While Tashirn and the Saints reached a stalemate, as the latter did want to provoke the former's faction due to a large misunderstanding, one that the former wishes to maintain as it would allow them to escape safely, Ryker and his group had entered what could be considered the inner part of the Source Realm.
"So, this how long until we found the first trial?" Miriam asked, a valid question that not even Shuri and Ryker knew the answer of.
"We have to just continue walking until we find it." Ryker answered, unable to give a more precise answer due to the lack of knowledge in regard of the Source Realm.
Aside from knowing the location and what they need to achieve to be allowed entry, they lack a lot of information about the Source Realm, especially its owner other than the fact they mastered the Law of Metal.
