"I'm not quite sure if something like that ever happened before...", said Aurora thinking about the strange dreams, "something is probably wrong in Adonia Empire".
-"What do you mean by that?"
-"Try connecting the dots. It's been 10 years since The Golden Book didn't show up, and it's been 10 years since Empress Neffari's last known appearance. Now that you actually started looking for it, you're having this strange kind of dreams".
After thinking for some time Arthur replied, "your words make sense... but it's a fifty-fifty chance".
-"Well of course it is, it's not necessary that it will have to be a vision".

Since the day of Arthur and Aurora's conversation, Arthur didn't have the dreams anymore. It slowly became just one of the random dreams for him. The day has finally arrived when dimensional portals can be accessed. Arthur packed up common clothes rather than royal in order to stay in disguise. Someone knocked on the door, "May I come in?" It was Peter.
-"Yes".
Peter entered the room with a smile and a lunch box on his hand. Arthur cringed hard, "I'm not taking that thing with me".
-"You're going on a long journey, your highness. It's necessary".
-"I'll buy something from nearby town".
-"There are no shops around 10km radius of the portal, it's better if you take this".
Arthur sighed and took the box.
-"My lovely father might ask you why didn't you tag along in my vacation. If he does tell him you need to take care of the palace".
-"Yes, your highness".
-"Let's hope for the best now".
Arthur's eyes glistened with hope, it was finally time for the first step toward the throne. The throne that has been corrupted for years.

Before leaving Arthur went to High Priestess' cabin.
-"Your Highness, hope you get what you've been looking for".
-"Thank you for your blessings Priestess Aurora".
-"Take this with you".
Aurora handed Arthur a sealed brown box.
-"What is this?"
Arthur inspected the box closely.
-"It's gonna protect you in trouble".
Arthur raised an eyebrow, "You think I might need help?"
-"This will keep your mana constant. Dimensional travel might affect your mana so it's better you keep it with you".
Arthur smiled from gratitude, "Thank you for looking out for me".
-"It's my duty, your highness".
It was time for Arthur to leave. The carriage was ready at the courtyard. Peter and Maid Althea stood by the carriage as Arthur got up. Althea's eyes were teary, as Arthur called out her name she burst into tears.
-"Your highness make sure you eat well, I hope to see you soon".
Althea said as she rubbed away tears with her handkerchief.
-"I'll be alright nana", Arthur smiled.
Arthur's first destination is Planet Alchemilla, Earth of 1st dimension. Portal to 1st dimension is situated on Eastern land of Laravi so it would be less time consuming. Arthur took a sigh of relief and closed his eyes, it's gonna be a long journey.
