Within a few days, Sha'uri had erected two portals on school grounds for public use between school grounds and either the City of Exodii on Exodii Planet or the Citadel of Mysteries somewhere on the same planet. Both portals functioned by one word command, that of the name of the destination desired, either Exodii or Citadel. A plaque was posted with instructions.

Those on the other side coming through to the school needed to only speak North for the front gates and South for the barn area.

~As you enter through this portal, Speak Exodii for the City or Citadel if that is your destination. Upon your return, speak North for front gate and South for the barn. Do not speak of more then one as you pass through in either way or it won't work. Good luck and happy travels!~

The First Portal was within the boundaries and near to the front gate of the school grounds. She placed the portal within the newly fashioned trellis adorned with oak leaves formed in the woven pattern of various metals. A newly built sidewalk was laid leading from the trellis over to the original walkway at a slight angle, connecting with it about halfway to the front door.

There was a good ten yards between the trellis and the gate so that there was no mistake about using it. The fence was right on the other side of the trellis making it impossible to pass through the trellis to the other side of it. Nobody would attempt to walk through it because of the wall on the other side. Dead end is what it would seem. Only those knowing it was a portal would have cause to use it.

The Second Portal was a larger version wide enough to allow wagons to pass through. It was located on the side of the barn, just like the trellis near the front gate. It would appear to lead right into the side of the barn. Nobody in their right mind would try to go through unless they were using the portal as it was designed.

She also made her private portal in her quarters somewhere, but that was reserved for those on a need to know basis....

Outside the front gates ...
To the East by about fifty yards was a landing pad big enough to allow two shuttle craft to land comfortably... three if crowded. A sign signified a caution.

~Caution! Shuttle craft landing pad! All others stay out!~

To the West by about ten yards was another landing type pad surrounded by five foot posts connected by rope .... except for a twenty foot wide space open on the side closest to the gate. A plaque hung from one of the posts with the open side.

~Caution! Schimmerscale landing pad! All others stay out!~

Next to this area, North of the Schimmerscale pad was another identical pad. It, too, had a sign posted.

~Caution! Flying Creatures Landing pad! Take turns or else!~


After all that work, Sha'uri smiled, shifted her form to dragon and made her way to finish some work at the Schimmerscale's place.....
