Well That's Awkward...
The book began with an explanation of the Dark Beasts.
A great deal of the books was damaged but it was not hard to comprehend.
"Dark Beast, the Night Terror, and the Mighty Jaguar of the Dark. It had many names and was mainly the property of an ancient family…"
Hmm the part about the Imperial Family of the Vast Expanse seemed to be redacted. Whoever wrote the book made sure to only tell of its origin without exposing the owner. I guess the influence of the Imperial Family was too great at the time for an author to be afraid of even mentioning the name.
The book continued.
