‘There are doors, and it seems like the number of them is increasing, that will take you to different places depending on how many moons (if there’s more than one) are visible, the phases of the moon(s), and occasionally even what the weather is. I once found myself stepping through a door I thought for certain would take me to Gaelom, because that was where it had taken me every other time I’d stepped through it, only to find myself in the middle of nowhere on Raenarin. I was grateful I was in the middle of nowhere, but it was a real irritation. Now I’ve tested that door many times and it seems that it only takes a travelled to Raenarin if it’s raining.

‘One of my favourite doors is one on Siaral. Siaral has four moons, which makes the door very interesting. It’s a door that works by moon phases and, thankfully, doesn’t appear to be affected by the weather.’ Leolin had found a door that was both affected by moon phases and the weather, but that was one he was still testing to see where he would end up. It was much harder when they were affected by the weather, because he had to wait for specific weathers to happen.

‘It’s in the middle of one of the forested areas and there may be unicorns wandering about. No one needs to worry about them, they will keep all demons a secret, because they believe that magic should be allowed to be magic. The Walkers mostly annoy them.’ One of Leolin’s favourite worlds was Siaral. He spent a lot of time there, when he wasn’t working, because it was much freer that Athare. Athare was the one world that no demon wanted to live on, because of the Council.

‘On nights when there are two waxing half moons visible in the sky above the portal, and it must be the two purple moons, you can step through onto Oracle. Getting to Kniroch’s sibling worlds is something I always wanted to do, so managing to finally find a door that took me to one of them was a real step forward in my research. There’s only one problem. The door on Oracle won’t appear again until the night of two waxing half moons on Siaral, which means knowing the phases of the moon is a must, and I ended up stuck on Oracle for nearly a year.

‘Now I have a better understanding of the moons of Siaral, so I have the freedom to travel to Oracle when I wish to. It’s an amazing feeling, and I made sure to pass on the information to other demons, because it’s a world the Walkers can’t get to. Since I did a demon settlement has appeared, because it’s a world they feel safe on, and I’ve promised to let them know if I find any other doors that will lead to one of Kniroch’s sibling worlds, especially Oracle. I hope I will find more.’
