Gabriel stood outside the barrier, waiting for Karyk to return. However, only a few minutes had passed when he felt a mysterious pull. Before he could even react, portals opened before him and pulled him inside.
Stunned, he pulled out the weapon given by Karyk, believing it to be the work of Elzeirans.
As soon as he stepped out of the portal, he was prepared to strike first. It was only at the last moment that he stopped after noticing Karyk's presence here as well. There was no killing intent here either.
Still, he held Zena's hands and pulled her behind her.
"Oh, you're here as well?" Aliac asked, even more intrigued that someone as cautious as Gabriel had brought his sister and everyone else along.
"Weren't you supposed to be in the Upper Realm?" he asked, slightly surprised.
