The Strange Man, as many simply referred to him as, looked upon the large screen. The scene was shifting, as usual, but it seemed like a less smooth change than usual. The contestants flickered between dimensions, as if unsure if they were being sent to the right place.
The Director watched calmly. He could definitely work with this. He started scribbling notes onto sheets of paper and gave them to the remaining Gentlemen, as the Strange Man left.
The contestants found themselves separated. Surrounding them were walls of bookshelves, stacked incredibly high. Dust was everywhere, and cobwebs could be seen in nearly every corner. This place had obviously not been used in a while, and nobody seemed to have time to spruce it up for 'company.'
Eximo, Aeon, and Amethyst were alone, in completely different parts of this gigantic, maze-like library, and a voice came from seemingly nowhere. Another 'announcement' from the Director himself.
"Mr. Director, sir, is it wise to let them stay here?"
"Don't worry too much about that. They'll never find it.
Ahem. Contestants, congratulations on making it this far! Welcome to my personal library. I have countless books from many universes in here. Thousands. Perhaps millions. It's a rather large library, so try not to get too lost."
<font size="4">"But that one book. Abot- About you. Should we not retrieve it?"
That last line of dialogue sounded strangely... forced.
"It's fine, Arnold. They'll never find it anyway.
Anyway, good luck, I'm intrigued in seeing who will be in the final two of this battle."
The voice was gone, leaving the contestants to start the second to final round.</font>
