The time has now arrived. The moment the Riders have all been waiting for. The Passing of the Portals. This was a most nerve-racking process, because Kravin and Uluthrek might be in danger, as this stationary portal was a first generation, meaning that this is the first stationary portal that any person in the whole of Alagaesia has ever made.
