Olivier opened the small bag and pulled out what looked like an icy blue pebble from the bag. He showed the others so they could see what he meant.

"Uh, I don't mean to be a burden, Father, but," Axel replied, "But, what does a rock have to do with getting to the Hodgepodge Appalachians?"

"This is a teleportation pebble," Olivier explained, "I invented them when I first came to the village, because I was so inspired by the Forest of Portals. It's an easier way to travel from one place to another."

"How does it work?" Eska asked.

"Come outside of the caravan and let me show you," Olivier guided his children out of the caravan and onto the ground, "You just throw the pebble to the ground," he throws the pebble onto the ground and suddenly, "then a portal opens, but only for a temporary time. Make sure you go through quickly."

"Wow!" Eska exclaimed, "A whole portal in your hands! And judging by the color, it leads straight to the glacier segment!"

"Let me go through first, Father," Axel offered, "That way, I can see what's on the other side."

"Alright," Olivier nodded, "Everyone, follow Axel through the portal." And the others did so.
