## Secret Meetings

* Before the meeting
	+ Jamie has a claustrophobic nightmare about their time locked in the bunker
	+ Rae receives a note from Strawberri asking for more information about what happened
	+ He takes it to Jamie and tells Jamie that they trust Jamie’s choice on what they tell Momboo
	+ Will debates what would be helpful to bring and debates getting more storage
* Rae, Jamie, Will, and Ghosty meet up at the spot in the swamp. Sherbert is hovering above on an End island looking for them
	+ While waiting, they fill in Will and Ghosty on things like Jamie being locked in their bunker and Sherbert stalking Rae
* The meeting begins
	+ Rae goes over the things that Ominous Bane has done and brings the evidence he took from their Base
	+ Sortbertquake appears to watch
	+ Has an interaction with Will where Will gives them a flower and Sorbert gives them a blue candle and tells Will that they know them. Will doesn’t know what Sorbert is talking about.
	+ The group decides on a plan
	+ Name for the group: Auspicious Boon
	+ Priorities:
		- Get Athena to safety
		- Get Ominous Bane contained/somehow away from others so they can’t hurt anyone
		- Find a way to uncorrupt Ominous Bane
	+ They write a note to Athena from Jamie. The idea is to write it in Ender and Will has the idea to rip out the page of the Warning book and replace it with the note so Sherbert isn’t suspicious
	+ They also assigned tasks to the group members
		- Will and Ghosty are going to hunt for more libraries
		- Rae is going to deliver the note to the Ominous Bane Base
		- Rae and Jamie are going to work on finding if there are any answers on uncorruption in the books they have been finding
		- Auspicious Boon also decides to work on some underground tunnel and comes up with a secret communication method using candles - Red lit candle = Emergency, Yellow = New information, Blue = Meeting
* After they split up, each return home
	+ Rae and Jamie go home and Jamie works on a note to their mother
	+ Rae sneaks back into the Ominous Bane Base to deliver the message to Athena. He plans on leaving it somewhere Athena will see, but instead finds Athena is currently in the Base. He has to be sneaky as Sherbert also shows up and waits until they leave to toss the book to Athena then flee.
	+ Jamie finishes the note and leaves it for Momboo
	+ Ghosty made everyone the message candles and delivered them
	+ Will returns home and hopes they can find a way to save their friends

## Training

* Sherbert trains Athena by fighting them over and over until Athena eventually wins a round

## Danger Lurks

* Sherbert catches Rae out in the open after his invis potion wears off. They confront Rae, pressing for answers about what Rae has been working on and where he has been staying
	+ Rae refuses to tell Sherbert and they engage in on and off combat as Rae tries to leave.
	+ Sherbert pursues and at the threat of killing Rae or harming Athena or the others, Rae caves and leads Sherbert out to the Temple of Creation as he is unwilling to lead Sherbert to his new home or the Auspicious Boon base
* While they are leaving, the two of them are spotted by Ghosty. Finding is suspicious that Rae and Sherbert are together, Ghosty trails after them
* Rae leads Sherbert out to the Temple, trying to think of how to get away from Sherbert while Sherbert sees it as a perfect opportunity to potentially off Rae somewhere where the body wouldn’t be found.
* At the Temple, Rae shows Sherbert what they found there, including another library room. When Sherbert goes inside, Rae rapidly places obsidian to block Sherbert in before running.
* Ghosty intercepts a fleeing Rae and knowing that they can’t outrun Sherbert with their Elytra, he leads Rae to a nearby village to hide
	+ In the village, there is an odd, out-of-place build but they have no time to investigate it. Instead, they run into the village tower, dig beneath it and create a Nether portal to get back home.
* Meanwhile, Sherbert breaks through the obsidian and searches for Rae. They cannot find him in the nearby area and instead return to double-check the Temple. While they don’t find Rae, they find a second library area with a new book titled “Felled”
	+ “Felled” references Fable killing other gods

