In the [[Castle of Nowhere]] at the centre of [[Nowhere Island|the island]], Jenny Nowhere herself is still observing all this through [[Pixie Pristine's crystal ball|a crystal ball]], raging at the idea that she was “made” and adds that she “cannot be ''un''made”, cryptically adding that Sophie will find out the same soon enough. | In the [[Castle of Nowhere]] at the centre of [[Nowhere Island|the island]], Jenny Nowhere herself is still observing all this through [[Pixie Pristine's crystal ball|a crystal ball]], raging at the idea that she was “made” and adds that she “cannot be ''un''made”, cryptically adding that Sophie will find out the same soon enough. | ||
Setting off once again, the now-four friends are startled by the appearance of a sign right in front of them, reading simply ‘OVER THERE’. After overthinking the riddle for a while, they realise it's literally pointed at someone in the distance who's been tied up and left hanging from a tree. Jenny Everywhere identifies her as [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] of the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]], who has the power to know where anything is. Over-There recounts that she got a call from a mysterious woman on the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]], asking for the location of [[Pixie Pristine's crystal ball]] before materialising herself through the phone connection and kidnapping Over-There. Jenny Over-There's powers are also blocked insofar as she can't perceive anything outside the island, but she can still feel the locations of everything and everyone ''on'' it, which allows her to inform the others that Sophie is in the Castle and to point them in the right direction. | Setting off once again, the now-four friends are startled by the appearance of a sign right in front of them, reading simply ‘OVER THERE’.

A few hours later, they reach the Castle, which is made of silver and stands atop a black peak rising out of the gray clay. Over-There is able to confirm that Nowhere is inside, gathering a large amount of [[Prism|curious gems]]. After considering their options, they decide to side-step the matter of ascending it altogether; instead, Thymon uses his time-powers to accelerate the rock on which the Castle stands, eroding it to dust in a matter of minutes and thus bringing the castle down to ground level. Nowhere opens the gates, looking not so much wrathful as ''stroppy'' that all her work shifting a mountain in from another universe has gone to waste. She leads them into the Great Hall, where she has set up rows upon rows of Prisms. Before they rescuers can do anything to help Sophie, she uses her shifting abilities to make chains appear around them, and captures Thymon in a Prism. | A few hours later, they reach the Castle, which is made of silver and stands atop a black peak rising out of the gray clay.
