Chapter 30: About the Vortex Realm

The figure was walking with Luz trying to explain the realm. "And this here is my transportation," said the figure.

"Cool," exclaimed Luz. "By the way, you still haven't told me who you are and what this realm is." Luz was expecting an answer. She was hoping it was coming very soon.

"Oh, right," replied the figure. "This realm is the vortex realm or as you humans know it as the 5th dimension."

Luz was curious by the answer. "Wait," said Luz. "The 5th dimension? Isn't that time?" Luz was still curious when she asked those questions.

"Indeed it is," answered the figure. "For my name is Father Time. I know everything through time itself. I also keep the timeline balanced (watch the Loki series for reference). Father Time continued to talk about himself a bit more.

"Since you know everything through time," said Luz. "Can you tell me if I will be stuck here forever?"

Father Time looked at Luz. He answered her question with, "You will be rescued from my realm. However, I can't tell you when that may be."

"Why," questioned Luz. "I thought you said you knew everything?" Luz then facepalmed herself thinking that was a stupid question. But Father Time decided to answer anyway.

"I said I knew everything through time," answered Father Time. "It means that I know what's to come by looking at the timeline. If I were to tell you when you would be rescued, it could alter the timeline and keep you here forever. Now if you come with me I can show you how I see the future." Luz followed Father Time to where he wanted to go. Father Time pointed to what looked like screens. "These here are the timelines of every living thing, human realm and demon realm," Father Time continued. "I'll turn off the visuals for those you care about so you don't see something you may not like and try to alter." Luz agreed to that because she knew that it wasn't a good idea to see the future.

"So, tell me," said Luz. "Where will we wait in the meantime?"

"Follow me to my house," answered Father Time. They walked to his house to wait out the time.

Meanwhile, Amity was still at the library trying to find out where Luz was. There were piles and piles of books next to her. Each one was one she tried already with no luck. However, she wasn't alone this time. Willow, Gus, Eda and King were with her. Belos decided not to help as he had a whole island to recover while the collector was looking for playmates. Camilla and Vee returned to the human realm and try to recover there since Luz was back to normal. "No," said Amity. "Nothing in this one either." She tossed the book aside.

"Here, "said Gus. "Try this one." He gave Amity the book. She looked at the title. She read it as How to travel between realms.

"What an interesting title," said Amity. "Because I thought only titan's blood could make you travel through realms." Amity ignored that and opened the book. She started to read. "This is the right book," she exclaimed. "Gus you did it. Now we can focus on saving Luz."

Amity is on to something. What exactly is she on too? Will anyone else offer to help? Did the collector set this up to help Amity? Find out in the next chapter.
