Towards Malana

[Anastasia]

As you walk, Seira senses that Calley has arrived.

[Corwin]

After Seira's avatar guides him to the library and stands guard outside, Seira waves Calley over. "Hi there!" she greets him. "Do you know what I want to show you?"

[Nephrite]

Moore gives Calley a wave of his own.

[Anastasia]

Calley enters, "No," Calley admits, "But it's important if you called me, isn't it?"

[Corwin]

"We think so," Seira agrees, before gesturing at the research notes. "Do you recognize these? It's something you made after being granted your powers. Moore and I took a closer look and made things a bit more readable, and now we would like to ask you what you think."

[Anastasia]

Calley nods and looks at them, "You made a lot of progress," he says, slowly. "It's like..."

A blink, a pause.

"You're missing the center."

[Corwin]

"Yep. We filled in a great deal of esoteric details and proofs that support the theorem, but the center is the concept behind it all. It is as if we have forged the perfect bow, but don't know where to aim it. You, however, should have an idea of some sort. A feeling, perhaps? After all, the center is key to the whole thing. You had to have known it to, as it's the base for the rest of your notes."

[Nephrite]

"When in doubt, you trust your gut instinct." Moore says with a nod.

Calley studies it awhile and then begins to write, "There," he says, "There."

[Corwin]

"Thank you!" Seira tells Calley cheerfully, before she studies the final outcome. "Let's see...."

[Anastasia]

It looks as if the center is...something between Creation and Beyond. Like a membrane, like a thin film, a place between. A buffer? Something like that. A tiny, thin coating, yet vast in its own right.

[Corwin]

"Interesting," Seira muses. "I don't remember it during a trip to Beyond, the way I notice traveling through the Astral. Perhaps a hole was already opened? Do you see it, Moore?"

[Nephrite]

Moore will look for himself to make sure he interprets it the same way!

[Anastasia]

It looks the same to Moore.

[Nephrite]

"Oh, I get it, it's like... yes, I think the Astral is a good comparison." He says with a nod. "Yes, I see it. Do we need to be anywhere specific to open the way there?"
