Having never used a portal before I was expecting a lightshow or something amazing. Instead I find out it is like being flushed down a drain in pure darkness with your stomach trying to reach your feet. It ends up only lasting a second but it feels much longer, Lizzy is not happy when we arrive in the forest.
As soon as we are out of the portal she turns and gives me a dirty look. I quickly apologize to her and pull out a drake bone for her to chew on before she takes her anger out on me. Dismounting and looking around I can see the rebel camp has gotten much larger.
That is no surprise since we sent so many people through the portal, and I can see many beastmen mixed amongst the humans. From what I can see everyone seems to be behaving and getting along. In fact as I look around I realize there is a lot of activity, it looks like the camp is preparing to move.
