3 days after Elijah helped the Guardians get out of Hell. He was in an elevator going down. One he reached the very bottom floor, the doors opened and two girls in suits. The 3 start walking down the hallway.

Girl #1:Thank you for making it, Lord Elijah.

The 2nd girl brings out a clip board.

Girl #2:Can you make sure to sign here to let us know that you have arrived at the meeting?

Elijah:Of course.

Elijah takes a pen out and writes his name.

Elijah:I see the others are here. This should be interesting.

Girl #2:Good luck sir.

The 3 reach a giant door.

Elijah:Thanks.

Both girls bring out a key card and scan on different sides of the door. It opens and Elijah walks through. As he walked in, the door immediately closed.

???:Bout time you arrived, brat.

Elijah looks up and sees Terra, Yelena, and 2 others sitting down.

Elijah:I had better things to worry about besides playing leader with an old head.

He uses sand to fly up to an empty seat.

???:Tch.

Terra:Thanks for your help with the kids Elijah.

Elijah:It's no problem. They're my friends. I wasn't gonna let them struggle by themselves.

Yelena:Nice to hear they made it out alright. And killed Epiales in the process.

???:If we wouldn't mind, may we get back on topic?

Terra:Of course, Idris. What were we called here for?

Yelena:Yeah, who the fuck do you think you are Xanax calling us all of a sudden. We just had our meeting 2 weeks ago! I'm tryna go back to partying!

Xanax:I'm very sorry for interrupting your oh so precious party time, but something has been brought to my attention...

Idris:And what has that been?

Xanax:The kid has secrets he's hiding.

Everyone looks at Elijah.

Terra:What is he talking about Elijah?

Elijah:I would love to know what he's talking about too.

Yelena:What is this about?

Xanax:All those books he keeps probably in the basement. For all we know he could be learning how to overthrow the Realms!

Yelena:But he's just a kid...

Terra:Elijah would never do that! He's the Guardian of Sand!

Xanax:And you all are just letting him fool you. There are no other copies of those books so he's holding back knowledge of so much that we don't know about! And it's all hidden in places only he knows. How can we possibly trust him?

Idris:How do you plead your case Capo?

The room goes completely silent as everyone awaits Elijah's response.

Elijah:*Sigh*

The boy stands up.

Elijah:Over half those books were written by my father himself during his travels all across the Realms. So if you don't know information about your own Realm that's on you. Besides, this information in my hands is not what you should be worried about. Be afraid of if that information got into the hands of people like you Xanax.
