The Links of Loyalty with Zeke and Kaleb were completed. The Links were weak, but that was expected from newly established Links of Loyalty, which had been forced without the other parties' acknowledgment. It only worked because Zeke and Kaleb trusted him and probably because they were in a stasis-like state.
Michael manifested the Runic Gate before him and retrieved two of the hundreds of Teleportation Tokens he'd accumulated over the last few years. The Teleportation Tokens weren't Platinum grade, but that wasn't necessary. He pocketed them in Kaleb's and Zeke's jackets and picked them up. Finally, Michael stepped through the Runic Gate carrying his friends.
The Teleportation Tokens broke as he stepped through the Runic Gate, but the teleportation worked. Both Kaleb and Zeke appeared in the Untamed Jungle.
He teleported to the wooden manor, where he put down his friends. His eyes landed on the staff eying him in awe and curiosity.
