- But I couldn't even walk a meter before falling!

  - But now we know it attacks the magic barrier and I can protect you; unfortunately, you will feel some unwanted effects, but I promise I won't allow it to cause you any permanent harm, I swear on my honor.

  - Alright, I trust you, great ancestor.

  …………………………………………………………………….

  - Garrl, sorry for worrying you, let's go back inside.

  - But are you okay? Did the magic barrier affect you? Shouldn't that happen, or should it?

  - Calm down, Garrl, it could have been anything, but the great ancestor says he will protect me.

  - Fine, but go to the front so I can keep an eye on you better.

  Upon re-entering the magic barrier, I felt a slight dizziness and a lack of air again, but it wasn't like the first time, so I proceeded. This seal could help avoid a greater conflict with the humans; we must know what this place is. We have come too far to turn back empty-handed.

  We walked several meters until we reached a cave; inside, there were several stones carved with symbols I didn't recognize. The walls and the rock floor were also carved. The mana overflowed in this place like in no other he had ever felt; and Garrl was equally astonished.

  - Brother, what was our mother trying to do?

  - That's exactly what I'm asking myself, Garrl. Great ancestor, you see what I see!

  - Incredible, Orgarrl's legacy and heritage have made it here. Did Tammat do this alone? No, a kobold alone wouldn't have been able to, how far does it extend? ………………………… Breigon, I need you to help me with what I'm about to tell you, see that stone in the center, go to where that stone is and tell Garrl to do what I'm going to tell you.

  The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  - Garrl, the great ancestor asks if you can place your hand on that stone in the center and infuse it with your mana, letting it reach the center of the stone and then pulling it outward, pushing it with all your strength to release it immediately. Do you think you can?

  - Of course, I can! I will not disappoint our great ancestor!

  - Wait, Garrl, you must do it carefully; you must let go without hesitation, otherwise, it can be dangerous.

  - Don't worry, brother, are you going to do something?

  - A madness, I'm afraid; but I trust in the great ancestor. Listen, Garrl, once you do what I just explained, I will place my hands on the stone and I need you to help me stay upright, as I will experience the same thing that happened when I entered the magic barrier. If I faint, just get me out of this place and I'll be fine.

  - Are you sure, brother? What are we going to do?

  - Simple, see the extent of this seal. Listen, Garrl, this magic barrier is the seal or at least part of it. Then I'll explain everything to you, let's do this first; the great ancestor can't hold on for much longer. So on the count of one, two,………………., THREE.

  ……………………………………………………………………………

  Out of nowhere, I open my eyes, and the last thing I remember was putting my hands on the stone, and now I'm with Garrl outside the magic barrier; well, I guess I fainted and Garrl got me out; great ancestor, are you there? ………..……………… I think I'll have to wait. I think I'll have to wait.

  - Brother, you're awake! Don't do that again, I thought you were dead, you fainted immediately; I know it could happen, but I still got scared. We need to plan things better, like you taught me.

  - I'm sorry, Garrl, the great ancestor had a limited time and it was important to know how far the seal could be extended before activating it.

  - Activate it? I thought it was unfinished, that's why we were coming here to see how much was left.

  - Surprise! It's practically finished; Tammat almost finished it without realizing; only a few details are missing, according to the great ancestor.

  - So, will it scare away the humans? Will they make them stay away from the caves?

  - Don't doubt that, but let's go back to where Mrs. Spider is; we need to prepare to finish the seal.

  - Yessss! Our mother is incredible! Worthy of the lineage of the great ancestors!

  It was funny to see Garrl jump and celebrate with the excitement of what I had just told him, although to be honest, what Tammat and his people managed to do here is incredible. Out of nowhere, Garrl stops and looks at me again; and asks me something I didn't expect.

  - Brother, I am very happy, but I have a question: Why does it affect you?
