The old man shook his head again and sighed at all of that.
"One question at the time, please. "He raised the cane and pointed towards Maiya first.
"It is time to you and the others know about the truth. This seal was a huge mistake, it wasn't protecting us from anything at all. It was only preventing magic from flowing properly, and consequently the creatures that depended on it couldn't get out of the other dimension too." "We used to live with magic creatures before, they aren't too different from us. There are good and bad ones. Wise ones and others not so wise. The problem is that the previous King of Terrania was offended about their presence. In his mind they were only "occupying" territory that belonged to him, this is how the seal idea started. By opening it, you made us all a favor. Without the magic pulsing on the lands, many creatures died, and we also lost some enchanted weapons and buildings we had, like the crystal towers."After finishing, he pointed the cane towards Lycan.
"No, this isn't about what is behind the Gates. The key was the part holding the seal, I still have no idea what is behind the Gates, so maybe there is indeed gold there, who knows. Too old to get there and find out, so I guess you might be the one getting the answer."He sighed and shook his head a few times before staring at Kaarina.
"Like I told the young man over there, I have no idea what is behind the Gates. I am just telling you about the seal the priests did that was related to the key. So there may be gold behind those Gates yet, all I know is that my grandfather told me that the treasures were the reason Terrania grew so fast."
