so much is still unknown

WESSEX after all is said and done you're just a carnivore let you in and drink my blood you're nothing but a monster More than a little please that Letha joined her, the Wraith continues her scan of the book until the other woman joins her in the shop, pausing every now and then to dig more deeply into a section. When the woman enters, she barely glances up, not because Letha isn’t important, but because she needs to do this quickly. “Looking for some information,” she murmurs, turning the page - then another, until something makes her furrow her brow. “This seems to be a journal of a trader… most of it’s mundane, but… there's this...” There are some new mentions of species, of another place. A place where fire animals live. Unnamed, and yet - as she’s about to turn the page for more information, there’s the sound of footsteps above them, as if the shopkeeper lives above the store and has heard their quiet voices - or the click of a window being unlocked - whatever it is, he’ll soon be down to investigate. Wessex’s finger flies to her lips as she quietly and quickly tries to reshelve the book.
