"That is it, you need to be killed" said Elihu as he was about to go for the man but the man just stayed still with a smile looking at Wura as she looked at him, she was at first scared, because she did not know who he was, how did he know her? And it was clear that Elihu wanted to kill him, but he did not look scared at all, he only smiled at her.
She did not know why, but just like with Elysia, she knew that she could trust this man, and he meant no harm to her at all.
"Elihu stand down, all of you stand down" said Wura as they all turned to look at her as if she had gone mad, even Nora looked sceptical as she could not believe that Wura would ask Elihu to stand down, this mana came out of nowhere, saying some strange things, she was scared to say the least.
"My Queen, how can you expect us to stand down? This man in an intruder" said Elihu as he looked at Wura, he could not believe what he had just heard from her.
"Elihu, I said stand down, all of you, stand down" said Wura as she did not have time for people to be arguing with her, what she said goes.
"I am not going to…" said Elihu as he was cut off.
"I said stand down" said Wura once again but this time in an angry tone, she did not want to have to repeat herself again.
"Elihu, listen to her majesty" said Mero as Elihu turned to look at him as if he was crazy for what he just said.
Elihu sighed as he really hoped that they all knew what they were doing, as he reluctantly withdrew his sword as he put it back in its sheath.
"Thank you my Queen" said the man as he looked at Wura and he smiled as everyone turned to look at him.
"You are welcome" said Wura as Elihu scoffed internally, he could not believe what was happening right now, this man could be a threat and yet Wura was welcoming him oh so warmly.
"You said that you have been waiting for me?" asked Wura.
"Yes my Queen, I have" said the man as he nodded his head and Wura seemed to be thinking.
"Elysia sent me here, to guide you to the gate" said the man as he smiled and as soon at Wura heard the name Elysia come out of his mouth, she knew that she could trust him.
"Did she now?" asked Wura as she looked at the man.
"Yes my Queen, I am here to guide you to the gate" replied the man as he as he smiled and he nodded his head.
Wura turned to look at Mero as she could see that he did not seem to believe this whole thing, he looked suspicious of the man, and Wura could not blame him for thinking that way, but she trusted Elysia, and it was clear that they would have no luck finding the gate without this man.
"What is your name?" asked Wura as she turned to look at the man.
"Rehoboth my Queen" replied the man as he smiled.
"Alright Rehoboth, can you lead us to the gate?" asked Wura.
"With pleasure my Queen, please follow me" said Rehoboth with a smile as he started to walk as Wura followed after him, noticing that the others were not following her.
"Are you all coming or not?" asked Wura as she turned to look at them as Nora quickly followed after her, and Mero followed after her as well as she continued on walking.
"Rehoboth, do you live here?" asked Wura as she was walking behind Rehoboth, he was a very short man, shorter than her.
"Well no my Queen, but I do know all these lands like the back of my hand" said Rehoboth as he continued on walking ahead.
"I see" said Wura as she nodded her head, because it would seen that Rehoboth really knew his way around here, he seemed to know just where he was going.
"Please follow closely my Queen" he said with a smiled as Wura nodded her head.
"Right this way" said Rehoboth as he got a torch that was hanging on a tree as he picked it up and he turned to look at them.
"In here Is the gate" said Rehoboth.
"In there?" asked Wura.
"Yes my Queen" said Rehoboth as he nodded his head.
"But that is a cave" said Wura as she could see nothing at all but darkness in the cave that Rehoboth wanted them to enter.
"That is where the gate is located, there and nowhere else my Queen, if you want to reach where you are going, you will have to follow me" said Rehoboth as he smiled.
Wura seemed to be thinking as she was weighing her options, they had gone too far to turn back now, besides, she had Mero and the others with her here, she was sure that if it truly was dangerous in there, they would protect her.
"Alright then, let us carry on" said Wura.
"Good choice my Queen, but at this point, may I please ask all those who will be going to the Yonder Realm to be the only ones to proceed further" said Rehoboth.
"And why is that?" asked Mero as he finally spoke up after a long silence.
"Well my good Sir, this place is forbidden for humans to enter, it is against the laws of the world, but since you are desperate to find whom you seek, you and you alone who want to find him, will be allowed to move further" said Rehoboth as he explained and Wura knew that made sense.
