Episode Three: Stairway To Heaven

After rushing to catch up, Warwick slips into class only a few minutes late.

"You're late, I was worried." The professor states as Warwick takes his seat.

"I'm sorry, I got distracted with a new game."

"If you need to talk about anything, I'm free after class."

"I'll keep that in mind."

"Okay now class..." The professor goes into the lesson.

While everyone else goes into the lesson, Warwick is focused on Tir Chonaill.

He uses the computer to research and perfect his plan, while a speech-to-text program runs in the back.

At the end of the class, he quickly copies sections of the text and pastes them into his notes.

As everyone is leaving, the professor asks him "Are you sure everything okay?"

"Yeah, it's nothing I can't handle," Warwick explains as he leaves the class.

As he leaves, he slips away before his dormmates notice him.

In an act of diversion, he goes the wrong way, then doubles back to his dorm.

He walks into the doorway and leans his back against the wall, out of sight of the stairs and the door.

"Okay Warwick, you ready?" He says to himself.

In an instant, everything goes white.

He stands looking down on a staircase, the way up looks to go on forever.

The way down leads to a platform with another staircase going down on the other side.

The platform is white with a Celtic knot carved into it.

"Now to just not die on the stairs, and I'll live indefinitely."

He carefully walks down the stairs, as he reaches the platform.

After a few seconds, a beautiful woman shows up.

Hair like snow, and fair skin, her black dress flows in the wind despite a lack of wind.

Warwick walks up to her asking, "How are you doing Nao?"

"How do you know my name?" Nao asks in response.

"In the world I come from, anyone could find out your name in seconds. Truth be told, I need your help."

"My job is to help milletians as they enter or return to the world of Erinn. If you have any questions, let me know."

Warwick smiles as if he's actually happy. "I will. I'd like to know how to purchase pon if I need to."

"I'm not sure what that is. I'm sorry, can we talk about something else?"

"No worries. I would like to join Erinn as the Druid talent."

"That's a difficult one. Can you please pick something else?"

"I'm sorry. I really need the Druid talent. Just this once, can you help me with this?"

"I will do what I can. Walk down the staircase when you're ready to enter Erinn."

"Thank you so much Nao, it was a great joy getting to meet you."

He leaves with a smile, as he walks down the staircase.

Everything fades to white.
