Luther had finally met the person responsible for the attack on Thomix, who also happened to be the leader of the fanatic sect supporting the Night Whispers, the Teheritas. He had to seize the opportunity and turn them into his puppets, his marionettes in the darkness. Héktor began speaking,
'I'm not sure if the general has told you, but whatever you need, we'll assist you. We're currently scouring the six kingdoms for the Luminaries; we won't take long to find any of them,' offered Hektor.'Well done. The truth is, I have a task for you as well. In the astral world, there are hundreds and hundreds of my brothers and sisters, and to win the war, I must open a portal. I hope that won't be an inconvenience.'Héktor glanced at his generals, affirming Luther's proposal.'And what do you need to build the portal?''Don't worry about that, I just need a closed-off place and time.''If you want, you can accompany me to the fortress, and I'll show you the empty rooms for you to choose where to build your portal.''That sounds good, let's go there.''Follow me.'Héktor guided Luther to the entrance of the fortress, which had an obsidian door, walls twenty meters high and a meter thick made of granite but reinforced with steel on the inside, making it very difficult, almost impossible, to breach. The first room he showed me was a large one, unlike the rest of the fortress; it wasn't decorated in a way that would indicate its specific use. The decoration consisted of various rusty and old weapons left on shelves and several books scattered on the floor; it seemed like a storage room for useless items, precisely the kind of room where he could set up the portal.'This room will do, thank you.''Perfect, oh look at the time. It would be a pleasure if you joined us for a meal.''The honor is mine.'Héktor led Luther to the dining hall, where Luther could observe the grand hall, the war room, equipped with the latest in technology. He was eager to visit the Volcanics, the producers of all technological advancements in the six kingdoms. They arrived at the dining hall, consisting of a large table about thirty meters long and a meter wide, made of oak. Additionally, there were a couple of food bowls in a corner where the pets were fed. After finishing lunch, Luther bid farewell to everyone and headed to his room to clean and prepare it for the construction. The portal was merely an excuse to easily bring his armies and conquer all the realms swiftly, without their notice, as they were too occupied searching for Luminaries who might not have even been born yet. Nobody knew for sure when the chosen ones would appear, only that they would at some point.'"
