Chapter 5

What does the book say?
Nothing good...
The book felt hot to the touch as soon as she opened it, bathing her in blackened magic fire. She's not hurt, but the experience was still scary as hell as the black flames washed over her. The book screamed a baleful, human lamentation, the pages curling into a face as it gave itself over to agony before disintegrating to dust. As it disappeared from existence a shockwave of magic rolled over her, making her feel... A little... What's the uh... The word... Oh, yeah. Dumber.
Otherwise the evening was quiet. Nothing happened as evening became night and the darkness swelled to envelop her and the abandoned camp.
