After finishing the book, Logan remained seated for a long moment. The words lingered in his mind.
Slowly, Logan stood up. The chair scraped softly against the stone floor as he pushed it back and returned the book to its place on the shelf.
Without any particular destination in mind, Logan began walking along the shelves once more.
He moved slowly. Carefully. Row after row of ancient tomes passed before his eyes. Some were thin and brittle, others thick enough to crush a careless reader's arm. Titles glowed faintly or lay carved deep into their spines, written in scripts that predated present languages.
Minutes passed. Then...
Logan stopped. Another title had caught his attention.
'The Nine Ancient Deities'
Logan's eyes narrowed. "…Deities?" he murmured.
He reached out and exhaled slowly. "This should be interesting."
