Marvin had gotten quite a rich harvest from the trip to the Rotten Mushroom Swamp, so his previous fight with the Snake Witch wasn't in vain.
When Marvin left the cabin and made his way out of the swamp, his injuries were still aching. This made him sigh at the Snake Witch's vindictiveness and the power of the God Restraining Seal.
But although he didn't take the time to look through them, he still noticed that some of the books in the Snake Witch's library were about God Restraining Seals.
These things were very valuable, and although the current White River Valley had no suitable people to use them, Marvin had a feeling that soon, *that* person would come back.
He had a feeling that when Wayne returned from the Wilds, as a powerful Seer who managed to survive his early years, he should be able to walk a path of Magic that his predecessors could never have imagined.
