Chapter 23

• The place had fallen silent, and I was getting bored just lying in bed like that. And so, I decided to go downstairs, there the fire was crackling softly in the hearth, bringing a warmth to the chill that I was feeling.
• The flicking light from the fire cast dancing shadows along the walls, and I walked to the library, thinking that I could find answers on my own. I half expected that Alaric would have been there, but he wasn’t, so it would just be me and these books.
• I flicked the light on, and it illuminated the large room of lines and rows of books, along with decorated walls. I found a random book just laying there, thinking that Alaric was reading it and must have found the answer to what I did.
