Chapter 4 Whisper of the unreach

The celestial journey of Eldred, Oliver, Lily, and the prophetic being continued through realms untold, the cosmic map guiding them toward the elusive ancient scroll. The tapestry of celestial wonders unfolded around them, a kaleidoscope of ethereal landscapes and cosmic phenomena.

As the emissaries traversed the celestial highways, their path led them through the Cosmic Haven-a realm renowned for its celestial inns and cosmic rest stops. Eldred, ever mindful of the cosmic currents, steered the group toward a whimsical inn known as the Starry Retreat.

The Starry Retreat, nestled within the cosmic expanse, welcomed travelers from across realms. Celestial melodies wafted through the air as cosmic beings engaged in jovial exchanges. The innkeeper, a celestial bard with a penchant for melodious banter, greeted the emissaries with a cosmic tune.

Eldred, Oliver, Lily, and the prophetic being found themselves immersed in the celestial ambiance. The jester from Serendel, ever the playful companion, joined in the cosmic merriment, adding a touch of whimsy to the journey.

In the midst of the celestial revelry, the emissaries encountered a cosmic comedian-an otherworldly jester who wove jokes with the very fabric of reality. The cosmic comedian, with an otherworldly wit, engaged in a humorous exchange with Eldred, Oliver, and Lily.

The comedic banter echoed through the Starry Retreat, drawing laughter from cosmic onlookers. The prophetic being, a guardian of ancient secrets, joined in the laughter, revealing a lighter aspect of its enigmatic presence.

As the laughter subsided, the emissaries prepared to resume their journey. Unbeknownst to them, Asriel, the shadowy spy in the guise of a celestial comedian, observed their interactions from the cosmic shadows. Malgrim, through the eyes of his servant, gleaned insights into the dynamics of the group.

As the emissaries ventured back onto the celestial highways, the cosmic comedian whispered cryptic jokes that resonated with the essence of their quest. Eldred, attuned to the subtleties of cosmic humor, deciphered the hidden messages within the jokes.

Meanwhile, Asriel, still in the form of the cosmic comedian, devised a cunning plan to extract information. Transforming into a young, beautiful celestial being, Asriel took on an alluring appearance that seemed to shimmer with cosmic radiance.

On the celestial highway, the transformed Asriel appeared before Eldred, Oliver, Lily, and the prophetic being, feigning distress. The celestial being, with eyes that reflected innocence and vulnerability, claimed to be lost and in need of guidance.

Eldred, his warlock senses tingling with caution, approached the celestial being with a measured gaze. Oliver and Lily, empathetic to the apparent plight, joined Eldred in offering assistance. The prophetic being, ever watchful, observed the unfolding scenario.

The disguised Asriel, with a feigned tremor in her voice, spun a tale of cosmic misfortune. She spoke of being separated from her celestial companions and expressed gratitude for the timely arrival of the emissaries.

Oliver, charmed by the celestial being's allure, willingly extended his hand for a supposed cosmic handshake. The disguised Asriel, with a concealed blade, extracted a minute blood sample while maintaining the facade of a celestial connection.