Mero seemed to be thinking, it would seem that they would have to spilt ways at this point.
"Alright then, Zechariah, Luc, you both can return now" said Mero as he turned to look at Zechariah and Luc as they both nodded their heads and they gave the bags that they were carrying to Zuph as he put them on his horse.
"Wait, Rehoboth, will our horses be allowed to go as well?" asked Wura as she did not want to endanger the lives of the poor horses.
"Yes they can my Queen, animals are allowed to pass safely through the gate" said Rehoboth as he smiled and Wura nodded her head.
"We must be quick my Queen, before the gate closes" said Rehoboth as Wura nodded her head.
"We wish you luck" said Zechariah as he looked at Mero and Luc nodded his head as he agreed with him.
"My Queen, please be safe" said Zechariah as he turned to look at Wura.
"I will, you two be safe as well" said Wura as she smiled at them and Luc nodded at Elihu as they turned around to walk back the same way that they came.
"Come now my Queen, we still have to walk some more" said Rehoboth as he continued on walking into the dark cave Wura, Mero, Nora, Zuph and Elihu followed after him.
Wura could see nothing at all in the cave, except for the light coming from the torch that Rehoboth was holding.
The cave was dark and cold, Wura could feel the cold as she was almost shivering.
"We are almost there my Queen" said Rehoboth as he kept on walking deeper and deeper into the cave until he stopped, he took a turn to the right, and he used the torch to light up other torches hung on the cave wall as they walked deeper and deeper into the cave, until finally Rehoboth finally stopped.
"We are here my Queen" said Rehoboth as he stopped in front of a little wooden door.
"This Is it?" asked Wura in confusion as she looked at the door, it looked just like any other wooden door.
"Yes my Queen" said Rehoboth as he nodded his head.
"But this door looks…" said Wura as she paused.
"I know that it might look ordinary my Queen, but once you pass through this door, you will be in the Yonder Realm" said Rehoboth as Mero did not seem to believe this one bit.
"But it is so small and tiny, how are our horses supposed to fit through that?" asked Wura as she looked at Rehoboth.
"All is possible as long as you believe my Queen" said Rehoboth as he smiled.
"As long as I believe?" asked Wura as Rehoboth smiled and he nodded his head Elihu scoffed.
"Some fairy tale this is" said Elihu out loud as he could not believe this.
"My Queen, are you ready?" asked Rehoboth as he paid no attention to Elihu at all as he looked at Wura and Wura looked at him, as she thought, there was no harm in trying after all, if it did not work, then that would be it, but she would not allow herself become a victim of disbelief, just because she did not try.
"Yes, I am" said Wura as she nodded her head.
"Wonderful my Queen" said Rehoboth as he proceeded to open the door and Wura could see nothing but darkness in the door.
"Your courage will not go unrecognized" said Rehoboth as he smiled and Wura stepped forward, Mero made no attempt to stop her because he knew that she was already set on doing this.
"One person at a time please" said Rehoboth as he smiled.
"My Queen, go forth" he said as Wura took a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and she walked into the door.
Nora gasped as in the same moment as it looked like Wura had just disappeared into thin air.
"Who is next?" asked Rehoboth as he smiled.
"Where is she?" asked Mero.
"Where she wants to be, quickly go and join her there" said Rehoboth as Mero did not waste a single second as he walked to the door with his horse and he walked through the door as in the same moment, he too disappeared along with his horse.
"This is witchcraft" said Elihu as he could not believe this.
"Next person please" said Rehoboth as he smiled and even though Nora was scared, she quickly walked through the door as she closed her eyes.
"Next" said Rehoboth as Zuph did not waste a second as he walked through the door with his horse and he disappeared as well.
"Well, are you going to join them?" asked Rehoboth as he looked at Elihu who was the only one left with his horse.
"Tell me, how will we get back?" asked Elihu as he looked at Rehoboth and he stepped to the door.
"You will figure it out when it is time for you to return" said Rehoboth as he smiled which made Elihu suspicious.
"What do you mean by…" said Elihu as without warning Rehoboth pushed him against his will into the door as he and his horse disappeared.
Rehoboth smiled as his work here was done, he closed the door and turned around.
"I do bid you luck my Queen, because you will need it" said Rehoboth as he smiled and he walked away in the same direction that he had come from.
