Once away from Calarrosa, Lorca was able to retrace his steps back through the different tunnels and lakes and chambers and caves to his own world and back to Atesta.
Lorca got back into his village in the dark of night and went to Atesta bedside without anybody seeing him. Lorca knew that while he was in Calarrosa time in his world had stopped so in this world he had only been gone for a couple of days.
Atesta was asleep. Lorca held her hand and hugged her for a long time. He told her that she was going to recover in a few days. He also told her that he was not able to stay but that he would be back soon. He told her that he loved her with all his heart, and that, regardless of what the future held, he would always take care of her. He was not sure if she heard him.
Lorca knew that he had to get back to Calarrosa to carry out the liberation plan he and Marcato had carefully devised. Lorca was a critical component of the plan as he was the only one that knew how to navigate the portals across space and time.
The plan centered around the idea of getting all the underground people through the portal Lorca went through back to this his, 165 years in the future, and then take everybody to the next portal opening up to Calarrosa in the future. He explained that the 3 dimensional map of the old man he met in the desert showed a new portal opening again to Calarrosa 67 years into the future.
The hope was that without the cube and with no water infrastructure to keep the land dry, Partica would not have been able to keep subjugating the people of Calarrosa into the future.
This way the underground people could rebuild a just and equitable society like the one they intended to build when they first arrived to Calarrosa many many years ago.
As he prepared to leave, Lorca decided to leave marks along his route in case something happened. He knew that Atesta would be able to figure things out and follow the marks if things did not go as planned.
So, he put the cube in a wooden box that he started carving when he was a boy. The box showed the paths that he and Atesta had explored together and also the exact location of the first tunnel. Then he decided to use the symbol in Atesta's necklace as a way to show her the way. At the entrance of the first tunnel in the cave behind the waterfall and at the entrance of the different portals and chambers.
When Lorca finally made it back to Calarrosa, Partica's guards were waiting for him at the portal in the fort. They immediately grabbed him and took him to the tall building in the city where Partica was. This was part of the plan. This is how the underground people would know that Lorca was back in Calarrosa.
Partica was hysterical and wanted to know where the cube was. Lorca said the cube was gone and in another world. Partica threatened that he would destroy all the caves in the planet and all the people in them if Lorca did not bring the cube back. Lorca explained that the cube was several worlds away and that the portals connecting these worlds only admitted humans vibrating at a certain level.
Lorca explained that humans that were closer to acting in accordance with the instructions built into their biology would vibrate at higher frequencies. These are humans using love as their prime directive and guiding principle for all of their actions. Because that is who humans were built to be.
On the other hand, humans that are constantly acting in conflict with their true nature would vibrate lower. That is why Partica's guards could not follow him into the portal. Lorca let Partica realize that he and his people would not be able get through the portals and go where the cube was so he devised a plan to bring the cube back to Calarrosa. And the key to his plan was Lorca.
Partica locked him up with no water or food in a cell that would go from excessive heat to freezing. Now, it is known that this was the time when Atesta first felt that his father was in trouble and that he needed her. This is when Atesta embarked on her quest to find her father. With the cube in her satchel.
Unbeknown to Partica, the plan was working. The cube was being brought back to Calarrosa.
