THE ANCIENT SCROLL
"I miss magic tone torches. They provide stronger light without oil. Hmm… what's this?"
Veronica's eyes landed on a scroll. There was a picture. Two animals were drawn there.
"I've never seen animals like this. An animal breathing fire… and another animal… it's like a bird and it has… a tail of a snake? What kind of…"
A sudden chill ran down her spine.
"Wait, a creature who is half-snake and half-bird… don't tell me it's a basilisk. Then the other one is… a dragon. It breathes fire!"
Veronica was shocked by her own discovery.
This scroll was long. She unrolled the scroll entirely. The scroll ended up on the floor.
The paper was so fragile that she was being careful.
The words written on the scroll started to fade away.
She brought the scroll close to the torch and started to read.
It was almost the same story that Arthur told her, except, everything was in detail.
