Chapter 25

Summary

• Livira wakes up in a chamber of a large book repository, having fallen and injured herself earlier.
• An assistant looks after her, giving her a rare book, Reflections on Solitude. Livira learns that there are two identical copies of this book in the library.
• Livira is in pain from her fall, but the assistant explains that being in the center of the chamber will reverse any recent damage.
• Livira tries to find her lost bird, Arpix, but the assistant is unable to help and leaves. Nonetheless, he tells her how to exit the chamber.
• In her frustrating quest to find the exit, Livira encounters an immovable metallic figure, which reminds her of the trouble her bird may be in.
• Eventually, Livira exits the labyrinth-like venue and is helped by library guards. She inquires about her schoolmates who were supposed to be ahead of her, but the guards haven’t seen anyone.
• Tired and hungry, Livira makes her way back to her school, hoping to present the book she found to her master, Logaris.
• Upon reaching the school, she sleeps due to extreme exhaustion and when she wakes up, struggles to find her classmates.
• Just as their master is about to assign punishment for their tardiness, Livira interrupts and hands over the found book, Reflections on Solidade, thereby saving her classmates from penalties.
• The students are praised for their efforts and are promised a place in master Logaris’s class for their commitment.
