Ernaut had finally escaped from the Nexus Capital's prisons. He was fighting his way out of the Nexus Capital to continue his own quest, while escaping from Wally's plan to take him into prison for witchcraft. He was finally on back to his track, to find his way east. According to Karin, he needed to find what was called a replica of the Gems of Power, which was the monument that Aruku had established back in Tetala Island, because that was the portal that people used to get to other lands, but Ernaut knew that he had to rebuild whatever was lost of it, since the people of Nexus had already took it apart for not being of any use.
Taking the stolen ship, he eventually drove around most of the islands and wore a Nexus military jacket and hat to eventually keep his identity hidden. Karin was able to hide herself from Ernaut's hand, but her powers, such as the tent that Ernaut had used and her weaponry cannot be hidden at all. Ernaut carefully drove the boat through the islands until eventually he got south of Evergrove, where he would eventually find the island of the Gems of Power, and the portal to the way east. Then, after he arrived at the island, he would then destroy the ship by using his Spirit Fists to eventually sink the ship to debris which would then sail away. Although it would be a bad idea because the debris could easily be identified and traced back, Ernaut felt like this could be enough to further hide his traces. Ernaut then took off the military jacket and the hat and eventually threw it out to the ocean, because the jacket and hat might be enough to show that Ernaut had used a disguise to sneak around the Nexus to get to where he wanted. Although in the beginning of the escape he was wearing military gloves, he eventually decided to give them up when he realized that all of the other gloves were not wearing gloves, and that the gloves could easily track him down, but they did and Ernaut had no other choice but to fight them off using Karin's powers.
"Alright Karin, I think we've finally arrived at the island that I needed to go, the island with the portal that could take me east." Ernaut said towards Karin, upon arriving in the ship before destroying it using Karin's powers.
"Ernaut, now that you've destroyed the ship right now, I think I've already memorized its design right now. That way, if you need a ship for travel, I can provide a magical replica that dispels via magic, kind of like the tent that I've been providing you. Karin replied. "Anyways, as for this island, this is it. You have to solve the puzzles here, and then you can form the portal here that could take you east. Why not take a look around, and see what we've got here?"
"Okay, I need to take a look around." Ernaut said, walking around the island for possibly clues for the area. He saw that the altar that had the portal according to the scrolls that Ernaut had read at one point, was not active, as if it was not carrying any charge.
"The portal's not active right now. It looks like I need to solve the puzzles here if I want to reactivate this portal." Ernaut said, pointing the situation with the portal.
"Isn't this the monument with the Gems of Power? Take a look at these 7 colorful rocks, and then you should figure out what to do from there." Karin replied, suggesting on where else Ernaut to look at.
Heading for that ancient arcane floor, he saw 7 rocks that were in different colors; green, red, blue, yellow, orange, and even white! The rocks were all out of order and looked like they needed to be re-arranged in order to activate the portal. Ernaut was curious on why couldn't the Nexus destroy the rocks or even throw the rocks out to the shore. In curiosity, Ernaut grabbed one of the rocks, walked calmly to the shore, but then a mysterious barrier blocked Ernaut from any further, as if the rocks were restricted to be on the island and not to be thrown out.
"So these rocks are not to go any further from outside the shore of the island. Safe enough. I should learn how to rearrange these, and I need to think about this. If these rocks were to form the color of the rainbow, which apparently what these rocks are supposed to represent given their seven colors, you need to be able to rearrange them so I can figure out what to do from there. I've got a plan right now, and that is being able to use you to teleport to my destination afterward or something like that." Ernaut said, thinking of the rocks that were disoriented.
Ernaut had to think of what was going in the area. He then looked at the rocks, and then he had an idea; he would re-arrange the rocks to eventually showcase the colors of the rainbow, but that he realized that one of the rocks, the white rock, wasn't part of the rainbow at all, meaning there were only 6 rocks for the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, but no violet. Ernaut knew that that re-arranging the six rocks was the only option right now, and that he could hope for a possible answer right now. After re-arranging the rocks, the arcane floor started glowing, and the rocks started to float.
"This was a replica of the Gems of Power that was used in Tetala Island. A-ha! If I could use my memory, I could therefore use that memory to teleport you to the other side of the world, where Aruku and the tribes are. That way, you can continue your goal on finding Aruku and defeating those Chromas. I don't want you to solve the rest of the puzzles, because that'll eventually leave more evidence towards the Nexus."
"Tetala Island? What's that?" Ernaut didn't even know about Tetala Island or its presence on Eastern Teya. He only in fact knew about Aruku, the Tear of Heaven, the Comet, and the Chromas at the time.
