Dakota looked to Nim, “how do you know?” He asked, he then remembered the other could see into the future. He looked towards the king a queen, “could you excuse us for a moment?”

Nim blinked once before turning to walk somewhere private after being excused by the royals. An ear twitched and he said "What?"

“You know it would be really helpful if you actually clued us in and helped us win this battle. We could be three steps ahead of him by now!” Dakota whispered.

Nim just stared deadpan. "Olgrin visits my library." An ear twitched. "He reads, we talk." He studied Dakota. "He of course can't tell me something I don't know, but the point is that he reads." He paused for a moment. "He knows I won't bend the rules and relay anything to him, so he finds a way to get to his goals on his own."

“Yeah but maybe you could grace Uma and I with your knowledge instead of making us figure this out as we go.” Dakota said, looking frustrated.

Nim frowned slightly. "If you try too hard to change something, it won't end up how you want it to." He seemed indifferent toward the request.

Dakota sighed before saying, “okay. But either way this battle won’t end in the way we want it to.” He said. He cursed under his breath. He felt like he was letting the mortals down. Olgrin was making a fool of the three of them.

Nim sighed. "I suppose there is something we can try as a... shortcut... but you won't like it."

“Tell me.” Dakota said while studying the other with a concentrated look.

Nim flicked an ear. "... We would need to break all of the artifacts is probably the part you won't like about the shortcut."

“Okay. So then what if we let Olgrin break them all and catch him off guard.” He then realized he was getting ahead of himself, “what’s the actual short cut?”

Nim said "We break them all now. It will release the focus of the barrier, and we can sort of... redirect the power to make a barrier, or enclosure, for something else."

Dakota nodded slowly, “and what is the probability of that working?” He asked.

Nim hummed "We will need to place the broken artifacts in a pentagon shape. If we focus our power on creating an encasement, it should work. We just need to be careful not to let him pull any of us in with him."

Dakota thought for a moment before saying, “you go get the bow and I’ll go to get another artifact.” He said.

Nim nodded before saying "Also, we need to have Olgrin in the pentagon for it to work. That's the tricky part."

“I bet Uma can get him there if she took the right approach.” Dakota said.

Nim shrugged. "Do it. And, we will need to collect the other artifacts, but do not break them. We can't let him suspect anything until the last moment."

“Okay. I’m going to get the bow. I’ll send Uma a message on my way.” Dakota said, “you get another artifact.” He said before disappearing.

Nim nodded before porting away, going to collect the flute from the satyrs and the Everhelm from the bears. Hopefully this worked.

Dakota soon retrieved the bow. Uma also met with Dakota as he came back to the castle to give him the crown, “where’s Olgrin?” She asked.

Nim shrugged before searching, eyes turning completely white as he used his power to search the area around Bryghtwood.

Dakota and Uma waited for him to finish the search, both focused.

Nim soon finished, saying "He's in that valley west of here, with that huge river passing through it."

Uma nodded, “got it.” She said before disappearing. She reappeared by the spot and took flight to scan the area.

Olgrin was settled by a spot by the river, the huge gorilla just sitting down with a pile of fruit to snack on, for once not busied by plans or picking fights.

Uma saw him and flew downwards. “Funny. I would have thought you’d be trying to break another artifact.” She said before landing a little ways off from him.

"And here I thought you were an intelligent woman every moment of your existence." Olgrin didn't even spare her a glance, cracking open a watermelon and picking at the inside. "You should know better than to believe me to be that stupid."

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Uma said innocently. She then went to settle in the grass. “You know I miss our moments we had together. Nim is always in his library and Dakota was always off doing something. So, you were my source of socialization.”

Olgrin snorted. "All you have to do is offer to go down on me to put the cherry on top of your bullcrap." He ate more watermelon, continuing "What is it you want?"
