Forgotten One

Discovery Arc: Coming!

Sarah follows behind Baak with her head down, her whole face was still completely red. She was not even sure where she was going, she only kept pace with her.

"We have the remaining books in a storeroom," Baak says as she reaches a door and stops, "Just like the note said, complete half before you come and finish the rest while you were here."

"Note?" Sarah asks in a bit of a daze, finally lifting her head to greet the older woman's gaze, then looks to the door, "You have completed the books?"

"Yes, all that's left for you to do is to place them into your sub-space." Baak answers right away, she opens the door and walks inside, "There is a lot, it should only take an hour or so."

Sarah followers behind once more and then stop in her tracks, her mouth parted; there were books piled up to the ceiling; she notices Gosselin in the corner frowning about something. He had his phone in his hand, there was some noise coming from it.

"Everything okay?" Baak asks when she noticed his foul mood as well.

"The Elders of Light are demanding for King Éber to come to their Crystal Palace." Gosselin explains not sounding the least bit pleased, "Talks of war is spreading everywhere!"

"Oh dear, this place will be the first to be hit." Baak says looking upset, she turns to Sarah, "Go away and place them in your sub-space."

"Sure." Sarah said quickly and rushes over to the books, deciding not to question this but storing it later in her brain to think about.

She called upon her monsters, summoning them the normal way- her elf and three skeletons appeared and helped move the books, meanwhile, on the other side, her golem and troll moved the piles to one side as they came through into the Soul Room.

'Maybe I can get the shadows to help?' Sarah thinks as she went up a ladder and reached the top of the room, she held her hand over books and went downwards, the books vanished as she did.

"Is it really okay for us to be helping a light bearer?" Gosselin asks the young woman who was looking over his shoulder at the phone.

"We are scholars. We aid those you seek knowledge," Baak replies as she continues to watch, "Be them light bearer or dark."

"Excuse me," Sarah calls from her high up place on the next book pile, the pair looked up at her, "Are we safe in this city for now?"

"We are." Baak answers smiling grimly, "For now, light bearers and neutral may be asked to leave soon though."

"Can I ask why?" Sarah said with interest, she carried on placing the books into her Soul Room, slower now that she was being watched, "I mean, I understand why someone would want their memories, but knowing could risk the whole world's life right?"

"We don't know that." Gosselin answers with a heavy sigh, "King Éber thinks the Elders of Light are hiding something, something about the Forgotten One."

"The Forgotten One is evil." Sarah stated the thing she was told since youth dully, "The bringer of the end of our world as we know it. Someone who died close at the beginning of King Éber's rule. And no one should find answers to it. "

"If this one is 'Forgotten' then how can anyone say that they were an evil person?" Baak questions her firmly, she kept silent for a moment just placing the books away.
