Chapter Seven: The Lost Library

"It was a long and complicated tale, and I don't even know all of it, but I will share what I know.
"We were working to protect some tombs from being looted, and we found a bauble, an amulet, which showed what looked like one of the sewer openings I assume you designed, and a number that did not seem to exist.
"We managed to find this location thru a friend, a woman who is by her own admission, a good researcher. The number was not on the map, but she extrapolated when it should be, and we came here.
"Searching the area, I found a stone that opened a path, where sadly one of your servants was morning the destruction to the library.
"I hope you can help him, or release him from his task, by the way.
"Anyway, we followed the path of the looters, hoping to find, I mist admit, some missed bit of treasure or knowledge.
"But I, for one, am certainly willing to help you, if it is within my power."
The chill air had her clutching the blanket closer for warmth.
