Eli couldn't believe what he had found. Dyra's disappearance was odd enough, but Skyler magically possessing 3 life sized effigy voodoo dolls after a vision? The mist explained Dyra's problem somewhat, except for the reason it seemed attached to her. It was also the same source of magic that caused the great vision of destruction. It was confirmed Zane was dead after Skyler's magic misfired due to a panic state, burning the vampire to nothing more than ashes. Skyler said that voices from the effigies themselves told him of their great power, but the large tome said something entirely different. He found Selene's drown in the lake, but it had vanished suddenly. Also, with Tam's, it has escaped from the dungeons. The book told him those two were still alive, and the damage done to theirs had been reversed after 2 days.
He hoped someone was around who could help him make heads or tails of the situation, and help them bring Dyra back into existence.

Cassandra entered the library in a daze. In her heart she'd known the truth, but hadn't wanted to admit it. It would take far, far, more than an enchanted effigy to kill Zane, but she'd hoped. Oh, she'd hoped. As she thought about it further she wondered just where Zane had gotten the magic he would have needed to make that terrible vision. Whereever he got it, it must have been much stronger than the magic Skyler used to create the effigies. Hoping to find the answers she'd come to the library. Walking down the rows of books, reading the titles out loud, she didn't notice the man sitting at one of the tables. "Where in the hell does one look for a book that explains visions, effigies, and failed spells all?" she muttered out loud.

"Effigies? Failed spells? Visions? I think we got something to discuss then, seeing as I'm trying to figure out the same things."

Cassandra jumped, startled by the man's voice. Turning around she recognized Eli, having seen him before with Cassiel. Walking over to the table and sitting down she looked at the book he was reading. "Yup, looks like we're trying to find out the same things alright." Taking a deep breath she nervously began to tell him what she'd been experiencing. "Right after the vision, I found Skyler in the dungeon, with an effigy of Tam, what was left of one of Zane, and he told me he'd already done away with Selene's. We defaced Tam's that day, and left it locked in the dungeon, and I DO mean locked." Stopping to take another deep breath, and gather her courage for the next part, she began again. "Since then, I've seen them, ALL of them, skulking around Night World. Even Zane. And I SAW his effigy burned to a crisp! I picked up some of his ashes! And I'm telling you I SAW him, just as I'm seeing you right now, three times!!" Stopping at that, she covered her face with her hands and tried to regain control of herself. Just the thought of ANY of them coming back to Night World sent her into a frenzy.

Getting no response from Eli, she decided she might as well tell him the rest of it. "Eli, I don't think the attack on this town began with the illusion a few weeks ago. I think it began long before. I don't know by who...nor do I know why....that's what I was hoping to find here. If what I suspect is true, though, we're dealing with some very powerful magic. Powerful enough to make strong minds see what isn't there. I realize we have magic just as strong here.....but we're at a disadvantage. Whoever it is knows who and what he's fighting. We don't, " she let her voice trail off, unsure of whether or not she should tell him her suspicions about Zane. Some sense though, told her he'd had his own for quite some time. Maybe it could all be unraveled after all.

"Sorry, I was trying to connect a few things. I talked to Skyler before he went into hiding and he said something was wrong - with his magic. Zane was killed, not just his effigy. Somehow, Skyler's magic was thrown out of whack and panicked, setting Zane on fire. The problem is this is almost like when Kane came here, altering reality. It's exactly the same thing. Yet Kane hasn't been seen either. Also, Dyra is missing, fading in and out of the world." He hoped this story wasn't too confusing, because it would only get worse. "Also, about the effigies, he said he found Selene's drown, and both hers and Tam's just up and vanished. Even though he said you and him locked it in the dungeons. Whatever it is, it sure is powerful, and like you said, we don't know what we are fighting."

"Well, then.....can you explain to me how I saw a burned to ashes person last night? I don't think Zane is dead, Eli...I don't think he's dead....because I don't believe he ever existed to begin with...." Cassandra stopped and waited for Eli's reaction, almost afraid of what it would be.

"I think we all wish we knew what was going on here. Whatever it is, it will soon destroy us if we can't stop it."

"That much I know..."Cassandra let her sentence trail off as she glanced around the library. Kaden had said he was going to meet her here, after all...
As if she'd summoned him with her thoughts, Cassandra saw him come walking through the door.
