Note: I edited this chapter on 18/02/24. Changed a lot of the conversation between Faustus and Will. Also, I edited the previous chapter on 17/02/24. I recommend a reread if you didn't see the changes to its latter half.
I also changed the title of both chapters. Will use the previous title for the next chapter.

Much later—after my Changeling Blade had absorbed Liara's spell-saber, Dess had completed her attunement of the White Lantern, and I finished concocting the potion I had planned to make—invisible me snuck into the back room behind Seidr Longhouse's Alchemy Laboratory 2. The one that novices before my time had dubbed the 'Lair of the Mad Draugr'.
I know, it was a name worthy of a high-tier dungeon. I should have known to take heed.
But being completely invisible to mortal eyes was a new experience for me, and I was reveling in the feeling of it. So, I may have pushed caution out the door as I pushed my way into Doctor Faustus' office.
