The last problem facing them was the Midas troops who were unaware of the plans. But keeping the gate closed for an extended period would cause them significant concern. It would have to be explained to them, in some way.
Kurt didn't really have a solution to this other than explain it all. But that seemed unwise. They might even insist on going.
He met with Layla to discuss the plan.
"They don't have any right to talk about what we do on this side," said Layla.
"But what are they going to think this is the first time? And we are bringing over a dragon. I think that's the type of stuff they watch out for."
"So what do you suggest then?"
"I don't know. We could lie or something."
"Lie about what?"
"How long can the moving gate really hold open?"
"That won't make any sense."
Betsy came in, "Are you talking about the Midas people?"
"Yes."
"Well I have an idea," said Betsy.
"And what's that?"
