Caleb exhaled as he listened to Ambrose.  He knew it was hard for Ambrose to accept that Caleb still cared about him, they still hadn't known each other long enough for any deep feelings to develop, but it had been a few months since their first encounter, and the kissed they shared, followed by rejection, disappointment, and unpredictability.  There was no doubt that any type of relationship could form after such a horrible start.  Caleb had blocked it in his mind after a long internal struggle.  He realized it was for the best.  Perhaps they could be friends.  Friendship was a good start for rebuilding what emotions destroyed between them.  He blinked realizing he had been in deep thought while Ambrose was talking.  There was a moment of anticipation as Caleb walked over to the table and grabbed the final book.  

"You ready?" He asked Ambrose before opening the book.  "Divine Spirit of the East, come now, grant us traveling mercy to the Amazon Rainforest."

Calling upon his inner power, Caleb spoke the words and watched as energy began to shift and change in the room.  In a blink of an eye, their surroundings changed from inside a library to trees as far as the eye could see.  They were in the rainforest, and it was raining.  Caleb tucked the book in the messenger bag that appeared on his shoulder.  He looked at Ambrose and winked.

"First date not so bad huh?" He playfully said as he closed his eyes for a moment, getting the feel of the noises within the rainforest.  He could hear frogs, loud insects and growling in the distance.  No doubt their entry into the rainforest was unnoticed.  "We better get moving if we want to cover ground before nightfall," Caleb suggested his eyes still closed.  It was as if he were waiting on something.  Then it happened.  He felt it.  There was a pull in his inner power, and his eyes flung open.  Without a word he started moving in the direction he felt the faint magical energy.  It was quite a distance off.  A day or two journey, but he knew it would be worth it to finally get rid of that monstrosity.  He looked back at Ambrose as he moved through the thick rainforest.  "Stay close and keep your eyes peeled.  There's more than just animals to watch out for out here.  Just so you know all the legends are true.  Creatures of myth and lore do exist and won't take kindly to us coming in unannounced.  So just watch yourself, please."
