“Well, it’s a Void creature,” Rival starts with a frown. “I didn’t even know that it was possible.”
“Guys, I found the book,” I repeat.
“Wait, the Leabhar Nam Marbh?” Reaper asks. “You’ve found it?”
I take a breath. Things are getting a little bit twisted, and if I don’t slow down, then I’m not going to be able to explain it properly, and everything is going to take even longer.
“Yes. Laikynn told me that he knew where it was, but he couldn’t tell me how he knew or anything else other than its location,” I explain. When they all look at me expectantly, I continue, “He told me that the Godfrey family stole it, and that it’s been passed down through their family for generations since they first stole it fuck knows how long ago.”
“Wait, Godfrey?” Rival asks, making the link before the others.
I nod, “It’s in my father's house.”
“No fucking way!” Loki exclaims as he sits up straighter.
“I definitely didn’t expect that,” Mayhem agrees.
Zev opens his mouth to say something, but before he can, his eyes turn white. “We need to head out and get it as soon as we can. It's not safe at the house.”
“Does Farren have time to shower first?” Mayhem asks. “I’m not sure it’s a good idea for her to be walking around looking like she does and covered in the blood of an unknown creature.”
“That’s a good point,” I reply as I look at Zev questioningly.
Zev frowns slightly. “You can, but it needs to be a quick one.”
“I can do that,” I reply as I head toward the door to my room.
“Wait, Farren, is the Void working how it’s supposed to now?” Reaper asks. “We’re going to need it to get to your father’s place. It’s going to be difficult to explain to the Headmaster why we want to leave, and not have him think that it’s something frivolous if we were to ask for permission and take the horses. Plus, from what Zev has said, we need to get there quickly.”
“I managed to create a door to get me back here, and I got into the Void with no problems. So, I think so, we can try. What about Hades and Khaos?” I ask.
“Let them know that we’re going to your father’s place and why. We should be fine without them though, we’re only going to get the book. Once we have it, they can meet us back here, and we can all go through the book together to see if we can find how we’re supposed to enter this realm,” Storm suggests.
“Sounds good. I don’t want them to have to leave the Underworld if they don’t need to,” I reply.
“Exactly,” Kill says. “We’ll prepare some stuff to take with us just in case. Will there be any staff at the house that we need to talk to?”
I shake my head, “I doubt it. No one was there by choice, not really, and they would have taken off as soon as whoever was investigating my father's death cleared them to do so.”
“Well, at least we don’t have to worry about that then,” Rival says.
“Give me five minutes and I’ll be back out and we can go,” I say.
As soon as I get into my bedroom, I open the bondlines to Khaos and Hades.
“I’m really sorry to bother you guys,”I start.
“You could never bother us, Ren,”Khaos replies immediately.“Hades is in the middle of something, but he will be listening, and I can fill him in if he misses anything.”
“No problem,”I reply, and then go on to explain what’s going on and where we’re going.
“Okay, be careful, and if you need us, just send a message through the bond link and we will be there immediately,”Khaos replies.
“I will. I’ll let you know when we get back, and if you’re free, then we can go over it,”I reply.
“Sounds good, Ren.”He replies,“Things are quite complicated here, so we may not be able to make it, you might have to read it without us.”
“No problem,”I reply.“Stay safe, and let me know if you need us as well.”
