#book of knowledge

And just like that… the catacombs are closed, the book’s gone, and somehow, we’re all still standing (barely).

Who would’ve guessed our cursed little scavenger hunt would lead to actual magic, a half-mad professor’s redemption arc, and me—Lucky Fortuna—finally being taken seriously. (Okay, semi seriously.)

To the crew: thanks for trusting me even when I led us down the wrong corridor—twice. To Iris: we’ve got a long road, but I see you trying. To Professor H: still side-eyeing you, but Nonna’s forgiven you, so I guess I can too. Just don’t make me cry at Archi’s, I swear.

The book may be ash, but the bonds? Solid. What started as a wild goose chase became something way bigger—our first real adventure. I’ve got a feeling it won’t be the last.

To everyone who followed the chaos: grazie. You made this ride even better.

Until next time (and there will be a next time),

— Lucky

“Thoth? Thoth! Thats not too bad. Some people have super long names, and they’re so hard to say... like... uh... try-den-mire. But yours is short! I dunno what the other word mean.” Book’s glow seemed a little brighter, and Yuumi just sighed and rolled her eyes, clearly not caring for what Book was trying to communicate to her.

“Oh? Questions? Sure!” She jumped off of Book, about to open her mouth, and--

Book already hovered in front of the person, opening wide to a page that seemed to primarily speak about Shurima’s history relating to the Spirit Realm and Bandle City. Yuumi, however, was perplexed.
