”Save some amazement for later! The best part awaits beyond.” His excitement overflowed.

”What? We shouldn't go any farther. I have a bad feeling about this,” Luna protested with a stoic look on her face and crossing her arms, which worried the man on the scene a bit. His type was not known for listening to the voice of reason, trusting a witch's intuition, or using a little bit of logic; whichever was causing her to be against his idea got lost in the masculine brain. He abandoned the car.

”Come on, don't be stubborn. I need you to pull a lever.”

”Why does it have a working mechanism to open it? If someone took the time to build such a huge gate, why not seal it?” Aware that she was not hard to convince, she presented reasonable arguments to end the discussion as soon as possible. Those raw, primal feelings that strongly advised against an action usually got ignored for the sake of peace.

”It'll be fine. You think too much.”

”You don't think enough,” she replied, also leaving the vehicle but staying close to it.

”My partners and I come here all the time. Every gift came from this place. Are you going to be scared now, with our house hiding a technology galore?”

 

”It's not ghosts I'm afraid of.”

The partner grasped her shoulders, her figure looming above him. ”Trust me. I wouldn't have brought you here if we weren't sure about its safety,” he pleaded to her ordinary expression.

Luna took a quick look at the enigmatic vicinity before giving her response.

”Maybe it was never safe, they were waiting for the right opportunity to strike.” The man swung his arms around dramatically while walking to one of the levers. He then released a loud sigh in hopes that the air vibrations would break Luna's resistance. ”Correct me if I'm wrong.”
