...
The scout suddenly stopped in his tracks, yet there was no one around. Avius looked around, trying to see if maybe he was hiding inside the shadows, but he couldn't see anything.
"I can't sense him anymore."
Avius's eyes widened as he brushed his long beard with his hand. The scouts could track someone within a specific radius. But not long ago, they were somehow next to him, even after they were tricked. So how could he have escaped if they were following him?
There was no way, at least, not in their world.
"The Infinite Library, but why..."
Why would the Abyss ever retreat in such a place? It was dumb; after all, his whole getaway inside the Withered was that he could hide in the shadows. So did he think that he got away after his trick, and he just wished to enter a book.
Or was that his escape plan? Did he know they were still following him, and to get away, he was going to challenge a story... then, they needed to find him fast.
"This is going to be a long day."
