Entering the Book

We entered the book. I didn't want to leave Sarai. Not again, not after what she had been through. My thoughts are dark as I pondered our course of action. This was the only way out, and thus the only way back to her. I don't know what kind of power is toying with us but by Celestia I will have revenge for what it has done to my wife.
 
We entered the book. For a moment it felt like the fabric of the universe was unraveling. Like I was in every place and time all at once. People and places I had not seen and visited in years flashed through my consciousness.
 
When the spinning stopped where I found myself wasn't any better. We were all there together and I found comfort in that. Having my friends at my back gives more courage. I am not alone.
 
I quickly lifted my shufa to cover my mouth and nose and yelled at the others to do the same. The sand is whirling around us and visibilty it limited. But it doesn't matter. I recognize where we are. We are in Karbylos. The Temple Fortress where we cornered the Lich Pharoah at the end. Where my father killed him, and died doing it.
 
This was not good.
