Sef sighed. Sometimes you just have to be blunt. "It means he's dead." He said. "And there's nothing you can do to bring him back to life. There are people - necromancers - who can, but not without harming themselves, and even then there's no guarantee that the Ideal aspect or the spiritual one will fully return."

"He's not breathing." Said Sef. "His Ideal and Spiritual aspects are no longer connected to his physical self, and that is irreversible." As he spoke, he felt for the boy's mind in the Ideal Realm.

Sef looked at the boy. He pulled his head out of the bag and checked around his nose for breathing. He looked up and said gently, "Mistress Valzwyn... Young miss... I'm afraid that the boy is past helping." @S4S

Sef, Gal and the ghosts entered the tower, accompanied by Orpheus. While they were on their way, Gal said: "We probably should go to tell the Shadow of what happened. We left him in the woods." Sef nodded. They entered right after Cara, who was carrying a small child in her hands. Sef stopped. "I didn't see you nor your friend being attacked. Is he hurt? If so, what from?" Gal was too tired to talk, but he sat down near the entrance, curious to hear what Cara has to say. He thought he saw the boy - a small child with a bag on his head - just for a glimpse, a while ago.

I'm never sure about it. Isn't it at the 21st? And... Well, I guess I do dislike it when it's too cold, but I don't like heat much, either. TPBM watched Brother Bear 2.

How dare you accuse me of such blasphemy?! TPBM noticed the fact that yesterday was the longest day of the year.

Sorry, no. Not on the internet. I'm learning a little Kabbalah - through Chassiduss, mainly. But what happened to "אין מזל לישראל"? Why should anyone care for zodiac signs? It's directed to @Kingsdaughter613 as well. TPBM has read and liked the Underland Chronicles series.

Does the Socially Awkward Bookworms one count? TPBM agrees with me that politics cause many of the world's problems. (I had a better way of saying that in Hebrew, but I'm not sure it's translateable.)

Well, not really. Though I know more than one person who does. TPBM enjoys the summer vacation (which didn't start yet in Israel. Though even when it'll start it'll have no effect on me).

No, I don't. Though in about two months I might have up to seven in my house, none of them mine. TPBM has read a book by Diana Wynne Jones.

Sef examined him and shook his head. "You might be healing, but you still need a better place to rest. I'll call the ghost servants to bring you in. Oswald!" He called. Oswald got out of the tower and said: Busy. Cleaning mess. What you want? He sounded a bit annoyed. "We only need two of you to come out and carry the boy. He isn't completely feat for walking - maybe a little." A short while afterwards, a gust of wind got out of the tower and supported Orpheus, helping him stand and walk to the tower. Gal walked after him. He was able to walk without help, but he knew he needed rest.

"I'm not as sure about that... Scadrial is a lot like earth, with the main differences being the Metallic Arts, Kolos, Kandras and mistwraiths. It can be interesting, but it won't affect the cooking or school books, at least not by much. History, on the other hand..." He goes to the history shelves and takes a book about the history of the world after the Catacendre. He then gasps as he thinks of something and goes to the main desk. "Yes, I'd like to aquire a library card. Also, can you tell me where I can find a copy of The Words of Founding?"

It might be. I know from personal experience that it can be hard to learn from home, and online classes don't make it better - at least not by much. There probably are stupider things in the world. TPBM has watched at least one record of a Musical on YouTube in the past year (I blame @Tesh for the last one I've watched, though I did watch two other musicals in the past year).

You should've seen it coming... Though you're a Shardbearer now. I'm in the Cobalt Guard. All I can do is hope I'll become a Windrunner someday... Which won't happen.

Hoblim looks up. "If you want," he tells AmazingGoob, "I'm still curious as to from where you'll start. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to find interesting books around here."

Sef looked at him, concerned. "Let me have a look at you. I have basic medical training, and you don't seem to be very well." @Tesh

Hoblim almost turns around at the Alcatraz reference. After a moment of thought he keeps going up, but notes to himself to ask Trésor about Brandon's non-Cosmere works. He wonders over in the library, and eventually end up in the prose section, reading a fictional roman about people during the days of the Final Emperor. He closes the book after a few pages, disgusted with himself - and the author - and makes himself go to the more scientific portion, to read some essays by Khriss, or something from Silverlight.

"By slowly, do you mean at the regular speed of physical entities' healing, or quicker but still slow? Anyway, when you feel better, I'd like to discuss with you about some things." Sef looked at them. "Would you like me to call the ghost servants to lift you into the tower? They can get out from the tower to a circle of twenty feet diameter." Gal looked up. "No, I can walk. Orpheus, what about you?"

Hoblim folded his map and put it in his pocket, and then climbed the stairs to the library. He... wasn't sure what he was going to read. He usually went to fantasy, but, well, up until three days ago he thought Scadrial was fantasy. He decided to just try to search for interesting books, about history or Realms and Investiture.

Oswald was on his way to the guest, but he saw that Mistress Valzwyn found him first, so he returned to his duties - to tidy up the tower. He summoned the other ghosts to clean the corridor with the rubble, but there was only so much he could do about the hole in the wall. ____________________________________________ Sef got out of the tower and got to Gal, who was busy collecting his notebooks. "Young G.," He said, "can you explain what happened here? What were this rock and that orange creature about?" Gal looked up. "We," he said, waving his hand toward Orpheus, too, "were attacked by it. It appears to be a kind of entity that calls itself a demon, by the name of Alaxis. It has some representation in the Ideal Realm - in addition to, of course, the physical one - but it seems that's not where its power comes from. About the rock..." Here, Gal seemed embarrassed. "Well... It appears that I've underestimated the amount of Physical Ire coalescing around here. I'm still very tired, but it was surprisingly easy. And by the way, I need to leave with you a message to R. I'll write it right after I talk to Orpheus here. Last I heard of R he was in Dayth, so you should send it there, if you can." Gal put the notebooks back in his bag and dragged himself to Orpheus. "Are you all right?" He asked. @Knight of Iron

Gal stood, stopping his Harvest. "It... Appears to have retreated. Though it still exists, at least in another realm." He could still feel it in the Ideal Realm. __________________________________________________ Sef looked out of the tower again - only to see the creature gone. He ran out, to ask young G what had happened. ____________________________________________ Oswald threw the smithereens out of the hole in the wall, then made a sound of annoyance. Great. Now have to fix hole.
