Chapter 793 Return to Olaynore
?Kaizen's first and last visit to Olaynore, the famous Wizard's Tower, ended peacefully, in a way.
On that occasion, a rebel wizard called Adohorn kidnapped Alina Sylly, the daughter of the former librarian of the Library of the Magi. He did this because he believed that Alina was the only one who could know the location of the book of legend, the Book of the Deep. According to the legend, this book could make any wish come true, even if that wish went against Olaynore's natural order. This book could change everything and take the Elders of the Wizarding City off their pedestal at last.
However, Adohorn wasn't the only one after the Book of the Founders. Although he had an alliance with a Citadel mage called Egelza, she was already in the sights of the Elder Mages and just as the final battle was about to begin, with Kaizen on one side, an Elder Mage on the other and Egelza in the center, everything was interrupted by the Guardian of the Forgotten Forest.
In Olaynore, each of the three floors had a Guardian, and they were responsible for keeping order and the Founders' wishes to exclude the Wizard Tower safe. In the end, the Founders knew that their own children would one day wish to get out of that birdcage, and the Elder, who was the reason the Founders' Book existed, believed it was a key to getting out of the cage. However, the Guardian of the Forest of the Lost revealed that he had long ago used the Book of the Founders to resurrect a human woman he loved.

In the end, thanks to the late confession of the Guardian of the Forest of the Lost, it all ended without a fight, and Kaizen breathed a sigh of relief, because at that time he was nowhere near strong enough to fight an Elder.
However, now, after only a few months, Kaizen, Alina and the others need to return to Olaynore and given the tense situation between him and the Elders, something tells him that an unexpected visit like this wouldn't get a very friendly reception. So they prepared an invasion plan.
That was exactly their idea. Although they could have gone straight to the Citadel of the Magi, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't appear before some important magician or that the Elders wouldn't have magic capable of sensing a portal opening right under their noses. For this reason, Kaizen and Alina chose to follow the path from the Forest of the Forgotten to the top of Olaynore, the Citadel of the Magi.
"What do we do now?" asked Jayaa, almost unconsciously, as she admired the height of the surrounding trees. Their tops practically blocked the view of the sky.
"Now we should stick to the plan." Alina said and tapped her staff on the dirt floor.
A projection came out of the crystal on the tip of her staff, a projection that looked like a three-dimensional map of the entire area around them.
"We're here." She said and pointed to six golden dots that stood out in the middle of the map. "Practically on the edge of this floor. We'll need to walk a bit to get to that Shaman you know, Kaizen."
"I know, but it'll be worth it. He can implant Marks and that's the only way up to the City of Tears." Kaizen replied.
"Very well, then let's get going. I don't think we have any time to waste." Og'tharoz said and started walking, tearing through the tall vegetation with one of his daggers.
