Soon enough, they made it to Umber Tor, and landed in front of the great gates. They looked abandoned, except for two stone giants standing in front of them.
Terbium: We are the guardians of the Gates of Umber Tor.
Chert: Guardians is a bit much, don't you think? We're more like doormen.
Terbium: Guardianship of this gate is a sacred duty. I've been saying this for 500 years.
Chert: Yes, but do we really guard it? We just open and close...
Zubeia: Enough bickering. Open the doors. We must see Rex Igneous.
Terbium: Rex Igneous is not accepting visitors.
Chert: Maybe try back next century?
Callum: Hey. I know you guys are just trying to do your job but...
Zubeia: I am the Dragon Queen! Open the doors or I will reduce you to pebbles.
Chert and Terbium worked together to open the doors, only to reveal a pile of rubble blocking the whole thing.
Chert: Hmm. Those weren't there 80 years ago. You know, you could just go the other way.
Terbium: Whoa. Do not reveal the secret entrance.
Zubeia: Secret entrance? Why did you not tell us sooner?
Chert: Well, the back door isn't exactly dragon-sized. It's more regular sized, for tiny, squishable creatures, like elves and humans.
Ezran: We may be tiny and also squishable but if there's a way to Rex Igneous, we're taking it.
Terbium: The entrance lies in the Drakewood, deep within the Uncharted Forest.
Ezran: We'll find the way.
Zubeia: You are very brave, young king. But I must warn you, when you find Rex Igneous, choose your words carefully.
Chert: Yes. The old dragon's got a bit of a temper.
Terbium: Oh, annoy him and the ground shall rumble. Irritate him and stone shall shatter, lava shall boil. Infuriate him and...
Chert: You'll probably die.
Linopha: We'll be fine. We have a way with grumpy old people.
Linopha shot a playful smile at Bait.
Zubeia: Azymondias and I shall await you at storm spire.
Zubeia flew off and they headed into the uncharted forest.
