"Gerald? Gerald of Riverton?" Asked Luna in disbelief. "But you should have disappeared-"
"200 years ago?" Continued the old man, then chuckled. "Yes, somehow, I managed to live until now as if my life was extended just by entering it. I'm still not sure how, and I certainly don't intend to find out more because I know what kind of temptations I'll find."
"Do the leaders know about it?" Zayn asked quickly.
The old man shook his head. "No, they only know me as a frail old man who somehow survived from within that world. But because I came from inside it, they assumed I truly originated from there and think that Crossworld is not as strong as they believed. Maybe you're right, captain. The leaders have become too arrogant, but they are not foolish. And the only one who can stop this is you; I'm sure you already have an idea why this Med-stone is sealed."
