Chapter 54

In this chapter, Adikor and his companions witness the unexpected arrival of Ponter Boddit, who has crossed from his own world into the Gliksin world through a mysterious gateway. Despite the challenges of the gateway's precarious physical setup, Ponter successfully climbs through, reuniting with his family and friends. However, the gateway closes abruptly when Ponter accidentally severs the cable sustaining it, permanently separating the two worlds once again.
