Far away from the Capital City.
Grey and his friends looked at the portal they used in entering the Gnome world. They've been here for a few weeks, and although it was dangerous, with Grey's ability to control people, it was actually very safe to stay in the Gnome world. If not for their inability to use puppets, Grey didn't mind building a large influence in the Gnome world and eventually usurping the throne. The best way to crush such a dominant empire is from the inside.
