‘It’s… it’s finally opening!’
People shouted with shock as the giant Gate opened up in the air.
“Whoa…”
“Is this the Gate?”
“Professor. This is amazing.”
“How can one dimension connect to another dimension?”
“I heard the Emperor passed through this Gate twice. Why didn’t anyone else know?”
“It seems there are records of others who came through the Gate in the past.”
“Is that true? What happened to them then?”
“They… were used and abandoned. Most didn’t survive for too long and didn’t leave much trace.”
As they talked, the Gate began to stabilize. It was now safe to pass through.
“It’s stabilized!”
Soon, a few dogs ran through the gate.
“Whoa! It’s the Khalodian military dogs!”
People shouted as they realized the dogs were those used as military dogs by the Empire’s army. Soon came the horns with soldiers returning to the land.
It was the return of the armies after a 10-year-long expedition. Families of soldiers who went over the Gate began to shed tears of joy.
“Message! Message from the Emperor! Move out of the way!”
As soldiers began to march in from the Gate, a messenger with the Emperor’s flag ran through. The message was quickly handed over and transferred to Jackson.
“It’s a message from the Emperor, sir.”
Jackson quickly read the message on the paper.
“What?! This is crazy…”
Jackson gasped at the message.
‘Coming on a large dragon? Large as a castle? And werewolves and vampires? Weren’t those all in the movies only…? What in the world…’
Jackson became confused. As far as he knew, the Earth as he learned from Joonbum was a world of science. It was far from having dragons or other mythical creatures.
“Everyone listen!”
Jackson shouted toward his men.
“His Majesty will come in on a dragon, flying through the sky. Do not be alarmed! And we will have many peculiar races of the Earth coming over. Let the people know so they do not fear or be alarmed by them.”
“Yes, sir!”
Officers of the Empire began to work quickly to send the message to other soldiers. As they prepared for the arrival of the Emperor, civilians and soldiers rejoiced as they welcomed those who were coming over from the Gate.
And of course, there were those who were prepared with their evil schemes.
“Hahaha… he’s coming…! Are we ready?!”
“Yes. As soon as he comes over, everything will be over.”
“Good. Good! And him?”
Priest Chriheem asked and another man answered, “I have sent him back to our Horun. He will be rewarded there.”
“But this technology from Earth is quite amazing. We can create such explosion from this distance.”
“It’s evidence that our Horun have not abandoned us.”
“Yes. It’s good we recruited those who came from the Earth.”
“Yes.”
Soon, soldiers coming through the Gate decreased. Ainos Guards who guarded the Emperor appeared through the gate instead, and a horn sounding of the arrival of the Emperor rang through. Everyone became silent to see the return of the Emperor.
