《Tales of Idiots.》27. In the Portal

"Say, Lupin."
"What?"
"Your nose is as good as a dog, right?" Drake asks.
"Yeah, so what?" Lupin asks, not understanding why Drake was asking this. He then realized what Drake was getting at. "Wait a minute I could just use my nose to find those idiots," He said.
"Yep," Drake agreed, nodding. "So, do you need something that their scent on it so you can sniff out a trail of where they?" Drake said, amused, and holding out Basil's warhammer out for Lupin to sniff.
"Of course, I don't need it, I know what Lester and Basil smell like! After all, I have been with those two for years!" Lupin yells.
...
...
...
After a few minutes of silence, Lupin took the warhammer off Drake's hands and sniff it. He then held his head up, eyes closed, sniffing the air, a while later, Lupin opens his eyes, and points in a direction.
"Their scents are pointing toward this way," Lupin said. He then notices that Drake was giving him a look. "What?" He asks.
"...Nevermind," Drake responds, shaking his head. He turns toward Peter and Cyan and began yelling for them to meet up with them.
"Say...How the hell are you are carrying Basil's warhammer. We both know that it is heavy as fuck," Lupin asks.
Drake just put his sleeves, revealing an armband made from a type of metal.
Lupin's eyebrows rose. "An artifacts of strength?" He whispers. Drake nods, answering Lupin's question.
"What is it, Drake?" Peter asks, brushing dust off his clothes. Cyan was panting as he ran from the other side of the graveyard and the graveyard was huge.
"...Yeah...What...Peter...Said," Cyan said.
"Lupin found a trail by using his nose," Drake said.

"Oh yeah, why didn't we think of that?" Cyan asks. This caused some reactions in everyone.
Peter was deep in thought, Drake just looks at the sky, his posture slouch, and Lupin was muttering about something. Lupin fake cough, catching everyone's attention.
"Can we just go?" Lupin asks. Drake and Cyan shrug, and Peter nod.
They follow Lupin as he sniffs the ground and air, leading them toward the walls that surround the town. There was a hole under the wall that led to the outside.
"Why the hell is there a hole here?" Cyan as they stop before the hole.
No one answers Cyan's question as Peter crouch and began crawling into the hole, and went outside of the wall.
"Hey, get over here! There's a magic circle here!" Peter shouts from outside of the walls.
Hearing this, the other three toward through the hole, with Lupin having made the hole bigger to crawl through it.
Brushing dirt off his clothes, Lupin joins the others in the circle, looking at the magic circle that Peter had found. The magic circle was neatly drawn, with the symbol of a crow in the middle.
"They definitely went through this magic circle," Lupin said, bending down to examine the magic circle. "Because the trail stop here right here."
"I see...I see...," Peter mutter. He turns to look at the three. "Does any of you guys know how to use magic? Because I don't."
Cyan raises his hand. "I can," He said.
Peter took a look at Cyan before motioning him to put his hands on the circle. Cyan put his hands on the magic circle as Peter motions for him to do.
"Do you know what to do?" Peter asks.
"I know what to do, I been taught mostly everything about magic," Cyan respond. He concentrates and began to pour mana into the magic circle. When he does this, the circle began to glow.

Peter called for Drake and Lupin to step into the circle to which they did so. The four were covered by a blinding light produced by the magic circle. When the light disappeared, they weren't anywhere to be seen.
*Somewhere*
Lupin fell to the floor and began vomiting his lunch out.
Drake looks at him with disgust as he did so. "Let me guess, teleporting overwhelmed your senses," Drake said as he helps Lupin up.
"Yep, and I will never step through a magic circle again," Lupin said. He always pukes his guts out whenever he rides in any cars that went too fast, boats, rollercoasters and he blamed it on his beastmen's heritage giving him senses that were greater than an average human.
Although, Drake had never seen any other beastmen that reacts the same as Lupin when it comes to things like this, though he didn't say anything about it.
"You guys get ready. We have guards coming our ways."
Hearing this, Drake drop the warhammer, readying his rifle, checking to see if it was loaded. Lupin put on Chad and began loading Betty. Cyan pulls out his pistols, and Peter pulls out a handgun.
One guard rushed to the room that they were in and was shot in the head by Peter the moment he stepped into the room. The other three look at Peter, surprises with Cyan, pale at the sight of someone began killed in front of him.
"So, we're killing?" Lupin asks, the calmest of the three.
"Yes, we're most likely gonna be killing most of the people that are in here," Peter bluntly said.
"What do you mean—"
Peter ignored the question as he walks forward, outside of the room, and soon, sounds of bullets being fired can be heard.
"Welp...Let's go, you don't have to kill if you want," Lupin said as he steps forward with Drake following him, leaving Cyan by himself.
Cyan, not wanting to be alone, follows them, skin pale and a feeling of wanting to vomit.
"What did I get myself into?"
