Pluto moved where she was told, folding her arms. Honestly, she was ready to get back home, even if it meant she would probably be listening to Michael's griping over her leaving for so long

Mike took up his position also, nicking his thumb with his knife and offering it to Blake. Blake took a single drop of blood, which hovered in midair above his hand with the other items.
"Do not move or speak for ten seconds," Blake said, and closed his eyes, concentrating. After a few heartbeats, his started to glow. When he opened his eyes again, they looked like twin stars shining from his face. He held up the feather, blood, and flame, and they dissolved into a ball of white light that emitted a high-pitched singing noise, like a crystal bell. Then, all light and sound vanished, and Blake was left holding what looked like a small black-and-white pill.

Pluto scowled. "Wow. Also anticlimactic."

"My humblest apologies for not putting on a show like some cheap street performer." Blake pocketed the pill, looking pleased with himself. "I think I'll save this for later, I want to see the look on Lady Ennienwin's face when she realizes I've returned. Thank-you, that's all I needed you lot for. Can I offer you any favors in return for your services? A lift somewhere, perhaps?"

"Actually, I have to meet somebody soon," Asura said, stepping forward. "It's a place that's hard for me to get to. Have you heard of the Spires?"

"Hmmm. Only by reputation. Do you have the dimensional coordinates?"

"It's just outside of Molhaven. From what I understand, it's about 10 miles from the Court of the Underworld," Pluto said. She turned to look at Asura, a questioning frown on her face. "That place is dangerous. A lot of gods wouldn't dare go there. So why do you want to?"

"Unfinished business," he said, mind wandering to Lucifer. "Don't worry, I can take care of myself. I've been there before, and I know what I'm doing."

Pluto frowned. "Just be careful. From what I've told, they keep some extremely dangerous people locked up there. So watch your step."

"In that case," Mike said, "Maybe the rest of us don't have to go with you? I'd really like to head to my place and check up on the business, it feels like forever since we left."

Pluto nods. "Yeah, I should probably get back home. Michael is probably an emotional puddle right now, and his cousin can only help so much."

"You sure it's safe for you to go there now?" Mike asked. "Samandriel might still be after you."

Pluto nods. "Yeah, I just got word that he's been removed from power. Don't know where he is right now, but since he's missing that means Lillith is currently taking his place. She isn't interested in me, she cares more about making life miserable for the gods."

"Well, that's good to hear." Mike smiled at her. "I'm gonna miss you, you know. If you ever feel like visiting, the demon hunters would be glad to see you."

Pluto chuckled. "Yeah, we'll see. Now that ol' Sammy's out of the way I'll be able to go wherever I want, but I'm sure I've got a whiny psychic to deal with before I get to go anywhere."

Perry stepped forward tentatively. "W-what about me?"
Blake looked at him and his expression softened slightly. "Don't worry," he said kindly. "You can stay with me for a while. I think you'll like it here."
"Okay." Perry looked down at his hands, then at Pluto. "Thanks for bringing me here, Pluto. Goodbye."
