'It seems that the answer is… time.'

Theron didn't like that answer either. He didn't want to waste too much time here if he didn't have to. The Secret Realm would only be open for a short while, and as far as he knew, teleportation out was instant.

Even if this secret nook of the world was able to save him from that fate, that would actually make things worse.

He had gone through so much trouble to set up fall guys and point eyes in directions other than himself. If he was the only one that was teleported out late, then it would be like flashing up warning signs that he had gotten something that he shouldn't.

The time the Secret Realm spent open wasn't decided well in advance. No one seemed sure of exactly what might trigger it. But normally, it could be anywhere between a week and a month or so.
