"Not as unhelpful as the fact that this portal is going to be guarded by several fleets of Beorin warships."

"So," Variance put in, "do we really need to enter this portal?"

"Oh. Well, the Kkhlei won't like that -- I'm sure they'll deal with them. In the meantime, we should probably find a way to get through the portal before it closes."

"Yes."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"I'm relatively certain that it'll be open as long as Beorin is here - or, at the very least, there'll be a way to turn it on and off." Ayia scratched the back of her neck. "The issue is that... I doubt Beorin would stake an invasion on an all-out war against the Kkhlei. They've been known to ally with local tyrannies more often than not."

"Yes."

"Why? I think it would be less of a danger to our lives to try and enter it as opposed to just staying here."

Allera swallowed. "They're planning to invade other parts of this universe, then?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

"And, more likely than not, they're going to use the Kkhlei to do it. They'll boost their power with fleets, forces, tech, other kinds of magic..."

"What are we supposed to do about that?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

"For you guys, that just means you're in a lot more danger all of a sudden."

"For you guys, that just means you're in a lot more danger all of a sudden."

"But we'll be in even more danger if we approach the portal, which is guarded by this organization."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Even more immediate danger, yes." Ayia stroked her chin, deep in thought. "So I'm weighing the odds here..."

"Even if we entered the portal, wouldn't we just be going to where they came from?"

 

[Channelknight Fadran]

"That's the other issue, but assuming they're leaving from Beorin proper and we can actually get past their inner defenses, then I can get you somewhere much safer than... well, here."

"I don't know. Allera, thoughts?"

"Bear in mind," Ayia added, "that we'd be banking on a lot of factors going right. We'd have to figure out how to operate the portal as soon as we get there, get in quick enough that they can't get a message through to the other side - hells, even that's assuming they can't just communicate from each side remotely. Even if we stand the slightest chance of escaping once we pass through, we'd have to assume that we don't have to put in some passcode or whatever to turn off any security gates they might have installed - and even then, there's the possibility that they aren't even coming from Beorin proper, which would pretty much land us in the same situation we're stuck with here."

Ayia puffed. "But unless you guys want to be on the run your whole lives, I think that's the best shot we got."

"It should be up to you both. You'll be the ones in the most danger, whatever we do."

Allera grimaced. “Let’s do it.”

"Not yet I don't. Step one will be to actually find the darn thing, step two will be to scout it out as best we can without blowing our cover, and then step three is to make a plan."

“Well, if they wanted to talk with the Kkhlei, there’s really only one place they’d go.”

[Channelknight Fadran]

"The capital?"
