The portal to the human realm was located in the main headquarters of Natha's merchant guild. It was hidden deep underground, where the vaults for valuables were being kept.
Well, I guessed an inter-realm portal was also a treasure.
Of course, it wasn't located in the same room as the other valuables--just on the same floor. We were using a merchant carriage instead of the Castle's, so others would think it was just one of the staff coming back from reporting to Natha. Naturally, we didn't want people to find out that I would be away for a long time.
If the tokens could be made, I would only use the portal once more, and that was it. Probably.
"Have you sent a message to the other side?"
"Yes, Your Lordship. She said she would be waiting in front of the portal," the staff stationed to solely maintain the portal answered swiftly.
"Good."
