Since a lot of her time was consumed with work, Elena liked to walk to and from work and home. It was a twenty minute walk or so, but it was still nice. Besides, it saved her money on transit. She was having some more doubts though as of late, although at least the destruction was being cleaned up, so that was something. It was feeling safer than it had not too long ago.
However, the threats of the other world were now in this world as well. Watching from the darkness of rubble was a beast of the other world, about to move in.

Tristan was off-duty today, and that meant hitting the bottle and the wooing of the ladies. If he had been taught anything about his short life, other than he looked good in a suit, it was that chicks dig a magician, even if they weren't aware they were witnessing actual magic.
Right now, he sat in a bar, doing card tricks for the amusement of a gaggle of young-looking brunettes, with a half-full glass of wine to his right.

It only took a few more steps from Elena before the Phantom emerged from the darkness, dashing swiftly for her in a stream of darkness. She didn't even see it coming as it ensnared her in its shadowy body and began to strangle her.
"It's lazy, but I don't have time to learn what you hold dear. Let fear of death drive you to your despair!"

"Is this your card?" Tristan said a suave tone, pulling the Ace of Clubs out of his wine glass. As the girls clapped and cheered, he looked off to the open door and saw...
"Agh!" He growled. "This was my day off, too." He got up from his comfortable chair, dropped a few notes on the bar and confidently approached the shadowy Phantom.

The Phantom turned its head to see the man approaching. "I sense magic in you..."

"I'd be disappointed if you couldn't." Tristan remarked, slipping a ring on his right hand. "You wanna stop whatever you're doing?"

It threw her aside, "I'll kill you, then break that Gate," it hissed, becoming a blob of shadows.

"Uh-huh. Good luck with that." Tristan rolled his eyes, summoning a WizarSwordGun.

The shadow struck for his weapon.

"Nope!" Tristan fired at the Phantom, backing away.

The shadow recoiled and slithered along the ground, seeping into cracks.

Tristan stopped himself from swearing. "It's okay." he reminded himself. "I have something for this." He switched out his Connect Ring for another one.
"VISION! NOW!"
The magic ring let him see beyond the stone of the pavement, down into the very earth itself. Hopefully, whatever that Phantom was, he could find it.

It was gathering right beneath his feet, reconstituting into a blade that was getting ready to erupt upwards.

"Oh, dear." Tristan said, completely deadpan, as he spotted the Phantom underneath him.

In a few more seconds it was ready and sprung up.
