Power Without a Price

The first time Ezra finds Milliways he spends most of the experience overwhelmed by psychic sensory overload. Postcognition doesn’t really mix well with inter-dimensional nexus.

However when he walks out and tells about the experience, the true nature of the place is eventually revealed, furthermore he discovers that the Traders are very interested in using the unique location to seed magic to other worlds and they pay very generously for it. So Ezra’s family all hear about the story and stay in the look out for another door, just in case.

Years pass, and Ezra’s family gets a little smaller, and starting wishing for a door to show up.

Because resurrection is possible, but expensive and bringing three people back is impossibly costly without extreme circumstances.

So Ezra feels extremely lucky the day he finally finds a door again, with family in his apartment where they wait behind after Ezra grabs a few things while Temps holds the door.

He is now in better control of his powers and Milliways massive history doesn’t overload him anymore.

Ezra looks around the bar, sits on a table with a nice view and observes.

Is anyone here that could want and deserve magic?

Grabs the Bottle of Eternal Air and uses it's wind to clean the moss away.

"I know how we got here," This utterance is accompanied with a flare of magic "but your guess sounds good. I don't think Bar would be okay with storing stolen items. In that case I don't want to leave anything here if the potential thieves do return."

When Temperance is clean enough she puts the bottle away and says to Lucy.

"Thank you!"

She opens her arm for a hug.

"Aww yiss, hugs!"

This hug is going to go on for uncomfortably long.

"You know," Lucy says without letting go of Temps, "If they were stolen then you should take them even more, better for you to have them and do some good than to evil thief people hide them in a cave where nobody can find and benefit from them."

It actually takes some time before Temperance gets uncomfortable, but then she does.

"We should return to Milliways" Temperance says "show off the awesome loot!"

Lucy reluctantly lets go of Temps.

"Yeah. I'm getting kinda hungry too, do we have any food left?"

Ann digs out a chocolate bar from her back bag and wordlessly gives it to Lucy. She always has something.

They walk out of the cave with no further setbacks or pleasant surprises and set their way back to Milliways.
