The group woke up before the sun rose the following day. Shelly had a breakfast prepared for everyone and then they went to check what they packed for the journey to the Unseen Lands.
They used one of the vans the Del Mar family owns. Edmund offered to drive and they began to travel to the first portal- the Andres Fernandez Museum.
It is an old structure that used to be owned as trading house by a rich merchant in town. It now holds some antique finds from the old Salamanca and nearby towns. Some artworks like paintings and sculptures were also on display.
"So, where could the portal be?" Mark asked the group as he looked around the vast interior of the museum.
Jacob move forward and checked his Compass Talisman. The red dial searched for the north and when it was found, the green dial followed suit. The red dial identifies the direction while the green dial often points where the object you seek can be found.
Kyle and the rest was behind Jacob letting him lead them were the compass points them. They passed by several halls and Jacob was not stopping unless the compass indicates they have found the portal.
A few minutes went by until they reach one room filled with geological finds. In the middle of the room stood a glass case with a cluster of yellow crystals.
Jacob went near it and felt the compass getting warm in his hand as the dials vibrated towards the crystals.
"I think we found our portal," Jacob declared to the team.
"How do we pass through it now?" Edmund asked curiously.
Kyle stepped forward and read the words written under the glass case:
"Portal terrestre para los enanos."
Kyle's Spirit Talisman glowed and quivered as the cluster of crystals shimmered. A light was projected from the talisman of Kyle and when it hit the crystals, they reflected an oval glowing door.
The group looked around them but the people in the museum don't seem to notice anything. They were oblivious to what the team was seeing that moment.
Kyle let the rest of team go first before he stepped in and closed the portal behind them.

They got transported to a rocky and moss covered land. The temperature felt cold and the sky seemed too close to touch. They are in the northern mountains.
"Is this the land of the Dwarves and Gnomes?" Edmund asked
Shelly looked through the glass of her Locket Talisman as Jacob consulted his Compass Talisman.
"I can see yellow and brown aura surrounding these rocks," Shelly pointed to rock formations infront of them.
Before anyone else could speak, the ground began to tremble as if something was being pulled underneath.
To their astonishment, the rock formation began to rise until they looked like large boulders and walls towering before them.
"The compass is pointing to that opening!" Jacob gestured towards a entry way between two walls of mossy rocks. There were strange letters etched on them from a language unknown to men.
They were about to cross it when they heard a deep voice spoke:
"Who dares to trespass the domain of Earth dwellers?"
"Raphael Vega sent us! We are here to awaken the Talismans. " Kyle answered for the group.
"Foolish! That man was long gone," the voice replied angrily. "Only the keeper of the Earth Totem can enter."
