CHAPTER XIII

It took Lothriel mere seconds to gather those he decided he would need, and then to get Olyne to open a gateway for them to cross through the boundary. It was something that brought a greater understanding of what this cost to do to Lothriel. The constant travel by this method was causing other problems for them, which meant they needed to find a different way to travel from one side to the other. Lothriel wasn’t certain how they were going to be able to do this, not when he was in the middle of talks with another entity. Emperor or not, he could spread himself only so thin.

Hawk and Adriel watched, as Lothriel and his advisors quickly crossed through the gateway, then got straight to business. “Where are Caia and Thea? I want to speak to them first. We don’t have a lot of time to waste on formalities.”

Where there had been time to slowly assure Sage and Sahara that what they were about to share was the right thing to do, this time Lothriel cut even the introductions short when Caia and Thea was brought to him. “So you are aware of the position we all are in, we need to cover as much ground in the shortest possible time as possible. Therefore, as Emperor of the Elven Empire, I command you to tell us what you know, as well as the secrets we understand that you refuse to share with your Life Mates about your reasons to stay here.”

Caia and Thea shook visibly at the sight of so many Elves of great power assembled before them. They had never felt so overwhelmed before, and they were gratified when Hawk and Adriel decided to stand at their sides to offer them support. With a shared look between them, Caia began to speak. “The last water portal lies one-hundred and twenty miles offshore. It is so weak that a slight underwater quake or the touch of a sinking ship could cause it to collapse. It has been this way for the last one hundred years. We have hidden two books that tell of how each and every portal came to an end, and what happened to the land when it did. In some cases the change was catastrophic. In others, it had no effect at all. The books are only a matter of history at this point, but they are something we were told that the librarians would want for the archives. They were not to be left behind to fall into the wrong hands when we leave, for there was no telling what kind of trouble that might cause.”

Thea continued, even as she clung to Adriel as tightly as she could. “The closest portal to this one hangs in the air itself. It is not as weak, and a trio of young Elves like Caia and I, who happen to own the land below, guards it. They are careful about those who go there, except for at one time of the year.
