At Iscarat’s we made a very common mistake. The family that lived in the apartment that also led to Iscarat’s personal dimension was currently blocking the door. To be honest I wasn’t sure whether it was another dimension or not but that’s what I’m going to refer to it as. The family had smoked out their home with a chimney sweep gone wrong. Usually one would have to wait for the door to be closed to meet with Iscarat but we couldn’t wait, lest we face the wrath of Mama Louise

“Well, what now?” Elysif asked me as we stood around the corner.

“... I could try something with my knife?” I pondered while stroking the hairs of my chin which I realized was starting to become a little too long for my taste.

“Great Idea! Let’s just murder the innocent family so we don’t miss a party. Genius plan Agent.'' The amount of snarky sarcasm she spewed with that statement was enough to make me want to use the knife on her. But you know, pride and decorum right.

“No… I’m going to use my knife to shut the door. We then run up and hopefully get the door opened to Iscarat’s before they open it up.”

“That’s, not a bad idea… but what happens if they open the door while we have the door opened to Iscarat’s place?”

“I don’t know and I don’t care. Iscarat probably has something to make sure that doesn’t happen.” I was not too sure about that last statement.

“Fair enough.”

So pulling the knife from its sheath I threw it at the door while increasing its speed and force with magic. The blade stuck into the wood and yanking my hand towards me like the knife was attached to an invisible rope I pulled the door shut. As soon as it was shut Elysif and I bolted towards the door. I held the door closed as Elysif fumbled with the key trying to get it in the hole. We could hear the family on the other side and one of them was walking towards the door. “Hurry!” I whispered as Elysif got the key in and gave me a death glare. I released my grip on the door and gave it a knock.

After a few short moments, we heard the sound of ten or twelve locks being opened. The man was surprisingly overcautious. The door swung open and there stood Iscarat Put but far younger. He looked like he was around thirty, I even questioned whether it was Iscarat or not until he spoke. “What are you doing here?” he asked in his scratchy pubescent voice.

“Scott forgot to invite you as an honored guest to a banquet hosted by Mama Louise and we’re here to get you.” I said.

“I’ll be ready in a moment but why am I an honored guest? I don’t remember doing anything for her.”

“She believes you helped Scott and me with something and as such want you as well, either that or Scott convinced her to let him bring some people so he wouldn’t be alone with that woman.”

“What do you mean alone? Weren’t you going with him?”

“I didn’t even know about it until today, so I assume no.”

“Alright just let me shut the door.”

“”No!”” Elysif and I both said to stop him.

“You can’t shut the door or we will be here for hours old man.” Elysif stated.

“I understand, but who are you calling an old man?”

“”You.”” we both said with a very monotone voice.

“I have created a spell that temporarily reverts me back to my younger years. I'll have you know.”

“I don’t think you realize that the keyword there is temporarily, old man.” Elysif said in her usual snarky attitude.

“You have a death wish or something, witch?” Iscarat yelled

“Would you rather me call you a eunuch?” She asked, now egging him on.

“Guys, can we go now? We'll all be dead if we don’t please Mama Louise.” the two looked at each other then turned away. Iscarat walked inside and started changing. Within ten minutes we were finally leaving.
