"No, we have other ways," you say. "Though, it will mean letting someone else know what we're up to."

"Who do you mean?" Raven asks.

"The young Druid that's here," you say. "Roberta Rivers. She's much stronger in the Druidic arts, and should know a way around a Spirit's seal. Especially of a Spirit as selfish and sneaky as Tol."

"Yes, we have had much interaction with the young Rivers heir," Udwa says. "She is extremely talented, and could rank even among the great Druids of history."

"But we need to make sure she'll keep the secret," you says.

"Actually, wouldn't the real problem be Rhodes?" Raven asks. "You weren't kidding when you said she's really competitive with Rivers."

"We'll have to find a way to get Rivers away from Rhodes," you say. "I doubt Rhodes would tell everyone what's going on, but the fewer people who know, the better."

"Don't worry about that, Seventh Rorek," Uidre says. "Roberta Rivers has a continuous link with the Spirits, so we could easily contact her and have her come to the library."

"Really?" Raven asks. "That's pretty impressive. How does she do it?"

"She has our diagrams tattooed onto her body," Faraera says.

"But I didn't see anything on her when we were at the lake," Raven says.

"That's because it's done with ink that only appears with mana," you explain. "She's likely covered in them, but they're all invisible."

"Whoa," Raven says. "That's dedication to being a Druid..."

"I'll contact her through my seal on her lower back," Uidre says.

"So she has a tramp stamp for 'water'?" Raven jokes.

You give her a snide smirk.

"Sorry," she shrugs and smirks back.

Uidre floats closer to the door but remains quiet. A couple minutes pass before she floats back over to everyone else.

"She'll be here in a few moments," she says.

"Oh I get it," Raven says. "You didn't need to leave the room because of the link. Like when I was training with Rorek, and we had two copies of the same seal, it allowed the same Spirit to be in two places at once and share information with their link."

"Precisely," Uidre says. "You're very bright."

"Thank you."

A moment later, there's a knock on the door. You walk over and open the door.

"Hello, Rory," she smiles softly.

"Hello, Roberta Rivers," you say. "Please come in."

You lead Rivers over to where everyone is gathered.

"Greetings, Roberta Rivers," the spirits all say.

"Greetings, Uidre, Udwa, Faraera and Paeshae," she replies. "Oh, what a long list of Enchantment seals."

"Yes," you say. "And we really only need help getting past Tol's. He wasn't willing to help us without something selfish in return, but it turns out he was needed after all."

"You probably should've done what he wanted," Rivers says.

"Really?" Raven asks. "But he wanted to do stupid pranks. We can't waste time when there's all this to get through."

"Well then you really should've worked with Tol," Rivers says. "He's pretty good at getting through other spirits' seals."

"R-Really?" you say.

"Of course. He's mischievous enough to be able to pick locks, and that includes Enchantment seals. He's useful when there's a spirit you aren't familiar with."

You stare blankly into space, but you can tell Raven slowly turns her head towards you.

"Did you know he could do that?" she asks you.

You slowly shake your head "No."
