate led to the Underworld and was guarded to keep unwelcome visitors out. This one was near pitch black, but with a single point of light where it ended. Zaira suspected it was one of those gates that would haunt you with terrible visions if it wanted to keep you out. She had no trouble going through it. As long as you did not wish harm on the denizens or wanted to see your dead relatives, you were usually let through. From there you could visit the Underworld gods, or you could take another Gate.
