Returning to Fort Valoria, I shared my findings from the ancient ruins with Eldrin, Aria, and the council. The possibility of a portal that could connect worlds intrigued them all.
"A portal that can take you back to Earth," Eldrin mused. "This could change everything."
Aria's eyes sparkled with excitement. "We have to find it, Lukas. If Giorgi could return, so can you."
I nodded, feeling a renewed sense of determination. "The tome mentioned specific conditions and immense power required to activate the portal. We need to gather more information and resources."
The council agreed, and we began planning our next steps. We would need to gather magical artifacts and consult with the wisest scholars to understand how to activate the portal.
Over the next few weeks, we scoured the land for clues and gathered powerful artifacts. Fort Valoria became a hub of activity as we prepared for the journey ahead.
------------------------------------Aria's viewpoint
Watching Lukas prepare for the search filled me with a mix of hope and concern. His determination was inspiring, but the dangers were real.
"Lukas," I said one evening as we stood on the ramparts of Fort Valoria, "are you sure about this? The path ahead is uncertain, and the risks are great."
He smiled, his eyes filled with resolve. "I have to try, Aria. This is something I need to do. But I promise, I'll come back."
I nodded, trying to keep my own worries at bay. "Just be careful. We'll be here, ready to support you."
With everything in place, Lukas set out once more, his journey now focused on finding the portal and discovering a way back to Earth.
------------------------------------Lukas' viewpoint
Following the clues from the ancient tome, I traveled to a remote region where the portal was said to be hidden. The journey was arduous, filled with treacherous terrain and dangerous creatures, but my determination never wavered.
Eventually, I arrived at a hidden temple, concealed deep within a mountain range. The entrance was guarded by powerful wards, but my skills allowed me to bypass them with ease. As I entered the temple, the air grew thick with ancient magic, and a sense of anticipation filled me.
Navigating the labyrinthine corridors, I finally reached the heart of the temple. There, standing in the center of an ornate chamber, was the portal described in the tome. It was a grand archway made of a shimmering, otherworldly material, pulsating with latent energy.
"System, show me my status," I said, preparing for whatever might come next.

The portal required immense power to activate, and I was ready to channel my abilities into it. Drawing upon the Heart of Eternity and my other skills, I focused my energy on the portal, willing it to open.
The energy in the temple grew intense as I channeled my power into the portal. The archway began to glow, the shimmering material pulsing with life. It felt like the very fabric of reality was bending to my will.
Just as the portal was about to fully activate, a voice echoed through the chamber. "You dare to open the portal?" It was a voice filled with malice and power. Turning, I saw a figure emerging from the shadows.
It was another demon, but this one exuded an aura of authority and menace. He was no ordinary demon; his presence suggested he was one of significant power.
"You must be the one who sent the demon to Fort Valoria," I said, standing my ground.
The demon sneered. "You will not leave this place alive."
Without hesitation, I prepared for battle. The demon lunged at me, his claws aiming for my throat. But with my enhanced abilities, I easily deflected his attack and countered with a powerful punch, channeling my strength into the blow.
The demon's eyes widened in shock as my fist connected with his chest, shattering his form into nothingness. The battle was over before it even began.
With the threat eliminated, I turned my focus back to the portal. The power required to sustain it was immense, and I knew I had to act quickly. But before stepping through, I realized I needed more information about its activation and use to ensure a safe return.
Deciding it was too soon to make the journey back to Earth, I returned to Fort Valoria to gather more resources and consult with my allies.
