Suddenly, there's loud, massive rumble that shakes the very ground they're standing on...
Cries of fear and confusion fill the air as the ground shakes once more, and again.
"The Gatewatchers! They're moving!" Someone yells. And indeed, the aspiring demons can see the massive figures of the Gatewatchers slogging through the wastelands.
Slow and steady they go, their weapons gripped in their arms, moving to one end of the wasteland. They stop at a point, and two of them slam their swords point-down into the ground, marking the spot with an earth-shattering crunch. Then, they pull the swords out and lay them down onto the ground before raising their arms and chanting in a voice that sounds like the sound of a thousand rumbles of thunder rolled into one. So ancient and powerful are the words, that they send shivers up the spines of everyone in range, making their hair stand on end.
Two more Gatewatchers slam their staffs into the ground, letting out another earth-shattering crunch. They too raise their arms, joining them with the remaining two Gatewatchers, who slam their sceptres into the ground. The sceptres glow yellow with power, as do the spiderweb cracks on the ground. They start chanting as well, words of power filling the air and making it vibrate.
Huge blocks of stone etched with glowing yellow runes start to float up from the ground between the four Gatewatchers, before being magically called over by the two Gatewatchers with the swords. They start to lay the blocks of stone on top of each other, building a giant archway.
"A portal! They're building a portal to another realm!" Someone from the massive crowd that had gathered to watch yells.
Almost an hour later, the archway of the portal is complete, and one of the Gatewatchers walks over, carrying a triangular shaped block, which it slowly lowers into a triangular slot at the top of the archway. The runes flash a blinding green, before turning black. Slowly, a portal shimmers to life before their eyes.
"Fucking hell... Never thought I'd see a portal being created..." Someone nearby mutters.
Then, the Gatewatchers pick up their weapons once more and move away from the portal before getting to their knees in a rough circle. With that, they again start to chant words of ancient magic, and the ground within the circle starts to rumble.
Space seems to distort inside the circle as a humanoid figure starts to rise from the ground, glistening wet, as if it had just taken a bath. Slowly, another Gatewatcher, identical to the others, starts to form, along with a sword.
Finally, after half an hour, he stands before them, complete. Then, he opens his electric blue eyes and looks around curiously, taking in the glowing city, and barren wasteland for the first time.
Some of the demons are already crying from sheer awe, whereas others are cheering and whooping. Most of them just have their mouths and eyes wide open, some with cameras in their hands.
As one, the Gatewatchers turn to the city, speaking into all their minds at once.
"Here lies the Portal to Kal'Droon, realm of the harpies and canines. The Absolute God has commanded this, and we obey." They say in unison before walking back to their normal spots with more earth-shaking steps. The new Gatewatcher tilts his head at the city one last time before picking up his sword and walking to the new portal, creating a seat beside it before sitting in it.
