It took a second for what the girl said to register in Malus’ mind, preoccupied with playing his guitar and looking at the book, but when it finally did register, the hand plucking the strings missed a note and silence filled the air where music once was. Malus looked at her, taken aback by her statement. Concluding that she was playing with him, Malus smiled and resumed playing. “Ninety-three you say! That sure is old.

He accepted the book with his left hand, looking at the runes scribbled on the cover, opened up to a random page with his thumb and stared down at it, trying to make sense of what was written inside to no avail.

There are all sorts of monsters, Giant drumthroats that could swallow you whole, Spearheads, and even a Manalims, although those you don’t want to see, they aren’t too friendly.

He handed the book back to her and nodded as to reaffirm what he had just described. “You really should go there, there is nothing like. I’m sure you would enjoy it.”
