Evolved Alchemy
-----
The Grimoire opened, as a flash of bright white light rushed into my head. For a moment, I found myself within a different place altogether. I don't know if it was only my consciousness that was dragged inside, my soul, or perhaps this was an illusion, but it was definitely not teleportation.
My surroundings became those of an incredibly ancient library, mostly all made of stone. The books themselves were enormous, their pages made of rough and hard tree bark, inscribed into them using black ink, there were countless runes.
"What is this place? Such an archaic Library existed?" I wondered, looking around.
I noticed Eleanora wasn't here, only I was invited to this strange illusion, realm, or something else entirely. I stopped looking at the book I was grabbing, which was at least twenty meters big, gigantic.
