As Declan prepared to grasp the Amulet, the whole room shook and before he could awaken a man appeared.
Looking around, he shook his head and then yawned. Reaching over to Declan, glad that as the author of the story he could pause certain events, the man commented out loud, "I dislike people who can't read things properly."
With this said, the man took the Amulet of Zulo from Declan's slender hand and reaching down he pulled the metal box out from under the bed.
Setting the amulet inside, the man said, "Let's put you back where Declan had you. Not where the person who can't read set you." and the smiling, the man disappeared and the things began to rewind.
After a bit, things in Declan's room returned to normal and Declan slept on, unaware that an author had just intervened.
