(Anais) - We must tell the chosen ones about this.

(Sol) - I already told the High Priest, but we do not have any proof that it might happen, the conditions I was able to find will happen a few days before the blood moon.

(Anais) - Even if it will not happen, the kingdom should be prepared.

(Sol) - We are not even sure what to prepare for.

*Sigh*

(Anais) - Do you think that cursed tomes are involved in this blood moon?

(Sol) - It does not mention anything about them, but there might be a possibility that some cursed tomes will emerge during the blood moon.

(Anais) - Does it say how long the blood moon lasts?

(Sol) - It does not, some of the pages were torn and some are burnt. It was hard to decipher those conditions.

(Anais) - We should take a look and see if there are no other books that mention something about the blood moon.

(Sol) - I searched but nothing.

(Anais) - Have you asked the High Priest?

(Sol) - Yes, but something tells me that he was not aware of this book's existence.

(Anais) - Where did you find this book?

*Step*

Sol took Anais to the spot where the book fell from the shelf.

(Anais) - If it was in the library it is impossible that the High Priest would not know about its existence.

(Sol) - I searched on this shelf but all the books seemed to be in their place, no one was missing.

(Anais) - That is indeed strange.

They searched in other books, but nothing mentioned the blood moon. Anais was looking in that book and noticed that its cover was peeling from a corner.

(Anais) - Sol?

*Step*

(Sol) Did you find anything?

(Anais) - Have you noticed something about this cover?

(Sol) - I thought it was just an old book.

(Anais) - There is something beneath the cover.

Anais pulled the cover and the book changed colors, it became a dark purple and its pages were restored.

(Sol) - What happened?

(Anais) - I think we might have found our answer.

(Sol) - It can't be.

(Anais) - What?

(Sol) - Those characters. . .

(Anais) - What's wrong with them?

(Sol) - They are the same symbols and characters as the other cursed tomes.

*Shocked*

(Anais) - Why would there be a cursed tome in here?

(Sol) - Remember what I've told you about the book?

(Anais) - That it fell off a shelf but all the books were in their place.

Stolen novel; please report.

(Sol) - Exactly.

*Step*

(Sol) - We must tell the High Priest about this.

They both started running towards the High Priest's room, but on their way, they bumped into The Silver Ash.

(The Silver Ash) - Why the hurry?

(Anais) - We need to find the High Priest immediately.

(The Silver Ash) - Aren't you one of The Seer's apprentices?

(Anais) - Yes I am.

*Grab*

(The Silver Ash) - Tell her that she is making a mistake meddling with the black magic.

*Shake*

*Grab*

(Sol) - Let her go!

(The Silver Ash) - Watch your manners, kid.

(Sol) - It is everyone's choice to do what they want, and right now the black magic situation is very important.

(The Silver Ash) - Who are you to decide what is important or not?

(Sol) - I was -

*Covered Sol's mouth*

(Anais) - Forgive him, he does not know much about the chosen ones.

(Sol) - Anais!

(Anais) - I will tell my master about your message, now please forgive us but we are in a hurry.

(The Silver Ash) - Hmph.

*Step*

*Bump*

*Step*

*Whisper*

(Sol) - Why did you stop me?

(Anais) - He is very short-tempered, and not many would care if he would have killed you on the spot for saying anything about him.

(Sol) - I never thought Euda was like this.

(Anais) - No one knows but the ones that are already too deep.

(Sol) - The apprentices?

(Anais) - Yes. Once you become one you truly see their face.

(Sol) - And they are considered saints by others.

(Anais) - Here is a completely other world from what normal people see.

(Anais) - Now let's hurry.

*Step*

They arrived in front of the High Priest's room, and blood was running beneath the door. The door slowly opened and a person with dark clothes left the room and disappeared. Anais and Sol rushed in and found the High Priest lying on the floor in a pool of blood.

*Shocked*

*Worried*

(Anais) - What happened?

*Shake*

(Sol) - Hey! Wake up!

*Grunts*

(High Priest) - Oh. . .

(Sol) - Who did this?

(High Priest) - Don't worry about it.

A golden aura covered the High Priest and his wound healed.

(Anais) - You got us worried.

(High Priest) - The Seer did not teach you about the chosen ones' powers?

(Sol) - Powers?

(High Priest) - Each one of us has some powers. Mine is Aura Healing.

(Anais) - But that still does not explain why someone attacked you.

(High Priest) - I probably shouldn't tell you about it, but since you've seen it. . .

*Sit*

(High Priest) - You asked me about the other 3 that did not attend the meeting.

(Sol) - Yes.

(High Priest) - The one that just left the room was one of them.

*Shocked*

(Anais) - Why are the chosen ones fighting between themselves?

(High Priest) - He did not attend the meeting, but he was listening.

(Sol) - But what happened at the meeting that made him attack you?

(High Priest) - The black magic research part and involving other chosen ones in it.

(Anais) - But this should be an important matter.

(High Priest) - And yet you see that no one is willing to do it.

(Sol) - Looks like things are worse than I imagined.

(Anais) - I told you.

(High Priest) - Did anything else happen?

(Sol) - Anais got threatened by The Silver Ash.

(Anais) - He just told me to deliver a message to The Seer.

(High Priest) - Yes, I can imagine him being a bit rough when doing things, but he is on our side.

(Sol) - Didn't he change his mind about the research on black magic?

*Whisper*

(High Priest) - Because of the higher ones.

(Anais) - That means that The Seer might also be in danger.

(High Priest) - She is smart, there is no need to worry.

(High Priest) - And what brought you here in such a hurry?

*Grab*

(Sol) - Recognize this book?

(High Priest) - No.

(Anais) - Is the book that Sol found earlier.

(High Priest) - But it does not look damaged anymore, what happened?

(Sol) - This might be a cursed tome.

*Shocked*

(High Priest) - Why would there be a cursed tome inside the library?

(Sol) - That's something we need to find out.

(Anais) - We think that the tome appeared from somewhere else and it was not previously in the library.

(High Priest) - But the whole section of black magic is under a protective barrier.

(Sol) - I have seen with my own eyes the power of those tomes.

(High Priest) - But why would it appear in the library?

(Anais) - A warning perhaps?

(High Priest) - A warning about what?

Sol and Anais explained to the High Priest every detail they found out about the blood moon, the message Sol received from Olaf, and the potential threat to the kingdom, or even the realm they were living in.
