Reina Thought
Alex smiled a tired, knowing expression. "You'll see. But first we need to be careful. Not everyone can enter the sanctuary. If too many people know about it, the secret will spread. And I don't want to attract other people right now..""Yes this should be best as there are a lot of people in the base at present time," Alena finished. "I understand. So who do we take?""Just our family member," Alex said. "You, Diana, Aegar, Cedric, Asher. Mother and Father. Great-Grandfather James and Great-Grandfather Marcus. The children Martin, Anna, Kiara, and the others can come too. They deserve to see where their future lies.""And the Council?" Diana asked. "They'll notice if we all disappear.""We won't be gone long. It will be just like how we enter the room. And we'll have cover. After all, the gate of the secret realm is just inside my villa's secret room so we don’t have to worry. They won't even know and if they ask anything then we can just say that I am training you guys in my villa."
Sanctuary Revealed
The morning sun cast long shadows across the valley as Alex led the Council delegates toward the western edge of the inner zone. The journey had been an uneventful three days of walking through corrupted wilderness, past ancient ruins and twisted forests, with no sign of monsters or danger. The delegates had grown quieter with each passing day, their initial skepticism giving way to something that looked almost like anticipation.The silver-haired woman from Valdris walked beside Alex, her ice-blue eyes scanning the horizon. "You said the valley is defensible," she said. "But I've seen dozens of defensible valleys in the inner zone. What makes this one special?""The secret realm," Alex replied. "And the resources near by the valley. The valley has deposits of rare ores void iron, star silver and the soil is rich enough to support agriculture. But the secret realm is the real prize.""You keep saying that," the merchant prince from Oros said, his voice carrying a note of impatience.
Gateways
Alex returned to the base and found James and Marcus waiting for him.He explained what he had found in the valley, the resources, and the secret realm. He explained how the valley was defensible, how the resources were abundant, how the secret realm was stable and intact.James and Marcus listened in silence. When Alex finished, they exchanged glances."You found exactly what we needed," James said quietly. "A location for the Council's base. And a secret realm nearby.""The secret realm is small," Alex said. "And empty. There's nothing valuable inside.""That's perfect," Marcus said. "We didn't want anything valuable. We just wanted a secret realm."Alex frowned. "Why? Why is a secret realm so important?"James leaned forward, his pale eyes intense. "Because, Alex, the secret realms are not just pockets of space. They are anchors. Points where the fabric of reality is thinner where the barriers between dimensions are weaker. And when the Stargate core reaches its next level of stabi
Search
James leaned forward, his pale eyes intense. "That, Alex, is something you'll understand when the time comes. For now, just trust us. Find a location with a secret realm. And when you do, we'll explain everything."Alex studied his great-grandfather for a long moment. There was something in his eyes, something ancient and knowing and just a little bit sad. He was hiding something. Something important.But Alex trusted him. He had always trusted him."Alright," he said. "I'll find your location. But when the time comes, you'll explain everything. No more secrets."" Okay you will see for yourself," James agreed. "I promise."Alex left the chamber and walked out into the valley.The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of gold and rose. The base stretched before him a monument to human ambition, a testament to what could be achieved when people worked together. And beyond the base, the inner zone stretched toward the horizon vast, mysterious, full of dangers and opportunities.“
Offer
Alex had noticed it throughout the ceremony the way the delegates' eyes kept drifting toward him, the way they whispered among themselves when they thought he wasn't looking. They were curiously looking toward him.“They know I found the secret realm,” he thought. “They know I'm the one who scouted the base location. They know I'm the one who's been hunting in the deep inner zone for the past year. They want to know what else I've found. Hey, I am overthinking again. If there is something I will know soon.”He didn't react. He simply stood there, his expression neutral, his grey eyes meeting theirs without flinching. Let them wonder and speculate. He had nothing to hide, nothing they could prove, anyway.The ceremony continued. Marcus Blackwood spoke next, the ancient Immortal King's voice strong and steady. He spoke of the alliance between the Roshar family and the Blackwood family, of the bond that had been forged over a thousand years. He spoke of the future: the children who would
Inauguration
The inner zone was no longer empty.It had been a wasteland, a corrupted wilderness so dangerous that even Law realm warriors hesitated to enter. The monsters that roamed its territories were twisted by dark energy, their bodies warped, their minds consumed by rage. The spatial fabric was unstable, torn by centuries of conflict and corruption. And the resources that lay buried beneath its surface were inaccessible to all but the most powerful cultivators.But now, everything has changed.The monster surge had ended. The corrupted beasts had retreated. The spatial fabric was stabilizing. And the resources, the spiritual energy crystals, the rare ores, the ancient treasures were finally within reach.Every race in the Stargate had noticed. Every race had seen the opportunity. And every race had begun to move.The humans had been the first. The Roshar family had built their base in a defensible valley near the center of the inner zone, a massive fortress of white stone and spiritual ene
