"That...that would be nice...." That's the last thing Recin said before he fainted. Wendigo was already sleeping in the floor.

The sentinel carried all the way to the Advisor's personal chamber, which was upstairs and not that far away from the Watcher.

Both of them later woke up sharing a bed in a nice, small room.

"What?" Recin woke up looking around. He saw Wendigo next to him sleeping."Guess it wasn't some crazy dream..." He woke up Wendigo. "Come on we have to go!" Recin said leaving the room. Wendigo reluctantly followed.

"Let's go up!" Recin said. Wendigo stopped him. "No we should go down...we have time...let's find out what secrets lie underneath.." "I don't know... enlightenment can drive me mad... especially in a place like this with powerful mages.." "please!!! Please...please!! please!!!!" "Fine..." Recin said going down.

All the way down was a door that simply read 'Library'.

"See.. nothing maddening here. Just a library." Wendigo said following Recin inside.

It was small, compact, but what it had was neatly categorized,, from fire, ice and lightning, to healing, necromancy and becoming a lich.

A few books were even written by the Watcher.

The book was cold to the touch. 

The first page was a long, long warning about how being turned into a lich is dangerous, taboo and shouldn't be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime.

It then assumed that Recin had an experience with how souls work and how to extract them or keep them bound to the body.

The next few pages described how to disconnect a soul from a body, but maintain a connection. The trick was to leave a miniscule part of the soul in the body, while the rest was somewhere else.

The tools to do the deed were pretty rare, as only a few enchanters knew how to create weapons that hurt the soul and not the body.

Recin's face looked sad. "I might need help for this after all...but I dont think I know anyone with soul hurting tools."

The book offered no example where to obtain said tools or even someone who had them.

Recin sighed. "I'll figure it out. I really want to be a lich." He said closing the book. "Maybe there's another book.

There was just one book about liches; the rest were books in the same category, but written by the Watcher and with odd names. Empyrea, Viligance and Mortality: The One Weakness.

"What are these books about?" Recin took one and started reading it.

Apart from the first page, which was already an unreadable word salad written by either a psychotic toddler or someone with a lot of missing screws, the rest was written in runes.

Written with a dark green ink instead of black one, it was still written quite oddly.

The Watcher described in great detail about how the idea of Empyrean magic – empyrean being a very old way to say final – came to him in a dream. Every magic he knew about combined, overlapped and the result was a green fireball.

He then spent decades studying if such a thing even exists; fire that burns fire, fire that burns even in water, fire that can't be put out...

"Fire that won't burn out? Insane...I saw that green fire from the advisor!" "Found something interesting?" Wendigo asked. "Yes..."

And eventually, the Watcher found what he was looking for.

Empyrea.

Burns almost everything; chills what it can't. As it isn't part of all the known magic, nothing is immune or even resistant to it.

But it comes with a terrible price. Normal magic exhaust the user, but Empyrea is fueled by user's own soul and when there's nothing left to take...

The Watcher did not go into detail and deliberately avoided bringing that up, instead of describing again what it can do.

"Even I'm not crazy enough to use such make if it costs my soul." Recin said closing the book.
