Once she stepped in, she saw a rectangular room with a long purple carpet leading to a boxy throne with 3 spikes at the top, the arm rests resembling jaws, the room cold as ice making it so that the arms rests had icicles hanging off of them. To either side of the throne there were double doors which when stepped through led to a larger room with three chandeliers the same color as the moons and in the same order as them, bellow these chandeliers lied a long wooden medieval diner table with 8 seats to either side of it and another throne at the end furthest from the entrance. This throne resembling the other but this time it was more sofa-like for maximum comfort and less for presentability. There were again two double doors to either side to this throne that led to two separate hallways that led to separate rooms, yet at the end of the halls they connected and led to a large greenhouse like room with lots of greenery and seven statues, each statue resembling another person that stood bellow or besides Namulenza.
'There's someone coming, say the incantation and you can get out, once you repeat it outside, you'll appear in the same spot you were last time in this world.'
'Forsaken Realm,' she chanted before with another bright purple flash she appeared laying down on the floor of the library. Just that now she had a massive headache.
"Oh, you're awake. I was getting worried that you weren't waking up so I went to get Ellen then came back," Tundra said as Ellen appeared from the stairway. "What happened? Why'd you come get me?"
Hirune looked at him while kicking her legs a little, "I was just in a pocket dimension, nothing too crazy."
'Idiot! You're not supposed to tell them that!'
"Oops..."
Tundra stared at her for a second before sighing, "I guess that makes sense. Well Ellen thinks we might have a lead on one of their assassins. According to her, they're not very sneaky no matter how hard they try as they've been spotted by bystanders many times without them noticing them. In fact, they say they live in the Triple Red Peaks right off the coast. And before you ask, yes, she meant the Triple Red Peaks in the Blood Ocean where many ships have been lost."
"You're saying she as if I wasn't right here. Also, we're just going to ignore the fact that she said she was in a pocket dimension?"
"Ellen, that's like me saying "are we going to ignore the fact that Tundra held a knife to my throat the first time we met and now we're all buddy-buddy with each other." Which yes, we are," Hirune said as she rolled from her stomach to her back and stood up.
"So, when are we going?'
"Right now, come."
Hirune nodded and told them to go ahead of her, which they did, and after a couple minutes she started counting each step while pushing the wall. When she reached the twentieth step the wall opened up, which she quickly pulled closed again, then she kept counting until she reached the middle floor, counting forty steps in total, meaning the True Alexandria is exactly halfway down the stairs.
'That's unideal, if I decide to go into the Alexandria there's a high chance I'll be spotted,' Hirune thought as she took the other stairs up into the receiving floor. 'Don't you say, maybe you forgot about the concealment incantation whichever it was,' Namulenza responded to her thought.
She rolled her eyes as she stepped out and looked at Ellen, Tundra and Kala waiting for her.
"Only reason I'm coming is because it's the ocean, but to be completely honest I'd much rather stay here with Clint," Kala said as she looked at Hirune.
"And do what? Because I didn't see any sign of any board games or consoles in there," Hirune responded, a smirk playing on her lips.
"Talk about... stuff? I don't know! He's a good friend of mine."
"Eso es lo que todos dicen~"
"What? W-Wait no, what did you just say?"
"Such a 'no sabo' kid," Hirune said teasingly.
"Hey! It's not my fault I didn't take Spanish!"
"It's literally Triste's common language, for you to not know any of what I said you had to grow up in a truly unique spot here."
They kept on bickering like this all the way to the shore, where Ellen summoned a speed boat out of what Hirune can only assume was a flashbang. A big block placed in the middle of the boat due to sea-creatures attacking boats is so common that engines are placed in the middle of the boat.

Somehow, they avoided any issues, which was concerning considering the fact that the Blood Ocean is known for its vast number of dangers, so if they weren't attacked by any of those creatures while on their way to the triple red peaks, that most likely meant that there was something more dangerous than them on these mountains. Getting off the boat and getting on the dock, this thought filled Hirune's mind as she looked up, the peak on the left having a crescent moon shaped hole through it, the peak on the right having a sun shaped hole through it, and the peak in the middle having a crescent moon hole through it with the remaining three quarters of the hole being sun shaped. A long path of stairs wrapping around all three peaks, luckily, there's also a really sketchy wooden elevator that goes all the way up the middle peak.
As Hirune went to say something Ellen spoke, "Kala you stay here and watch the boat, we'll go up. If we run into any trouble up there, I'll give you a signal. The fact that we didn't run into any creatures here seems too convenient."
"I was about to bring that up, because there are creatures here, in fact there's a bunch right below us on the ocean floor, yet none of them came up. Even the ones that require oxygen seem like they'd rather drown than come up for air," Kala responded.
'Oh, so I'm not being paranoid! That's great!' Hirune thought as they got on the elevator and pressed the button to go up. Which caused the elevator to screech loudly as is slowly went up, before suddenly speeding up then slowing down again continuously until they finally reached the top. Where they found a little cozy shack, a bunch of runes spread throughout the hill-like ground at the top of the mountain, and a young lady with black hair and crimson eyes watering a small patch of flowers.
Ellen held her hand in front of them as they stepped out of the elevator, "She feels somewhat familiar, maybe it's because she looks the same as someone I know but younger. Still, I'd be cautious."
The young girl slowly looked up from the patch of flowers and turned her head to look at them, her eyes slightly wider in surprise before blinking a couple times and waving with a friendly smile.