## The Hunt for the Libraries

* The two check out the new additions to the base including the Mailboxes, Library, Potions room, and meeting table.
* Will says he thinks he has some sort of an idea of where to go, and the two set off. - A short trip away, they stumble across a destroyed library after Will almost falls into it.
* Inside the Library, they find 5 books: The Lady of the World, Soul, Field Sketches, Fabeste: Aether Cadna, and Warning.
	+ The book “The Lady of the World” is another copy of the book written by Ghosty in his previous world.
	+ The book “Soul” speaks of a Goddess who weaves the bonds between souls that cannot be broken by any force in the realms.
	+ The book “Field Sketches” is a field journal with sketches and descriptions including Slime Blocks, Warped Nylium, Endermen, End Stone, and Purpur.
	+ The book “Fabeste: Aether Cadna” is a book of unknown origin, the contents look similar to Latin.
	+ The book “Warning” is a copy of the book left for Athena written by Jamie, with Enderian on the 1st page and English on the 2nd.
* There’s a broken sign at the entrance to the library, with the only legible letters being A, S, I, and C.
* The two take the books from the library, and return to the Auspicious Boon base to drop off the books in the new dropbox Rae put in the library.

## System Reboot

	+ This causes Seven to shut down until Sherb gives them more copper to reboot.
* Sherbert takes Seven out to an open area where many mobs are spawning while giving Seven an update about what has been going on on the server
* A colored version that paints Ominous Bane in a good light
* When they encounter a creeper, Seven asks for clarification if Sherbert would like it killed and when confirmed, the creeper dies suddenly.
	+ Seven says it is part of his defense protocols. Sherbert presses for more information on Seven’s capabilities.
	+ Sherbert asks who made him, but Seven does not know.
	+ Sherbert also asks if he has used these capabilities before and Seven replies with “once”.
* Sherbert formally inducts Seven to Ominous Bane
	+ In the Ominous Bane headquarters, Sherbert takes Seven to the training range. They hit all targets immediately and inform them that they have auto-targeting features.
* Sherbert gives them two tasks: To collect more gunpowder and to watch Athena.
	+ Tells Seven that the second task is for Athena’s own safety.

## Books and Gardens

* Rae and Jamie talk after what happened between Rae and Sherbert. Jamie is upset and concerned for him and Rae agrees to be more careful and tell them when something is happening.
* Together, they go over to the bunker and read over the books Will and Ghosty found. Five books were found:
	+ Lady of the World
	+ Field Notes: A book that Rae had in his lab when it blew up
	+ Warning: The edited version of the warning Jamie wrote, this time with a translation in what looks like Athena’s handwriting
	+ Fabeste: Aether Cadna: Neither of them recognizes the language this book is in, but pick up on “Fable” as well as a few repeated capitalized words.
	+ Soul: This book talks about soul bonds created by the Goddess Soul. Rae and Jamie wonder if a soul bond is strong enough to overpower Enderian’s mind control.
* After reviewing the books, Rae and Jamie split up. Rae to Ghosty’s and Jamie to Soup to meet up with Athena.
* At Ghosty’s house, Rae asks about the library they visited with Will. Ghosty tells Rae of the signs on the wall and Rae recalls similar signs in the library beneath Athena’s home. Together, the letters spell “AKASHIC”
* At Soup, Athena and Jamie meet up.
	+ Athena tells Jamie that Sherbert has been being a bad friend and relays some of their treatment from Ominous Bane.
	+ Jamie takes Athena far out to an old build, far from spawn or anyone that would find them. An empty garden that they work on together.

## Let's Get Down to Business

* Rae reviews his annotations in the new library books and has a few theories.
	+ That books that are destroyed can end up in a library. To test this, he writes a book then burns it. Rae leaves a note for Will and Ghosty to keep a watch for that book in future libraries.
	+ That soul bonds could possibly be stronger than Enderian’s control.
* Rae then works on combat training, learning how to properly fight using a sword by sparring.
* After sparring, Rae checks where the Ominous Bane base entrance is to make sure nothing has changed.
