The line had shown the intruder where the temple was. Why would that be allowed? After centuries of guarding this place, why would someone find the temple? Alec wished he knew if what the intruder said was true, but he couldn't see the ley line. He could only see the gates and nothing beyond them. He hadn't been given that gift or curse when he'd been placed at the temple. "All I see past the gates is night." And stars. At least he'd had the stars to look at instead of unending black that would have driven him mad.

Cautiously moving forward, Alec looked at the drawing, scowling as he tried to understand what was happening. Only one living being was supposed to be able to find the gate and she had never visited. "Whether the line invited you or not, you're not the one that's supposed to be here." He wasn't sure what had allowed this being to find the gate instead of the priestess, but the Angel had never said that strange young men would show up.

"Maybe the sacrifice went wrong," he muttered to himself. Persephone brushed against his leg, ears perked up with interest. The intruder wasn't planning on trying to kill him. Unless he was lying, he seemed just as confused by why he was at the temple as Alec was.

Focusing on the intruder again, he tried to find the simplest solution for why the wrong being was here when it was obvious his intruder wasn't planning on attempting to kill him. "You're not the one I've been waiting for. Was there a girl with you? He said a girl would find this place."
