Andar looked at the walls for a moment, they returned to their previous state without any sign of tampering, then a knock on the door made him turn towards it, the door opened and a man came through it, he was tall and from his disposition, Andar knew he was most likely a Mage.
"Andar Erikson?" The man queried.
Andar stood up straighter, he found that he could not help it, which was strange, "That's me."
The man walked to the center of the room and brought out a six-inch wand, he waved it in the air and a portal was open.
From the portal, a wooden door appeared with the face of a baby on it. It was the same type of door that was used previously in the Central Transportation Bureau, and his interest was piqued. Was this series of doors a living creature or a manufactured puppet?
"Go through the portal and meet the Steward of the Black Tower Archmage Khasos."
Andar mouth fell open, "The Steward of the Black Tower?"
