"Thanks." Peter chuckled, strained but real. "There was...a battle." He started trying to think of a way to explain it, then just shook his head. "It'd take too long to go into it all. But this sorcerer summoned a demon lord from Hell. If he'd made it through the portal, he could have killed thousands, millions, hell, everything, I don't know."

He scrubbed his hands over his face again. "We had to stop him. The sorcerer had summoned him, so he was coming to the sorcerer. The demon lord was halfway through the portal. There wasn't even much time to think. I grabbed the sorcerer and dove back through it."
