As I sat down at the table, the Dark One walked to a shelf and waved a finger. Several books moved and floated down into her hands.
"This should be a good start," she said, walking back to me. "Now then let's we have one two more places to go," the Dark One said as she handed me the books.
"Can we walk there?" I asked.
"Unfortunately, no. Where we are going is cut off from the rest of the castle," she replied.
"Oh," I replied, disheartened.
The Dark One touched my shoulder. In the blink of an eye, we left the library and reappeared in the dark room. I felt dizzy and nauseous once more.
From within the darkness, I saw a small orb of light and Dark One illuminated by the orb.
Her hands moved around as the light grew in size and brightness. The dark one then lifted her hand in the air, sending the orb upward. The room was bathed in light, revealing everything.
Looking around, I was in complete awe. From wall to wall was filled with jewels and treasures.
"Now then, let's find you a catalyst," the Dark One said.
