Ibrahim rubs his head. "It...was a key that Regina was supposed to give to the Regent.  I had entrusted the Regent with directions on how to find Thure, should I ever disappear.  There's a...there's a...way that would let someone get to the Crucible in Thure, but the Crucible is already here."

"But how can we possibly get to it?" Melandil asks.

"I don't know.  Traveling to Thure is out of the question.  It would take us months on foot.  But..."

He turns to Kathra. "You said that there were other portals in town, Kathra?  How many, exactly?"

"Perhaps a dozen, though I am not sure," she says.

"So, we go through this one and see where it leads?  I'm not sure what choice we have."

"Should you go, I will stay," Melandil says. "I will have to lead those of us who remain.  And...I will watch over your family, Ibrahim.  Until you return for them."

Ibrahim turns to his father, who returns the look.

"And you will find a way, my son.  Entula a' amin, A'maelamin utinu. "

Ibrahim pauses, and speaks. "Amin will sav sen, Atar."

Without another word he takes Lucida's hands and, looking at Hound, steps through the portal.
