The first thing Suiko did was alert the others; no sooner had the stranger in gold gone then they were back.

Jericho eyed me, then the golden portal. His eyes lit up. “I feel like we missed something. Was this here the whole time?”

“We had a… visit,” Kinara muttered.

“Friendly?”

They looked at me. “I...don’t know. He seemed to be on our side. Was looking out for us, took the item, and left us a route to the monster world. What he called ‘Rumelow.’’’

“No…” Jericho had turned, moving his hands in front of his face. He looked like a madman, but his eyes were moving, and I was sure he was reading. A floating book that only he could see?

“What’s he doing?” Jalee said, indicating the portal. “We going, or what?”

“Give him a sec,” Steph replied.

We did, and finally, Jericho stopped, turning to me, and saying, “Let’s go.”

“Yeah?”

“Rumeloy, was it?”

I thought, then nodded. “Right, not Rumelow. Rumeloy, that was it. Right?”

“Right, that’s what he said,” Jalee agreed.

“The name’s mentioned in a book of magic I have, and it’s specified that there was a man who knew of this place, who used that name, and everything about him points toward him being trustworthy.”

“That’s a relief,” I said, then took Kinara’s hand on one side, Jalee’s on the other. Milrae joined by placing a hand on my back, and the others came with us.

Together, we stepped into the golden light.

One second we were there, the next we were in a dark world that I immediately recognized as the monster world, or what I now knew as Rumeloy. For one, it was the blue plant next to us that gave it away. For another, it was the distant glow of lava surrounding a hill in the distance, mountains beyond. Perhaps the hill we’d been around back then.

“This the place?” Megha asked.

“It is,” Jalee replied.

Before making a move one way or another, I asked, “It say anything more about the man who named this place?”

Jericho nodded. “Only that he seems to appear out of nowhere, has great power, and speaks of things that haven’t happened yet.”

I nodded, figuring we might never truly understand the stranger, but might see him again someday. Maybe I was just hoping.

“To be clear, did he call them nihilists,’ or did I mishear that?” I asked my team.

“I think it was a word that sounded like nihilists. Probably similar, but different meaning. The term used earlier—Nirist.”

I nodded but looked around, confused. “He said this was supposed to take us to their access point, not directly here.”

“On it.” Jericho had his staff up, a strange glow coming through, and suddenly we were staring into a platform that didn’t belong there, with sky surrounding it that didn’t fit Rumeloy in the slightest. Red and orange sky that went out in about a twenty-foot radius from that spot, and a very confused person staring back at us from a standing control panel. Not a human, but a humanoid with a sickly purple tint to his skin. Barely a nose there at all, and thin eyes that reminded me of a twisted version of Voldemort.
