"I saw something in my dream last night," Olly explained. "It was a library of sorts. And the book about Fold of Life was in there. I think our best bet right now would to be to check the book and see if it was bought from a library system."

Peter held it out. "Is that why you asked me to bring it? I just thought you wanted to read it again."

Olly accepted it. "The thing is, I think the Chaos Heart talked to me last night as well."

Dimentio flinched. "W-what? The Chaos heart talked to you?"

Olly nodded. "Yes, it was asking for help. It wants me to help it, but wouldn't elaborate. It did tell me that if I didn't do something, then Olive would be lost to the Chaos Heart forever. And none of us want that, do we?"

Olly checked the inside of the book. It held the publish date, area, and author, but it never told if it was from a library.

"Father, how did you get this?"

Peter tapped his chin. "Well, I got it from my mother, who said it was an heirloom. But I don't know where she or the rest of my family got it from."

"Hm...Knowing that Sandi made Fold of Life, she's likely the one who wrote this. But the name in here says Laybelle Shepard. Maybe it's a pen name to hide her identity?"

Fawful clapped his hands together. "We should do a checking of the libraries for the Laybelle!"

"Oh! That's actually a great idea. See? This is why you're my advisor. Fawful makes a good point to check the library systems for Laybelle Shepard. Maybe we can find something there?"

"I think we should do more than the libraries," El said. "We should check the internet. Maybe it could give us a clue about if Sandi really is Laybelle or not."

"True...You're all dismissed. I'll start searching right away. Dimentio, Fawful? Could you two head up to Shangri Spa and start looking there? They're heavily connected to the Ancient Ones, so they should know anything about Sandi."

They bowed and left.

"Father, can you head home and check more of your books for a Laybelle Shepard? If you have more that connect to this one, written by the same person, then that would be a big help."

"Got it. Oh, and Olly?"

"Yes?"

"You're doing a great job at being a king, and a son."

Olly smiled. "Thank you."

Peter left.

"El, I have a special job for you. Can you come with me, please?"

"Uh-sure." El flew a bit closer to the throne.

Olly stood, and lifted from the seat. He went down a hall, El following close behind.

"So, I told you about my dream last night, right?"

"Yeah...It sounded pretty creepy to me."

"Well, that night I visited Olive. Nothing was wrong with him then, but I'm glad I took action when I did." He opened a door and moved aside. "Go ahead."

El slowly entered, and Olly shut the door when they were both inside. Olly turned on a light. The Chaos Heart Entity responded right away, slamming its entire body against the forcefield.

"You can't keep us trapped here forever, Olly...The shield will break, and your Kingdom will fall..." It clawed at the barrier.

Olly frowned. "El, I need you to keep an eye on it while the rest of us start searching. You're light magic, right? If it breaks out, you should be able to keep it at bay. It's quite the job. Are you up for it? If not, I can find someone else or do it myself if it comes to it."

El watched it back from the barrier, then began trotting around the forcefield, possibly waiting for somebody's guard to drop so it could attack.

"S-sure? I mean, I can try. But I'm sorry if I-"

"Save it. I'm sure you'll do a great job, that's why I chose you."

"But, I'm a coward, Olly!"

"Then this can help. Luigi's a coward, but I don't see him running away with his tail between his legs."

"True..."

"At least try? If you start getting too stressed out, I can find somebody else. I just need somebody to keep an eye on it that can also fair against it if it were to ever break out of there."

"But wasn't Magic able to break the shield?"

"That's...what I'm afraid of. Look, El, my friend is in there. If we don't help him, there will be nothing left. I'm scared I'm going to fail, and Olive will die. But despite my fear, I'm not letting it hold me back. You don't need to stop being afraid, but sometimes you need to face your fear and keep pressing forwards. You understand now?"

El nodded once. "Y-yeah. I'll try. I don't want Olive to go away, because then I'll feel like some of it will be my fault."

"It won't but I know how you feel. Take care, El." He left.

"Yeah..."
