Getting out of one of the most tense and challenging encounters thus far on the journey.

You gathered all of your stuff once Eden exploded.

You pushed the elders Palantir through the secret door, which was this like wall that had kind of moved itself or had been moved by some echinism. I'm gonna say that just to speed things up

to swipe the library card at the end of combat, you had to move the door

closed once more to get that crevice to swipe it and it actually be a flat surface. So you guys have not only created a door to the library

You've shut yourselves into the secret room. Great. Okay. Got it? Good. Cool. Entering the library pocket dimension of Finn Tideshater, his own personal archives, it is once again. You guys, for the first time, we're gonna see this. Very dark in here. Dimm light, if any at all.

It seems like the windows outside that normally you would look through and see the ocean,

it's just darkness.

With maybe a single eel that glows and swims past.

And then another eel swims past that eel in the window

and they begin to swirl around each other.

And then they lock eyes. Oh my God. No, no. Do you want to keep watching out the window or find Finn? I look away, I look away. I'll keep watching. Did this place get corrupted by the Black Sea? You know where he is. Fish caught behind you. What the flop? Where the flop has you taken me? Fishkop, stay behind me. It's okay. This is my grand pipas study.

I'll go see if he's awake, but be careful, everyone.

He could be finishing a new chapter.

And I'll creep down the stairs to that twisted room where his rattled mind writes those sickening stanzas.

Once again, you find Finn in the hole.

Know what that's like.

The amount of books around has, in the last hour or few, at least multiplied by 1.5. There are more than a handful of new books he just he's

probably finished a few times and a few ways oh no oh my i'm not going down there i watch where i

stay is this my grandma's fucking goon. Why'd you ask me like that?

Because it is.

You find him, and he stops riding whenever you begin to approach, and you hear in your mind.
