This chapter continues right where we left off in the temple.

Ellegaard: Would someone care to explain what he is doing here?

You all look in the direction she was facing and saw Magnus with Axel on the other side of the map room. Gabriel noticed you and the others with Ellegaard and decided to make his way towards you all.

Petra: Call this a hunch... But do you two not like each other?

Before Ellegaard could say anything Gabriel arrived.

Gabriel: Ellegaard. My old friend.

Ellegaard faced Gabriel and smiled. She then went in for a hug.

Ellegaard: Boy are you a sight for sore eyes. Maybe with you here we can actually stand a chance against the storm.

Gabriel: *Chuckle* How I've missed your optimistic spirit.

They separated from the hug.

Ellegaard: Gabriel, what's Magnus doing here? Do you know?

Gabriel: Hehe... well...

Lukas: Oh, right. I forgot to mention that Axel, and Gabriel-

You made a few subtle hand signals towards Lukas telling him to zip it. Ellegaard didn't notice the hand signals, but Lukas did... the problem, however, was that he didn't understand the signals and continued on.

Lukas: -made it back here from their adventure to get Magnus before you guys got here with Ellegaard.

You face palmed.

Ellegaard: What?! An adventure to get him? *Gestures towards Magnus* Did you know about this? Why didn't you tell me?

Gabriel: Um...

Jesse: And this... is a problem?

Ellegaard: You bet it is. I will not work with him. Not after... well. Let's not talk about it.

Y/n: Hm? Not after what?

Ellegaard: Look, I don't want to talk about it. I'm not working with him and that's final.

Gabriel: Ellie, you can't focus on the past right now. We need to focus on the task at hand and stop this storm from destroying our world. You don't need to get along, you just need to be willing to cooperate with Magnus until this whole thing is over.

Ellegaard: ... *Sigh* You're not going to stop trying to convince me are you?

Gabriel: No. I am not.

Ellegaard: *Sigh* Fine... I'll tolerate his destructive nature until the world is safe again, but only if he is willing to cooperate and not get on my nerves by calling me all sort of nicknames like "Queen of the Nerds."

Gabriel: That is... acceptable.

Ellegaard: Good... Jesse?

Jesse: Yeah?

Ellegaard: Can you go talk to Magnus and see if he'll be willing to cooperate?

Jesse: Sure, just wait here a second. I'll go see if he's willing to cooperate.

Ellegaard: Much appreciated.

Jesse made her way towards the other side of the room where Magnus, and Axel were. You, on the other hand, stayed with the others.
