"Don't worry, I'm sure someone will hear us soon." Riley slammed both her fists on the bookcase's back.

She did so again and again until her hands began hurting. The girl let out an angry yell and suddenly the ground beneath them began to shake "Whaddya know, it's scared to get yelled at." Before she could give Leila a triumphant grin, she noticed the others staring. "Oh hey guys, funny seeing you here." She flashed a grateful look in Avian's direction. "Thanks for the save, it was awfully dusty in there, tons of rats too."

Harper was just about to respond to Ace when the bookcase moved, revealing both Riley and Leila. "Oh wow...and um, I'd probably cook dinner for the family and all that." He waited for Ace to sit up then stood. "We should probably pool together our clues." He took a step towards the guides then turned to her with a curious expression. "What would you do?" He was interested in knowing. Unlike most of them, she was one of the few who didn't really seem to miss home. Maybe, Nowhere suited her personality more, so when she left this colorful world and went back to their pain one what would she do? He waited for an answer then turned his attention towards the guides.

"We found something from a torn newspaper about the drownings in Yonder." He muttered.

Leon stood up and eyed the others. "Haku and I found stuff about the midnight man. About how only he could get us to the witches." Leon shivered, peeling a couple of spider webs off of his shirt. "Whoever lived here was obsessed."

"You found stuff about the midnight man too?" Riley brightened up, before swinging an arm over Leila's shoulder and pulling her close.

The wind mage arched an eyebrow. "Uh...we did, it was freaky." To this, Haku gave Leon a smug smile.

"We found a way to summon him." Riley grinned from ear to ear and held out an old journal that looked ready to fall apart. "If he's the only one who can lead us to the stone of sacrifice then we might as well contact him, right?"

Harper gave her a look of disbelief. "I don't think that's a very good idea." He looked to Inadi, one of the few reasonable people left in this group.

"If we don't we'll be stuck here forever." Riley flipped through the journals pages and pretty much pulled Avian close. "See this, he talks about the forest being under a curse by the witches and that only MM knows how to find the stone." She sighed, "so you know what this means, right?"

Haku chuckled, "we all die?"

"Yeah," Riley shot a pointed look in his direction. "We get stuck here forever till we rot, so there's only one option." She slammed her fist into her open palm and gave everyone a look brimming with determination. "It's stupid but it's the only way, we're going to be playing the midnight game!"
