**The Gateway to the Unknown**
**Scene 28 – "Heart of the Galaxy" – "Dark Clouds Planet" – "Nodía Kingdom" – Spacious Area**
*We left Ray Raad trying to focus on forming the warrior's shield, and it seems he succeeded. He managed to create a shield almost identical to the one belonging to the ruler, Nodbark… but only after exhausting effort.*
**Nodbark:** Well done… that's enough… let's return now.
*As they walked back toward the castle, Ray Raad asked his teacher, Nodbark, a question.*
**Ray Raad:** Master…
*Nodbark immediately paid attention.*
**Ray Raad:** Why is our land, the Land of Warriors, called the "Land of Pulse"?
**Nodbark:** Lie down… place your ear directly on the surface of the ground.
*Ray Raad did as his teacher instructed and was surprised. He said:*
**Ray Raad:** It… it's pulsing… it really is pulsing.
*Nodbark smiled faintly — a smile almost imperceptible, for he rarely smiles. He has principles that will become clear to us later — and they continued on their way.*
