*Chapter 11: The Portal Revisited**
After many successful battles and the restoration of peace to Eldoria, Khalid felt a strange longing. Despite the deep connections he had formed in this magical land, he yearned to see his homeland once more. Elara, sensing his inner turmoil, approached him one evening as they stood on the palace balcony.
"Khalid, you've given so much to Eldoria. Perhaps it's time you sought answers for yourself. There might be a way back through the portal we discovered," she suggested.
Khalid nodded, a mixture of hope and dread filling his heart. He knew that returning to Morocco would mean leaving behind the friends and duties he had come to cherish. But the need to see his family and the place of his birth was undeniable.
With Queen Seraphina's blessing and Elara's assistance, Khalid prepared for the journey. The portal within the Crystal Mountains awaited, and it was time to see if it could truly take him back home.
