I found a most interesting tome this morning. I'm quite sure I should have turned it over, but curiosity took hold of me. The clarity in the handwriting and such interesting diagrams! While minding some records for father, I had lost a metal orb I had been fidgeting with. When I bent to retrieve it from beneath a nearby bookshelf in the library, I felt the old book touch my fingers I pulled it out. It gave me quite the sneezing fit to clear it from the blanket of dust and dirt time had covered it in down there. I had a job of puzzling out some of the antiquated spellings, words, and phrases. There are several passages that I am most curious about, but they are written in a language I haven't even seen before. If I had to guess based on a few of the diagrams, I would say this book has become quite forbidden. The name that penned it is familiar, but I cannot quite place him. Perhaps he was a former keeper of the household? Or perhaps he was merely a random visitor that sought to stow his illicit knowledge and records where he thought they might be safe from discovery. What happened to him? More importantly, what does this mysterious language say? Is it one of the forbidden tongues? I think it must be, else I'd have seen at least some samples of it before in my studies. It's possible I have some answers to questions of the past that have always plagued me. Are the myths true? Demons, angels, walking dead and corrupting magic...it seems rather fantastic. But when I hear Ceraia play...I could almost believe in magic. Perhaps it still exists in lesser, pure ways? I should find a good hiding place for it and my journal. Saronai :: remember :: |
