Chapter: 548
A gentle knock on the door and Margaret escorted them out of Sullivan’s office.
After the door closed, Sullivan got up and looked around his bookshelf, finding an invisible object there.
He smiled, almost chuckling while shaking his head before putting it back again.
***Where is the eternal book chapter? Well, I had an idea for one but I lost it. I’ll upload it when I grasp it again. I’m not just going to write some vague mysterious garbage with no meaning. Also, sorry chapters have been slow this week, I’ve had some life to catch up on.***
[!]
Jay took out the item from his inventory, attempting to inspect it again – but as it sat in his palm it began to vibrate and move around radically before floating upwards.
“Hey!” He tried to grab it but it accelerated upwards too quickly.
Without a second thought he threw his shield upwards at it, as if he was trying to knock a bird out of the sky, but he simply missed.
The item flying away was the porcelain locket which he found in the ruins near the first pyramid when he first entered the dungeon.
“Dammit…” he frowned.
A skeleton sheepishly brought him his shield as he continued to watch the flying locket.
As it sped upwards, it was releasing some sort of power and left a light blue trail behind it; it flew closely to the white gate as if it was hugging the white gate, but wasn’t quite close enough to touch it.
Suddenly, like a wisp, it disappeared somewhere over the top of the gate, leaving only a blue trail behind it which quickly disappeared too, going over to the other side of the wall somewhere.
Jay watched and waited for a moment, but nothing happened.
“Well shit…” he continued to stare upwards, hoping for something but he felt like he just got robbed..
“What was that?” Anya quizzically asked.
“Oh, some weird locket I found in the ruins near the start of the dungeon. It gave me a strange feeling a few times, so I held onto it. I can’t really describe it…”
“Huh. I guess it was magical.”
“Oh, could it have been magical?” Jay retorted sarcastically, “was it the blue trail of light or the flying that gave it away?”
Anya didn’t say anything, but only looked at him with a frown.
Jay sighed, “Sorry… It’s been a long day and I just lost something… I really just want to get this quest finished.”
“It’s ok. Let’s just try to find a way forward.”
Jay gave her a warm smile back with a nod.
Jay was going to add that the porcelain locket reminded him of a feeling of loneliness, but he decided to leave it at that. While Anya was as close as a friend would be, he considered her as merely an acquaintance – besides, their relationship was merely situational.
“Hmm…” Jay gazed at the large black walls on either side of the gate. They seemed to go in either direction forever. It seemed that there was no way around.
