Eldarion was taken by the Bogo Matassalaï in front of the destroyed telescope, so that he could see the extent of the damage caused by the lightning passage of M the Evil . When he looked at it from the inside, he realized that if the entire structure was just a little thing to repair, renovating the inside of the telescope would be much longer and more complicated. The entire internal mechanism had been reduced to ashes and the magic it housed had completely evaporated. This magic was indispensable to connect the world of humans and the world of minimoys and ensure the transfer of the pasenger , and if Eldarion wanted to rebuild the telescope, he had to study this magic and master it.

The Bogo Matassalaï chief told Eldarion that the large library of a mole named Miro could provide him with the knowledge he was looking for. This mole lived in the village of King Sifrat of Matradoy, located in the first kingdom. So he suggested that Eldarion go there and offer to repair the passage, but Eldarion saw further. He could indeed offer his services for the repair of the telescope and exchange the people of Sifrat could come to the aid of Eldarion in the search for the still missing nyrilorns.

Understanding Eldarion’s wish to reunite with his people, the Bogo Matassalaï chief approved his plans and offered to escort him to the nearest point of the first kingdom so that he could meet with King Sifrat of Matradoy and propose a plan of mutual aid. Convinced that the way forward was right, Eldarion accepted the chief’s proposal and climbed on his hand. The latter then took him to the crossing site, deviated his direction a few meters and lowered himself to let Eldarion descend with his hand.

Eldarion lands next to a 1 cm long hole, dug into the ground and leading to a long dark tunnel. The Bogo Matassalaï chief wished him good luck for the rest before leaving where he came from. The nyrilorn continued his route and threw himself into the hole to land in the earth tunnel. Looking on one side, he noticed that the tunnel seemed endless and continued its progression in the darkness. On the other side, Eldarion saw a large door, behind which was probably the village minimoy. Determined, Eldarion went towards the door.

When he arrived, Eldarion knocked on the door and lowered himself sufficiently to reach the height of the visor that would normally reach his shoulders. When the visor opened in front of Eldarion’s face, the guard on the other side of the door was surprised to notice the presence of this being with bright blue eyes, who asked his king for an audience. After having humbly asked the autarch to wait a few moments, the guard went to the palace to inform King Sifrat of Matradoy of the presence of the nyrilorn. When the guard had finished describing the visitor, a jovial expression appeared on the face of King Sifrat. He ordered the guard to open the door while the entire Minimoy people gathered in the main square. Princess Selenia, who had been back to the first kingdom for a few days, had listened to the description of the unknown and already had doubts about him. And as Eldarion walked through the village, the whole village was gathered in front of the king and the royal family to welcome the visitor.

All the villagers seemed astonished by such a meeting, but when Eldarion arrived behind them to integrate into the gathering, those who looked at him were amazed. While King Sifrat of Matradoy had finished praising the nyrilorn he knew a long time ago, Selenia expressed her displeasure, claiming that the first kingdom did not need another hero and that only her husband Arthur was worthy of this title.

As the King asked Eldarion to come forward and explain the reasons for his coming, Selenia watched the nyrilorn approach the central square. Having listened to Selenia’s speech about her, Eldarion knew that she and he would not get along easily.

On the one hand, Princess Selenia saw in Eldarion a man like any other, who, despite her powers, would try to extol her history and her power in a foolish attempt to win her heart when he seemed to be unaware that she was already married. On the other hand, Eldarion saw in Selenia an adult still behaving like a child, a warrior who had never experienced war as he had, and who did not seem to understand that even beings as powerful as he could know the bitter taste of defeat. Everything seemed to oppose the two protagonists, and yet no one would suspect that in the future, a strong fraternal bond will be created between Eldarion and the brothers and sisters of the royal family, but this is another story. As the Eldarion story is over for now, it is now time to fully see the events that will take place after the war of the two worlds.
