They had taken Elora's hand and just as before had been enveloped in an explosion of smoke. Isi felt warmth spread over him, as though he was stood in front of a fire on a cold day. It was dark for a while and then there was a burst of light. They were outside in the sunshine, not too far away from where they had fallen down into the hole. Isidore blinked in the bright sunlight and looked around, He was there, Kyrie was there, so was Scim, though he looked a little confused and Elora too.
"Look." Isidore declared, pointing over to the ruins of the old library. "There's mama and everyone."
His mother was indeed by the entrance of the library, feeling a little flustered, which was not a usual thing. They had exited the library having located the archive and discovered that Isidore and Kyrie were nowhere to be seen.

Kyrie held tightly to Elora's hand and watched the smoke envelop them. The darkness took her breath away and she too felt the warmth wash through her. It was rather pleasant, she decided. The burst of light caused her to blink furiously and it took a few moments before her vision had adjusted enough for her to take in her surroundings. Seeing that they were well and truly outside, she gave an excited caw and bounced on her toes.
"Yay! You did it Elora!" she exclaimed and squeezed her hand. Then her blue eyes caught sight of her mother and she bounced again.
"Mama! Isi and I made a new friend!" she cried out to her as she released Elora's hand and trudged through the sand as fast as she could to get to her.

Cosine looked up at the shout for her name and smiled, a wave of relief crashing over her.
"Kyrie, where have you been?" She asked, running towards her children.
"We fell in a big hole." Isidore grinned, bouncing as he made his way across the hot sand, Scim charging after them. "It turned out to be a tomb, there was treasure and we found a lamp and Elora was inside it." He pointed to the female djinn who followed closely behind them both.
Cosine looked up at the djinn woman. Well she was certainly rather opulent.
"My Lady." Elora said, bowing her head respectfully.

Kyrie threw her arms around her mother's leg and glanced back to Isi as he explained what had happened to them. Nodding in agreement with her brother, she looked up at her mother.
"Elora granted us a wish each! I got a super awesome map for Isi and me and Isi got to see where they buried the king. Can Elora come home with us? She's got no family," she declared excitedly and then switched gears to pleading on Elora's behalf.

Elora smirked at the tiny goddesses words and looked up at her mother.
"I am looking for Isambard, God of Industry."
"Oh, yes, I have met him." Cosine said recalling the young host and god. "He is at the Pantheon, you are welcome to journey with us, especially as you've helped my children out today.
"She did mama, she did! We made her free and she helped us escape from the tomb." He bounced again and looked up at the others, they looked quite dusty, though he supposed that he and Kyrie probably didn't look too much better. When his mother said that Elora could join them in their journey home he grinned more.
"See Elora, I told you mama knew everything."

Kyrie looked between her mother and new friend as they spoke to each other. When her mother said she knew the god Elora was looking for, she bounced and looked between them again. She just knew that they would be able to help Elora.
"She really does! She's so clever," Kyrie grinned and then held up her treasures to her mother. "Here Mommy. This is my map and Elora said I could keep the lamp. And look at the necklace I found," she said and pointed to her neck. "Isi said he thought it would be okay if we took only a few things. There was so much down there."

Cosine looked down at her daughter and smirked a little at her excitement.
"You know those things are offerings to the dead." She said, raising an eyebrow. "But I suppose you are right, they do not need them."
"I said that." Isidore smiled, he still thought it was a little bit wrong but they were both right, it was not like the dead had a use for all the treasure, it would likely just sit there for the next thousand years unless a tomb robber got in there and stole it all. Thinking of it that way they really should have taken more, it could have been seen as an offering to the gods and they were gods. "did you find the books?"
"Yes, we did." Cosine replied. "We are going to head back home though, Kleo will come back with others to move it to the temple."

Kyrie nodded and shrugged at her mother's comment.
"See?" Besides, Scim had not seemed all that bothered that she was taking the treasure. If it had been a problem, surely he would have let them know since he was a protector of the dead.
Kyrie blinked at her mother's words and she looked past her to the rest of their small party.
"Why can't you move it now? Is it really heavy or something?" she asked.

Cosine smirked.
"There are a lot of books in the archive, we can't carry all of it now." She replied, though they could move some she supposed, though they only had the one camel.
"Oh, so its lots of books." he had thought that there might only be one or two of them. "So are we going home now?" he asked, he was quite eager to get back so that he could tell Caelia and his father all about their adventure, then there was the matter of his map, they would have to go on that adventure soon. "Oh! Can we look at the market? You said we could earlier." he told his mother. They had wizzed past it on the way to the library.

"Ohhh, I see," Kyrie smirked a little and glanced back to the building they had gone into. It would have been neat to see all of the old books in their natural state, but she would not have traded her adventure with Isi for anything. Besides, they were to be moved to her mother's temple. She would get to look at them there now and she imagined her mother's temple would be much more comfortable than a dusty old room.
At Isidore's suggestion, her eyes lit up and she looked back up to her mother.
"Please Momma? Please, please, please?" she clasped her hands together tightly and begged her.

Isi echoed his sister's pleas and gave his mother a big grin. When she agreed that they could explore the market he gave a cheer and looked over to their friend the camel who seemed to be ready to go again.
"Come on let's go Ky! We can get presents for everyone! I want to pick something nice out for Kios. Come on Scim." He grinned, charging over towards their trusty steed.
