Valkyrie gripped the door, about to fling it open, but China looked up at Vengeous and her eyes narrowed.
"As my words draw closed, the circle binds, secures you to your fate."
Vengeous reached for her but hit something, an invisible wall. He tried to back off, but he only got a couple of steps before he hit another barrier. He looked down, looked at the elaborate carpet, and saw the circle hidden in the design.
"Clever girl ..."
"You didn't think I would install some security measures?" China said.
"Very, very clever."
His eyes flashed yellow.
"That's not going to work, my dear Baron. Symbols are my power. Your powers can't break that shield. You can't hurt me. But I can hurt you.”
