Erend and Eccar emerged from the portal into the familiar back yard of the Elf Palace. The swirling vortex of energy behind them dissolved into nothingness as they stepped back into the real world.
Though only a few hours had passed here, they had spent days in the harsh landscape of the Dungeon World. Time moved differently there, but now they were back and stronger than before.
The majestic structure of the Elf Palace stood before them, its protective dome shimmering under the sun's light. They wasted no time and immediately making their way toward the throne chamber where the war council awaited.
Their pace was quick, their minds still racing with the thoughts of the dangers that lay ahead. However, at least for now they are not worried because they don't see any changes in this place since they gone. That means the Great Calamity had not launch another attack yet.
