As a few moments passed, Lucas dug into the journal as the others waited around. Until Lucas had found what he was looking for. "Okay, I think I know what to do next or say, really." Lucas looking a bit nervous as he read the journal. "I hope I can say this right," with a determined tone, he spoke. "Achogantu enzoth teumia." 

As soon as Lucas said the words, the four columns slowly started to light up from the floor, and a hum could be heard. A blue energy started to course through the columns, and as it filled the columns and each symbol on them was lit up. Once the energy filled the columns, the hum turned into a buzz as an energy bolt from each of the columns shot at the portal at the same time and held until the portal activated. The blue bolts ceased, and the portal glowed with blue energy, with each symbol on it lit up and was now ready to send the group to wherever Coswall's expedition went. 

"Holy..." Lucas was surprised by this new development, and he looked down at his notes for a moment. "How did he..." Lucas shook his head as he realized it did not matter. At least to him, all that he cared for was that the path to when he mother was, was not open for them. All they had to do now was go in and see what was on the other side. 

Lucas picked up the journal, closed it and put it away in his backpack. He walked from the podium to the portal and stopped about halfway as he stared at the portal for a moment before addressing the group. "Well, time to see where they went and see what is on the other side." Lucas took a deep breath and uttered three final words, "into the breach," and he walked into the portal.

It took seemingly seconds as Lucas and the group appeared on the other side. Unlike the dark chambers of the temple, the area around the portal was open and the first thing the group noticed was that the space was much bigger and that light was coming from openings on the sides of the walls near the ceiling. Instead of being made of white stone, this structure is made of light yellowish material. It looked like this temple was built to accommodate more people, and large murals were depicted on the walls. Showing what looked like two worlds, one above and one below, and two races, one human and another with a lizard head. Seemingly at peace with each other. There was a large podium near what looked like the entrance to the chamber, like the same one they found in the temple.    

Lucas took the time to look around and take in where they were. Where were they, and what is this place? Where did the portal take them? Questions that he knows cannot be answered right now but will linger in his mind. He waited until the others were ready to move and see what this place, wherever they were, looked like on the outside.
