Arvena had gohrough a portal, no doubt about it. Timothy wao go after her to make sure that she was okay, but then he realized how a terrible idea that was, he realized that it would be too dangerous to follow her, and that was what made him resider things! Arvena had read those scrolls for hours before she opehat portal, she repared in other words, and Tim feared that if he charged into that portal ‘heroically’, then he might get vaporized one way or the other because he was severely unprepared. It was simply stupid for him to go in there.

  Tim even looked at the scrolls close by, to figure out what was going on, but it was hopeless. He couldn’t make out a single word out of them, and with that said he simply backed off, he couldn’t get involved.

  “That crazy bitch wasn’t up to anything good anyway,” He tried to sole himself.

  It was great that Tim backed away, because moments ter, that portal started geing a su of some sort. It tried to suck the team in towards it, but the three of them did the smart thing and floated towards the top of the library! They made a good, twenty-meters distance from it, so in theory they were safe now, up here.

  Below them, they ter noticed that the portal actually started moving! Well, it wasn’t moving towards them thankfully, that would be very terrifying ~ It was just spinning in pce.

  This spinning perhaps summoned something, because even though they were airborhe team could feel that the ground was rumbling below them, or around them. Well, they heard it, it was a loud quake of sorts!

  All in the meahe triangur portal had turned into a pyramidic portal, which didn’t make things any less intehe ground was shaking even more violently as a result, and once a portion of the library’s walls caved in, the team started believing that this was the end for them, it could be! They tried to escape, but the o of this pce was blocked already, it had crumbled, so they were stripped out of options almost entirely.

  “Fuck!” Tim panicked, and theched. “I think we should turn into ghosts, that’s our only way out of h---”

  Tim’s words were cut short, because time itself stopped for a sed. All the team saw was a fsh before things were supposed to go to utter shit, but yet this situation failed to escate any further, because there was something more to this fsh, it wasn’t here to cause trouble, no! sidering the current situation, the team needed ahat they could get too, so this was advantageous.

  The fsh came from the portal, and o fshed, all of that scary otion ut to a sudden halt. Everythi quiet after that point, and ohe fsh’s blinding light started diminishing a bliime itself may have started going in reverse!

  One could tell that time had gone in reverse, or something of that divine equivalence, because the library was somehow intact after the fsh went away! They could tell that it was intact, because the walls of the library were no longer caved in, they were all smooth, pretty and g in any challenges! Something divine had happened for sure.

  Trouble went away as fast as it came for whatever reasons, so Tim and his friends were safe now. They didn’t uand what happehey may never uand it, but that did not matter because for the time being, they were simply happy that they were alive! The library walls were supposed to crush them, just seds earlier, so they were just happy that it did not crush them, they survived this too.

  The portal was goerwards, and good riddao it, because her one of them wanted anything to do with it, they never wao see it again. Their very survival seemed too good to be true right now, so yes, they'd rather not see anything that danger ever again!

  Though they weren’t in danger now, things didn’t stop getting weirder. Arvena's voice sounded out from the entrance of the library, somehow, there at the very top. Tim started questioning his own sanity, because he figured that she had died already, in whatever spooky way she had decided to die; He didn’t expect to see her again.

  Tim didn’t expect it, yet her voice ersistent. She called them over, to the exit, ahem there afterwards. It was her, in the flesh, and she wasn’t feeling too expnative from the sounds of it.

  “I should thank you for your help, my guests, even if you were overly-engaging with those disgusting dwarves… more than I would approve.” She expressed, and then she added. “heless, you helped me regain what rightfully belongs to us goblins, and you kept me alive long enough to help me get to the library, which is impressive.”

  “What the hell are you talking about?” Tim asked.

  The fusion he and his friends felt was reasonable. A lot had happened within mere seds, and Arvena here was thanking them as if they all met with the end of some tiresome, decade-long adventure, which was a bit annoying! Her behavior didn’t make any seo them, and it didn’t help how she barely spoke of anything specific!

  “e see for yourself,” She enced afterwards, and further lured the team towards the exit of the library.

  The three of them were still utterly fused by this whole situation, but they followed along heless, because they couldn’t do anything else. They headed towards the exit, and the moment they set foot on the exit’s short corridor, they noticed that they couldn’t float anymore. The spell that Araduli had casted on them, had worn off, or it had beeivated at least!

  Either way, they were doh the scrolls for the day, they coulder the library anymore without risking their own lives. They didn’t pn on going back either, because the greehat was oher end of this short corridor, had gotten a hold of their attentioirely! They could see grass, and as they stepped on the grass, they noticed that they were on a field now, as in, they weren’t some hundred meters uhe ground any longer!

  “What the fuck?” Tim sighed, that was the only thing he could say.

  “Fasating… this isn’t an illusioher, nothing that I could detect, at least.” Skendus then expressed, after his mouth hung upon for a bit too long. “We’re either dead right now, or we may have uimated our pretty guide here. It would take grand magic to teleport aire structure like this, so I think that she has left the god’s punishment realm of mana behind her, somehow.”

  “Your untainted judgment will get you far in life, Skendus, but you’re very wrong about this.” She corrected, “I ’t share too maails with you, because it would dumb, but I say that this ‘teleportation’ was solely achieved under Rempegan Lus’ will, because even he agrees that the library belongs to us goblins! Let those stupid dwarves rot underground from now onwards, for all I care they keep whatever else is left over of our a city. We have the library!”

  There was a lot to process here, and it didn’t make things any less fusing when Arvena spoke as if she was a wise priest of sorts, no, in fact it was really annoying! Tim and the rest knew her as a lustful figure, she lusted over many things, so this titude of hers was disturbing more than it was refreshing, they questioned her attitude! The ey of what just happened felt like a fever dream too, so it was uandable how they still suspected that they had died.

  Iably, the team needed a whole day to rest, it took them hours to accept that they hadn’t died. They needed a bit of time to their heads around what happened, and rightfully so as it had been a fusing occasion, but at some point, they made their peace with reality!

  That whole library was in the middle of the fields now, its teleportation had been very real, and there was no other way to go around this fact! They didn’t care for the library, but they were still beyond fasated by the magical aspect of it all, they were amazed.

  Anyway, the town proved more than hospitable to them in the meahey gave the group food and shelter, and they would be hospitable for ay if need be, because they saw the three of them as heroes! The library riceless.

  The guards had taken it upon themselves to equip the group with proper armain, armor that goblins made. This was far more fortable for everyone involved, because no one wao see anything that was crafted by those molten dwarves! The guards equipped their guests accly, with gear of their individual choosing.

  After that, as far as the team was ed, they could move on with their lives now. They came to this micro universe in order to improve the quality of their mana, and they po do exactly that, by whatever means necessary and regardless of distras. Nothing was stopping them, and Arvena was still to be their guide throughout their search for power, especially now when she felt greatly ied to them for helping her restore the library of Rempegana! She owed them a great deal of gratitude.

  The restoration of the library marked the pletion of any and all tasks reted to the first check-point, there was ing that. They were ready to move on to the sed check-point now, whatever that may be ~ Arvena was to guide them!
