A.N. Okay, so I'm trying to rush to the ending if you haven't noticed. That's why there seem to be gaps in the story progression (or whatever this constitutes to be).


Chapter 87 - Relic of Knowledge

"Are we ready?"

"Yeah, we can summon her now."

Rudy looked at the Relic in his hands. Raven had brought it to him and the two planned together how to ask their questions. Moving to an empty clearing, the two of them and Metis watched as Rudy whispered the spirit held in the relic.

"Jinn."

The wind died around them. A strange silence filled the air, and Rudy felt someone appear behind him. The three turned to look around and saw a floating blue woman stare at them.

"I am Jinn, the spirit housed in the Relic of Knowledge. Tell me, what knowledge do you seek?"

Raven stepped up to the spirit and spoke curtly.

"Let's get this over with. You supposedly know everything, so you'll know what I'm talking about. My question is this... what parts of our knowledge of Salem's source of immortality incorrect?"

Rudy made sure to have Raven word it exactly as she said it. The duo already theorized what was the source of Salem's immortality, but that was all it was. A theory. Asking the question in this matter helped clarify if the theory was not only correct but what parts of their theory were inaccurate or wrong.

Jinn took a moment to think about it for a moment, before pressing her finger to Raven's head. Raven suddenly collapsed and Jinn spoke.

"I have filled your head on the minute details you got wrong, but I will state this important tidbit out loud. For your plan to work, all four sources must be destroyed at the same time. The knowledge on how to do so is already given."

"Thank you," Rudy said in Raven's place.

Now... for their next question.
