The Sorceress Timeless Prison (updated version )

Elara always suspected the map she carried had more confidence in itself than the terrain deserved. But when she steps into the Enchanted Forest, she discovers that reality doesn't just surround her-it considers her.
After stumbling upon an ancient tome that "traps reality itself," Elara and a ragtag band of misfits-including a skeptical cat, an inventor whose gadgets can't decide what day it is, and a Fox of Many Tails-are swept into the Timeless Vortex. Their destination? The parallel dimension that serves as the involuntary fortress of the legendary Sorceress Helena.
To stop a Cosmic Threat that hiccups star systems for fun, Elara must recover five artifacts of immense power: Strength, Wisdom, Foresight, Transformation, and Harmony. But in this realm, power comes with a catch as annoying as socks disappearing in a washing machine. Guided by the Guardian Council (a group of talking animals who prefer philosophical debates to combat), Elara must learn that the key to freedom isn't a door-it's the removal of the need for one.
Expect Pythonesque levity, sensory-driven magic, and a journey that will expand your consciousness one ridiculous chapter at a time.
