You stood firm in your decision to refuse the gem and asked Gnipahellir to leave. With a sly grin, the gnome vanished into the shadows, leaving behind an eerie silence that hung heavily in the air. As you looked around, you noticed Vefrithr's expression soften with relief, grateful for your choice. Suddenly, the ground beneath your feet began to tremble, and the enchanted forest seemed to come alive with whispers of ancient magic. A mystical portal shimmered into existence before you, beckoning you with a promise of adventure and mystery.
Vefrithr turned to you, their quills bristling with excitement, "The portal leads to different realms beyond our own. Will you step through its shimmering veil and embrace the unknown, or will you bid farewell to this fantastical world and return to your own reality?"
