Unlike the usual when she wrapped up the show and everyone simply packed up and left, she received a staggering and surprising applause from those in the kitchen. Mr. Rodney, the television employees, the maids and the guards all clapped.

"That was awesome governor, it was filled with humor and lots of fun. The Christmas music was a bonus." Blad commented first and quickly.

"Yes, the dynamic between you and Justin is amazing, I think we got more viewers because of it. I have seen some live streamers trying to replicate the results but you and him are the best so far. You should invite him to join you more often." Mr. Rodney as always went in directly and told her what made their team special.

"I will, as long as all he receives is love but the moment I see hate comments or insults directed at him I will stop and I will sue. I don't play when it comes to my baby."

Mr. Rodney heard her loud and clear but what he thought was, "What is wrong with this husband and wife? Do they have to sue every time for everything?"You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

Scarlet poured out eggnog into glasses for the television employees to taste.

While they thanked Scarlet and reached for their glasses, Mr. Rodney said sternly, "Take one sip, if I so much as detect a whiff of alcohol on anyone at work they will be fired."

The poor employees squeezed their eyes closed and cried in their hearts. Why was their boss such a stickler for the rules?

They gave Scarlet hopeful looks, 'Please talk to the tyrant.'

"Don't look at the governor, she doesn't decide on the size of your Christmas bonus, I do. And if I feel like you have been slacking off...." he stopped talking and finished all of the eggnog in his glass.

The poor employees only took one sip, and Blad helped himself to the rest as they left, walking with their shoulders hunched forward.

"At least you gave them cookies." He said. "Their boss is strict but he pays them well, I would complain about unfairness but he works harder than them. He is a fair man, you cannot set the precedent of allowing workers report to the office or factory drunk. It can easily become habit."

Again, he blinked, and they came to a what should have been a frozen valley filled with snow but weirdly, it was not. The snow was completely melted in this place, and it felt warm.

"Where are we?" she asked him.

"A ravine." he answered. "You can feel the difference in the temperature between this place and everywhere else, right?"

"Mmm," she noticed. The lack of snow and uncharacteristic heat in the area made it stand out like a sore thumb. As if this was not unnatural enough, they were standing on yellow and green shrubs which seemed to be thriving, not affected by the winter or heat at all. This had to be the place with the crack.

Additionally, the mutated beasts heading this way were quite numerous, it had be their way back to wherever they had come from.

"We must go all the way down there, that's where the crack is." Severus was looking down, at what she judged to be a gorge. There was a narrow stream of water running along the bottom, at each side, were steep and rocky walls which were covered in green moss and likely to be slippery.

It would take some masterful climbing to navigate this rocky gorge, or one could just fly in with a mecha. But only one or two large mechas at a time, she thought.

Severus blinked and suddenly, Scarlet was face to face with the crack she so much wanted to see. In between one of the rocks was an opening like that leading to a narrow cave. It was warmer than the other places and emitted the color red. It was just there, a round red vortex and mutated beasts which could fly were swooping inside expertly.

The ones which could climb were slowly making there way to it, for them, the strong ones were pushing the weak ones out of the way. As they fell down to the ground, most of them landed in the stream where another fight would ensue.

She could only imagine how many bones or bodies of mutated beasts were down there. And more importantly, souls were falling out of the crack while wailing as if they were in great pain.

"I told you," Severus said, "This place is leaking souls. If the humans did not barricade themselves inside their houses and cities during the snow, they would have discovered this place already and started investigating the cause of their plight. I am not sure but there must be one of these cracks on every planet of this world. All that matters to us are the souls, why are we taking on work that is not ours?"

Scarlet pushed her face forward ever so slightly, simply curious, "Severus, what do you think is on the other side?"

Severus blinked them away immediately, bac to the in door patio at the castle and glared at her. "Don't even think about."
