now what?

Isibel gates the demon and all of the useful books except the parts about summoning Darkness (which she burns) into the cave where they've been sleeping.

She stays there. Their physical presence is a comfort; their mental presence works over arbitrary distances and at least they're not awake to read her.

She reads the books. Just for something to do.

The current king of the elves is Andoreniel, named for his mother's father's father, and he is generally considered to be a wise and a just ruler.

He is also standing at the entrance to the cave.
