In "Temptation: A Novel in Three Parts," Livira and Arpix hide a book called The Forest Between before trying to locate Volente, the library guide. They hope Volente will lead them to Chamber Seven of the library.
Despite repeated calls from both Livira and Arpix, Volente ignores their commands until Arpix speaks in a firm, loud voice.
Livira and Arpix intend for Volente to open the door to Chamber Seven, but Volente merely walks through the door, leaving it closed behind him.
Livira tries to instruct Volente to fetch a book from Chamber Seven, but since she doesn't know the names of any specific books, her command is unsuccessful.
Livira then instructs Volente to fetch "the Raven," a librarian who could potentially help their cause. However, Volente leads them to an immobile metal man known as the guide.
When Volente barks at the guide loudly, he surprisingly comes to life after centuries of inactivity.
The guide speaks in many different languages before finally speaking in a language Livira and Arpix understand - sabber-tongue.
Using sabber-tongue, Livira asks for the Raven's name. The guide replies, "Edgarallen."
Livira calls out "Edgarallen" and the Raven appears. He then helps them gain entrance to Chamber Seven.
Upon entering Chamber Seven, they feel relief at not seeing the dangerous, corrupted assistant, but fear still looms.
