"Undine?"

No answer.

"Sylph?"

Still no answer.

"Salamander...?"

The only response Irene had was silence.

"Shit...G-gnomes?!"

Dead silence stayed.

Irene couldn't think, the room was just black.

"Should I try running?"

Irene looked around, "Nevermind, this room seems like there's no end to it."

Irene looked blankly around the room once again, she found it pointless if she wasted energy on this "dream".

The white-haired girl laid down on the ground and closed her eyes to sleep once again, "Hopefully, I am going to wake up to see the library."

And she drifted to bed...

But when she woke up, she was still there.

"What in the world is going on!"

Irene was frustrated but had to keep her head cool.

She was most likely in the dark place for hours, she couldn't stay put any longer and decided to walk around.

"Let us see if there is anything," Irene sighed deciding to wake around since her lower parts were starting to feel numb.

She brushed off her dress as she stood up and walked straight without doubting where she was going.

Because in the end, she knew this would just be endless.

"So, I do not have contact with my elemental spirits and have been here for at least hours, and I am not even hungry!"

Irene was amazed and cautious about the situation was in, "This place is peaceful and quiet, but it is going to drive my sanity."

Irene concluded her plan, she was just going to walk until she finds something.

She walked and walked, it was like a peaceful walk.

Suddenly, she sees a figure not far from where she was, then Irene blinked her eyes once more...it was not just one, it was two!

Irene felt as if something had punched her gut, she had a bad feeling about this place when she saw them.

"Ralph? Trevor?"

Irene knew it was them, "My lady!"

Ralph ran towards Irene, and Trevor appeared to be shaken to see Irene, "H-how did you get here?"

Trevor asked Irene in disbelief if it was her or not.

"I just took a little nap," Irene sighed, both Trevor and Ralph looked at her in confusion.

Then suddenly clicked in Trevor's mind, "That mage! Is he still alive and fighting?" he asked, Irene looked at him dead in the eye.

"I killed him, well kind of."

Irene answered half-truth and lie.

"What?"

Trevor asked in shock, Irene looked at the two boys and just shook her head.

"You two passed out on the scene and haven't woken up for days because of the mist," Irene told them in a nonchalant tone.

"Really?"

"I just passed out!"

The two answered in sync, "We have been here for so long then!"

Trevor concluded.
