CHAPTER FOUR - Arcane Discoveries

Back in the bustling city of Glintstone my task was clear: find the elusive guardian and bring it to Morwenna. But I had no intention of rushing blindly into danger.

I had begun my search by asking the few locals in the city about any libraries or archives of knowledge. Their responses eventually led me to a library tucked away in a quiet corner of the city—an old building that seemed to hold the promise of valuable information. It was clear that a more systematic approach was needed. To find the elusive guardian, I would have to immerse myself in the library’s ancient tomes and extract any relevant details that could aid me.

I approached the library, its aged stone exterior and overgrown ivy hinted at its age and significance. The grand, arched doorway was flanked by towering columns, and the heavy wooden door creaked open to reveal a dimly lit interior. Inside, rows of high bookshelves filled with ancient tomes stretched up, and the air was rich with the scent of old parchment.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Looking up and down the isles I stumble upon a book that was out of place—a heavy tome bound in dark, cracked leather, almost as if it had been neglected and forgotten. The title, "Binding the Soulless," intrigued me. I pulled it from the shelf and wiped away the thick layer of dust. Something about it felt important, placing it in my bag.

After hours of sifting through the library, I finally found the book titled The Guardians of the Feywild: A Comprehensive Study. My patience pays off as I pull it from the shelf and delve into its ancient pages.

The book reveals that the guardian creature I’m after hides in magically rich areas and subtly influences its surroundings. I map out the ley lines and hotspots described, gathering supplies like protective charms and tracking tools.

With the book’s guidance, I plan to observe the local flora and fauna for signs of the guardian. I’ll head out in the morning, using the information I’ve just learned to formulate a strategy.
