Several old men gathered near the stargate.

The stargate had been sealed, and this was a forbidden area. The surrounding was dark, the ground was cracked, and the sky was gray. Lightning and thunder intertwined in the low sky as red and black mist floated in the air.

Eight huge stone pillars towered into the sky, each with a width of a dozen people. Obscure characters and patterns were carved on the stone pillars. Several huge locks connected each pillar, and the dull clatter of iron chains could occasionally be heard in the wind.

An area full of restrictions was found at the end of these stone pillars with an ancient altar inside. The altar was full of spells and enchantments to suppress it.

The old men stood in the outer area of the stone pillars and looked solemnly at the altar from a distance. They were none other than the five half-steps to the other shore who appeared in Larson Manor back then!
