Tlnic sighed. "It mentioned something about needing help. I can't remember the specifics. I was too busy trying not to die. However, Xeus and Minuet were there as well. They might remember more than me."

"Where are they?"

"Where are they?"

"As a matter of fact," Talnic said slowly, "I don't know." He turned to Gal. "Have you seen them anywhere?"

Exodus (as Xeus) notified Talnic that he, Ara, and Minuet would be leaving right then and there, and thus they are long gone. He got some massive "I don't care" vibes from Talnic.

I totally remembered that...

Mhm...

Yup.

...

Revised response:

"They left, actually," Talnic said. "I don't know where to, but if needed, I can point you in their direction." He was half hoping the girl would take him up on his offer just so the conversation could end.

"Did they say anything about ever meeting you again?"

"I believe they said something about the possibility we'll meet them on our way." Said Gal, recalling the last comments he heard before going to the library. "Though... my cousin, Sef the librarian, warned me that Xeus is a dangerous man. Just thought to mention it. He - he's their group's leader - said that they're headed to the same place we're going."

Valzwyn covered her mouth and snickered. "Do it. But first we should steal some."

She grinned, ran out without making too much noise, stole two brownies from the middle, shoved them into her mouth, and ran back.

Val frowned. "When I said two brownies I meant one for you and one for me."

"Let's try the invisibility thing," Exodus suggested. "If we get spotted, we can always unleash death and carnage if we have to. These monsters are very territorial."

Memory glided over to where the group stood, and a strange pearlescent-white veil of light fell around them. “It is done. I can not hold it for long. Move quickly.”

Ara scratched the back of her head nervously. “Uh. Well, Memory has been able to make me invisible before. They only did it once, and it only lasted a few minutes. And that was just me. More people could be more difficult.”

"So you could go around."

Exodus turned to Minuet. "Well, how many do you think you could take?"

"Lots. How many could you take?"

Exodus power-walked under the spell, loosely following the path. "Follow," he hissed. "And be prepared for an attack."

Orpheus finally found the Shadow. Zanidar was... pressing his will onto Orpheus's mind, somehow. And Orpheus needed it to stop.

He stumbled out onto the ground outside, moving slowly and awkwardly towards the Shadow. His eyes began to burn a soft violet and he opened his mouth, his voice calling, "MOVE."

Ara almost yelped, but clapped her hands over her mouth before it came out. “Yes. Going. Definitely.”

Gal turned. "Orpheus? What's wrong?"

You should hear Orpheus too. This is anyone who's around, Knight.

Yvris backs off, summoning a pair of fireballs. Something's very wrong with that man.

Gal retreated from the fire girl. 

He turned to Orpheus. "What's the haste? Is it connected to... your problem?"

Orpheus struggled to find words. This quest wasn't his, it was Zanidar's. He hobbled closer, struggling for full control over his own body. Yet he let Zanidar speak through him, with his voice.

Talnic drew his sword, knuckles white on the hilt. "Orpheus, what is going on?" he asked, voice low.
