Olly found himself in a library, the shelves high with books hiding every gap between the shelves. Last he remembered, he had told Rosalina about Magic, the King, and the villains, then went home and passed out on his throne without even making it to bed.
He must be dreaming.
He grabbed a book off the shelf and looked at it. That book, strangely enough, was the very one the Origami Craftsman had in his house. It spoke of the Fold of Life. He put it back on the shelf.
"Olly..."
Olly turned to find the Chaos Heart Entity far behind him. The voice didn't belong to Olive, nor did it contain the many voices of the Chaos Heart. It was a single, deep male's voice with a calming tone to it.
"Olive? Is that you? Is something wrong?"
"You need to help us...We're trapped inside the boy...We must get free..."
"Are you the Chaos Heart? Why would I ever help you?"
"Because...we will be very grateful...and you will discover more about your jester...and that's your new goal, right? To help him reconnect with his past?"
"Yes. But how do I know I can trust you?"
"You have no choice."
"Wh-what?"
"We are coming...The boy stands no chance...If you do not help, he will be lost to the Chaos Heart forever...And you don't want that, do you?"
"Can you tell me what I'm supposed to do here? How do I help you?"
"We do not know...But you must help us...and soon...The boy has already fallen under our influence...Tomorrow morning, it will only be us..."
Olly flew closer to it as it spoke, finding its mouth didn't move. It had markings on its cheeks, they looked like scratches or maybe even claws. It held out its hand.
"Please...Help us...Save the boy..."
"Okay, I'll try."
Olly reached for its hand, hesitating; thinking about how everything could go wrong. Olly shook off the thoughts and touched its clawed finger on the very tip.
Olly sat up, heart racing. He found himself in bed, likely put there by Peter of maybe even a member of his Legion. He got out of bed and checked himself in the mirror. Only the tail and wings from the beast were visible this time, which was an improvement from before. Olly ran his hand through his bangs and sighed.
"What did that dream mean? Was it just a dream, or a glimpse into the future? Do I really need to help Olive, or am I worrying too much?"
A thought came to his head. The library. It had the book that helped give him life in it, so would it not have a solution to Olive's problem as well? The question arose as to how they would get there. It was unlike any library he had ever seen in that world. Would it be in a different world and, would Dimentio know where it was located after his traveling through the multiverse?
"I need to go to that library."
