Only a few minutes passed before powerful distortions suddenly appeared throughout the chamber once again. The air trembled as space folded inward at four different locations.
One after another, portals reopened. Blue and red energy appeared first then cold and silver followed immediately afterward. Then golden-black light emerged beside it while greenish energy completed the sequence.
Archmage Velrion immediately looked up from his formulas, noticing the four Dragonborn had returned.
Erend stepped out first, followed closely by Eccar, Aesa, and Sylven. Behind them came the remaining Archmages of the four kingdoms.
Archmage Morvain of Drakenmere emerged beside Erend. The elderly mage carried a rectangular metallic device beneath one of his arms. The object appeared similar to a thick book crafted from silver-gray alloy with countless runes moved beneath its surface like living streams of light.
