Manipulation

Public Library, Stratford.

Within this building, the air was thick with the scent of parchment papers and leather bindings, mixed with the faint aroma of candle wax and the subtle smell of aged wood.

The dim light from the high, arched windows barely penetrated the gloom and illuminated the interior.

Eleiney was sitting at a massive wooden table in a secluded corner of the library. The table's surface was strewn with open books, parchment papers, and ink bottles.

The quill in her hand danced across the pages as she continued to compile all the information and write it down.

This was the assignment that Adam had given her before he left for the safe house in the Greyscale Mountains.

It wasn't to study arcane textbooks, but the books that contained the town's history!
