The portal was easily recognizable once it came into view. Even though Lilliane was still listening to Camerons words, her eyes were glued to the structure in front of her. It was only when Cameron finished talking that she returned her focus to them, looking at Cameron again. "Well, locking away problems has never actually solved them. These gods should have known that a barrier like that wouldn't be a solution." Lilliane wasn't sure whether it was a good idea to talk this way about a god, but at this point, she had not even decided whether she believed all this anyway.
"Can you wait here for a moment?" she asked Cameron apologetically. "There's something I need to check." Saying this, she took off her shoes and socks, leaving them on the ground next to Cameron. After this, she walked into the shallow water next to the portal, circling around it to get a look at it from all sides. This thing seemed thin. Way too thin for any tricks or secret compartments. Nothing hidden at the back. It really looked like a mirror reflecting a cloud-like landscape from both sides.
Having gone full circle, she arrived next to Cameron again, staring at the portal with furrowed brows. She didn't want to believe it. All of this didn't fit in her view of the world, existence as a whole. But if this thing really worked, that would mean everything Cameron said was true. Lilliane wasn't even sure whether she wanted to find out. "I guess we can go?" It was more like a question rather than a statement.
