Worlds Apart

Even though you're nervous, you decide to stay in the library. After all, there's not much else you can do. The thought of just going off and leaving makes you feel... well, strange; as if small creatures are moving around in your stomach.

You sit down at the desk, opening one of the books - although you are hardly paying any attention to what you're reading. The presence of the Guardian is an obvious one at your shoulder, but it no longer feels as menacing as it did.
