Shifting Map

After entering the central chamber of the ancient library, Sunny felt his excitement diminish somewhat. The stone slates had seemed unharmed from the outside, but at a closer look, they were not in the best state. 

The Defiled sybil had rampaged in this chamber, as well. Many slates were shattered, some turned to rubble, others to dust. The whole place was a mess, with deep cracks littering its walls and the ceiling. There were deep puddles on the floor, and the cold darkness shrouding the chamber echoed with the sound of falling water. 

Still… there were many slates that were unharmed, as well. 

Cassie remained motionless for a few moments, then sighed and sat down on a relatively dry pile of rubble.

Sunny gave her a stare.

"...What, you're not going to help us look?"

The blind girl smiled. 

"I am looking."

He coughed and awkwardly turned away. 

'Yeah, way to go, genius. Asking a blind person if she'll look…'
