"So that means you must first find Claire, and after that, locate the portal through which you can return to your real world?" Sydney said. Letting out a cold sigh, she continued, "Michael, fate has been kind to you, because unknowingly, you have already arrived at the right place. In the basement of this house, there is an old, hidden portal. Centuries ago, it was created by those angels who wished to travel between this valley and the real world. That portal opens only with a special key… and that key is the very one hanging around your neck. But only those may pass through that portal who are either not yet dead—or who are themselves angels."
Hearing Sydney's words, Michael's eyes lit up. A mixture of joy and astonishment surged through him, filling his body with renewed energy. "So, if I find Claire, I won't need to search for the portal? That means I can take Claire and return from here using the portal already present?"
