One caught her eye: Spirits of the Wild: Bindings and Releases. The cover was cracked leather, smelling like dirt and old forests.

“What is this?” I tore it off and brought it closer to my face. “Special study groups,” I read, skimming through the words. “Only at night, in the renovated library.” “Well that's suspicious,” I said to myself. The renivated library was not open to the public yet, so who would fo there to study and why would they choose to do it at night?
