the next day, Rainier was awake before all of thrust. The sun was still buried behind the crest of the world. The um furious was quiet. His dreams had been filled with terrifying imagery of the necromancers vengeful destruction he worried for. His friends had finally reached a point in his journey to call people, friends and the people of 16. As the sun crept over the forest, and after breakfast he set off towards the library. He wanted to get ahead in his readings. The sooner they found the nights, the sooner they could close one more chapter of the necromancers plans. He scanned the spines of dozens of books, ranging from A History of Thrust, Two Alchemy and Beyond. As he continued to read the names, there was far more knowledge he had never obtained than he realised. Curiously, sliding his hand across a section of books, he randomly jerked a book from the shelf familiarity of the divine. Such weird names, he said, gazing at the black book with silver text looping across the cover. He opened it and began to read in silence. The true origin of magic started with divinity, though the beginning has been lost in history or is known, is the lineage of parole in the old divine mother who was the first chorus born with light. From that light came her son, Karen, the first born of darkness. There was balance in foreign these. But at that time Narry, um, was filled with greed, lust and envy. Mankind was on the brink of destruction. Both the bearers of light and darkness sent their spirits tannery, um, as balance in the great fall of Children, all the Golden City in the east. Heroes was created from the energy produced by light and darkness. That energy destroyed the city and littered narry. Um, with both light and darkness, Eros returned to foreign this and created his six Children. The old gods. Four of his Children carried the power of the world elements, while the other two were twins, one light and the other darkness to preserve balance. Torrid narry, um, of darkness era Spanish. His son to ****. Lauren Lil, the daughter of light, spread her life force into marium so humans may persist with the power of light. Rainier slammed the book shut, trying to wrap his mind around the history of the guards and the relation to the events occurring. Now, setting the book back on the shelf, he began to pick out several others in an effort to find the nights the fallen son **** or Era's. Most of the texts and manuscripts paled in comparison to the text of the Little Black Book. The sound of the door opening startled him, making him drop a stack of books, a thin sticks lead out of one without looking at whoever entered. He picked up the object, realising it wasn't a stick but a broken piece of wood. Glowing rain ears, eyes grew wide. It only seemed this type of wood in the arrows from the assassins. What was it doing in a book? Rainier. What are you doing? Asked Taron. Without a word. Rainier held the splinter up to his face. Taryn squinted his eyes with his eyebrows forced downward. What is? He stopped as his eyes widened and swiped the splinter. Where did you get this? It was in one of these books. It popped out when I dropped the stack, replied Rainier. Which book? Taryn asked, nearly yelling. I don't know. I didn't see it fall out. Why would it even be in a book? Asked Taron as both he and Rainier began flipping through the pages of the four books that had crashed to the floor. Here, said Rainier, it's a map of Silverstein. The page had a small opening punched through the right side pages, but not the outer cover. He handed the book over, not knowing what it meant. Taryn studied the whole and the spot on the map, where the whole bled through. The map covered both pages. He set it on the table and put the sliver of wood up to it, confirming that it matched perfectly.
