Daniel thinks to himself, “Since Jon, Julia and Running Deer are back, and Jehanne is stabilized, while we are waiting for Gray Wolf, Blue Cloud and Snow Flower, I want to check out what I thought I saw a few days ago deep in the ocean portal.”
Walking to the Hall of Corridors he walks to the famous large fish portal and gently pushes the refracted waves aside. First of all, Daniel looks for the fish that continues to make trouble for those who walk through the Hall of Corridors. Second, he looks toward the lights coming from the underwater city that he discovered earlier. As he is standing by the portal, the lights from the Hall of Corridors shining behind him, makes him visible to those in the water.
Not far away a silver oval ship is finishing its flight, lining up to enter the city.
“Why are we entering from this side, Captain?”
“All of the other landing sites are busy and I’m in a hurry; there is a secret entrance on this side.”
Looking out through one of the windows of the ship, a midshipman asks, “Sir… what’s that over there?”
“What are you looking at?” the Captain questions.
“There,” pointing in Daniel’s direction. “It looks like a man, Sir. What’s he doing? He’s not in a ship and he’s not in the water, but he looks like he is standing and looking in our direction.”
“Zoom in on his face. Take a picture of him quickly.”
“Yes, Sir….” Click…. “There I have it.”
“Good, now put the picture into the face recognition registry.”
Within seconds a match is made. “It’s Cuvar Offion Moradius. Fancy that, after all of our searching, ‘the guardian’, and he’s right in our own backyard! Well, new backyard.”

Walking back to the Security Division with many things weighing on his mind, Daniel pushes them aside, directing his mind to the current pressing issues. “Treysen, have you heard from Gray Wolf and his parents, Snow Flower and Blue Cloud?”
“Yes Sir. All have arrived at their destinations.”
“Where is that again?”
“…Martinique.”
“…In the Caribbean?”
“Yes Sir.
“Keep me informed of their travels.”
“I will, Sir.”
