When Daisy took Olive to make sure he was doing alright, everybody went back inside of Peach's castle.

I was still wondering about the letter the Origami Craftsman wrote to me. It was odd that for me it seemed like blurry nonsense, but Olivia could read it just fine. I decided to run a test.

After asking the Queen where her castle's library was hidden, I made my way over there. I looked around for a while, checking for something that piqued my interest.

I slid a red book of the shelf. It was strangely dusty, as if it hadn't been touched for years, although the others were in great condition. I dusted the cover off and examined it.

There was gold decal around the edges and on the binding. There was a red mushroom on the front. The book itself was odd, because it seemed to be made from a different material than the rest of them; the other books being made of felt and stickers.

Out of curiosity, I opened it. The page I opened on depicted a hand-drawn image of me and the odd book, except it was floating and the pages were glowing.

"Huh? That's odd. There are no words..."

Just as the image predicted, the book hovered out of my hands, the pages glowing brightly.

"Holy Bibliofolds, what's going on?!"

My hand got sucked into it, and I attempted to pull it out with no success.

"Ah!"

I tried to walk against the pull, with no avail. It ended up pulling me in...


"Hello?" A scratchy voice called. "Are you okay?"

I rubbed my eyes and sat up. There was a red Toad standing before me except...

"Aah! Y-you-your-aah!"

"What a warm welcome," they said, rolling their eyes.

"Give them space, Toad. They seem scared." Peach came over to me.

"Who are you?! You're not the Queen! Eeevil doppelgänger!"

"Queen? I'm sorry, but you must have me confused for somebody else. I am Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom." She knelt down to my level. "Hm...you look similar to...I wonder..."

"Wait. Princess Peach? Mushroom Kingdom? Everything is..." I tapped the ground, "odd?" I started laughing. "Of course! I am an imbecile! I got transported to another dimension! Of course! Is this revenge, Dimentio?!"

Peach and the Toad gave each other a look. "Um, I think you might have hit your head...Are you okay, little guy?"

I cleared my throat. "Yes, my apologies, Princess. I am very sorry you had to see me act in such a manner. I have been under a lot of stress lately and being transported to an alternate dimension does not help a bit."

"Oh, I am so sorry that happened to you. Say, where are you from? You look similar to them..."

"I am King Olly of the Origami Kingdom." I bowed. "It may seem crazy or a little far-fetched, but I come from a world made entirely of paper."

"Oh. Oh! I know what you're talking about!"

"Hm? Really? You could get me back home?"

The Princess nodded.

"Not yet, actually," Toad interrupted. "The thing is, when I found King Olly, the book was nowhere to be found! We need to find it first if you want to get back!"

"Oh dear. I'm sorry, King Olly. That could take a while...days? Weeks? The Mario brothers are good at finding things..."

"I will seek them out then."

"Oh, really? I'm not quite sure if you know them..."

"I do." I floated past the Princess, stopping short of the door. "I know them very well, actually."

"That's wonderful! That means they should easily understand your situation and help you get home."

"I hope so..."