"An island on the so-called eastern region of Teya. You've been seeking to get over there and find Aruku and the Comet. Now that I finally got a glimpse of teleportation destinations, I could use the evidence to teleport you to your destination. This island, apparently was the island where Aruku originally found me, the Tear of Heaven."
Before Ernaut could teleport himself to the eastern lands of Teya, he needed to start thinking of a plan on what to do when he gets to Tetala Island, the destination that the portal was going to. He thought of possibly meeting Aruku at Tetala Island, but he didn't know whether or not Aruku and the Hawk Tribe were still at Tetala Island or not. If Aruku wasn't at Tetala Island, then his only other option was to explore the area until he finds the island that Aruku is located, or possibly finding Gabriella to look for an ally that could help him get into the Comet and destroy the Chromas.
"Alright Karin, before I get into the portal, you will make sure they will not track me down real quickly. Make sure to put the portal down and make sure the rocks are disarranged, so in case the Nexus finds their way to his island, which they eventually will at some point, make sure that they can't track me down, because I don't know what to do from there in case the Nexus catches up to me. You might say that the tribes of the eastern kingdom can turn on the Nexus in case they get in there? It's true, very possible, but as you know, their military is pretty much unstoppable given how advanced they are." Ernaut asked, thinking of a plan to keep the Nexus away from his journey.
"No problem. I can do that as soon as you teleport, I will reset this area to what it originally was using my memory at this point. This will prevent the Nexus from going any further at this point. I only wanted to solve the first puzzle, not the many puzzles that this island has because it will only give the Nexus more ease, and all I needed was a replica of a memory to take you to Tetala Island. That's all I needed." Karin replied.
"Alright, this is it. For all of this time, I'm finally headed to Tetala Island, my first destination in the eastern lands of Teya. From over there, I will need to find a way to get into the Comet, and then eventually find allies that are willing to support me. I understand that everything cannot be planned accordingly and in time, given I've never been to the eastern lands of Teya before, and that I have no idea where is what in the eastern lands, and that I'll need to learn more about the tribes before I find an ally to get along with." Ernaut said, before starting to get into the portals that the Karin was provided
The Six Gems of Power glowed, and with the help of Karin, shined a beam to the arcane floor. Ernaut closed his eyes, and then in a flash of light, Ernaut disappeared, ready to travel east at last. For several weeks, he has been running from the Nexus's army while on the chase to find his way east. He had gone through many dangers; Beck and Quinn, and the escape from the Nexus Capital's Supreme Prison. He felt like he was finally able to get closer to closer to fulfilling Karin's promise upon the teleportation begun.
While inside the rift portal that was taking him to Tetala Island, Ernaut was already asleep, but he couldn't even stop thinking about what to do upon arriving to Tetala Island, whether it be finding the allies first, or learning more about the tribes, hunting down the Chromas. Speaking of hunting down the Chromas, Ernaut knew that there were still the Omega Chromas, which were the highest rank of the Chromas but had so far encountered none of them. He thought of finding Gabriella first for an ally, but he didn't know where to find the Haven Tribe, and that sailing around with the ship that Karin provides for him with the eastern lands was going to take some time getting used to where was where at the moment. He also needed to take in mind that eventually there might be other dangers as well aside from the Chromas, such as other tribes that could turn on him, and learning to deal with Aruku as well; which meant that redeeming Aruku from what she did with the Call of the Comet wasn't going to be easy. Speaking of the Call of the Comet, one of the reasons why Karin wanted Ernaut to get into the Comet was to fulfill the biggest mystery so far; what exactly was the Call of the Comet, and what it took to Aruku, and the real blessing of the Comet; what it gave up to Aruku in return.
"Ernaut, I know that you're thinking of a plan on what to do when you get to Tetala Island, but if you listen to what I say, I'll protect you. Yes, you'll face many new dangers along the quest. You'll eventually have a slow pace because you're going to be adjusted to the tribes and the new islands that you'll explore. Don't worry about finding a ship, because I can now provide you one from the ship that you've destroyed. You're definitely going to have a strong ally that you can trust, like Gabriella, the queen of the Haven Tribe, or possibly anyone else that can support you. Your promise to me, is to find your way east, and then end the Epoch of the Comet and destroy all of the Chromas, while also making a change to the world, but you still have a long way even after getting to Tetala Island. You're going to have to build some allies and trust, and then find a tribe that is willing to support you, redeem Aruku, and then hunt down the Omegas. I recommend heading for the allies first because you can't solve the Call of the Comet without a ally that can guide you." Karin said, thinking of ideas for what to do upon arriving at Tetala Island.
