Tia walks up to the glass cabinet containing the glass sphere and uses her fire powers to melt the glass. Then she grabs the glass sphere. Purple mist forms within the glass sphere. Inside the glass sphere, Tia watches as the purple clouds of mist dissipates and then she sees herself at the fire kingdom. She sees herself being forced to marry someone. Then she sees the person she actually liked. She watches herself being tricked into meeting the person that she's forced to meet and finally she watches herself murder him and run away. Out of fear, she drops the glass sphere and it shatters on impact, breaking into lots and lots of tiny pieces. A purple cloud of mist flies away.

"Sorry" says Tia guiltily.
"It's okay, it was just the glass ball of fear" says Xander.
"Was it important?" Asks Tia.
"I'm not certain" replies Xander. Xander goes up to the golden idol. It is a small golden statue of a woman. He uses his new god powers to break the glass. Then he reaches out and grabs the golden idol. The idol shakes and vibrates in his hands. Surprised, he drops the idol on the ground. It starts to grow. It keeps growing until it is the size of a normal human being. It starts to move! It's alive! It opens it's eyes and says,
"Hello, my name is Aurelia. I was made to serve my master. The finder is my master. I am yours to command!" Says the golden female statue.

Meanwhile, Daniel uses his elemental powers to shatter the glass cabinet surrounding the book. He flicks through the pages until he yells out to everyone,
"I've found it! I know how to get to the spirit realm!" Everyone crowds around him and Daniel continues,
"It says here that to get to the spirit real, you must defeat the Spirit Mage, and in doing so, retrieve the Spirit Mage's Spirit Staff! We can use the spirit staff to get to the spirit realm!" Says Daniel.
"Okay then, where is the spirit realm?" I ask.
"Uhh... there's a map here. Um... according to the map, we just keep going the way we've been going. If we do that, we'll reach the border of the forest of Clovelia, the Shire, The fire kingdom and then we should find the Spirit Mage somewhere out in the forgotten realm" explains Daniel, before handing us the map.

I'm overjoyed that we'll be passing the shire on our journey! I'll get to visit home! However Tia has different thoughts,
"I don't want to go to the fire kingdom! I have far too many bad memories. I-I... I think I've had enough of this... I think I want to go back" says.
"Don't say that! Tia! We need you!" Says Daniel.
"And what do you mean go back?! Go back where?" I ask.
"I don't know" says Tia her eyes starting to water. Tears roll down her cheeks.
"Tia, what's wrong?" asks Daniel.
"I... I don't feel home anywhere! I have a horrible past at the fire realm, the elven city brought out the evil inside of me and the sacred library is where I'm always alone. Nowhere is home to me" cries Tia.
"Tia, none of those places matter. Do you know why?" Asks Daniel.
"Why?" Sniffs Tia.
"Because, home doesn't have to be a place. Home can be a people. A family. We're your family, Tia and families stick together! No one gets left behind" says Daniel. Tia drys up her eyes with her arm.
"Thanks Daniel, I needed that" says Tia.
"So who's ready to fight a Spirit Mage?" Says Daniel enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, the small purple cloud of mist from before arrives at the realm of dragons and takes it's physical form. It is a stone giant made from the ruins of what's left of the sacred library. It goes up to the hypnotised Ruairi and stares deep into his eyes. Now Hypnotised Ruairi knows exactly where we are and exactly where we're going.

The Hypnotised Ruairi begins hunting us down!
