With the compass token securely stored in her inventory, Evangeline collected Laura and took off for the next Youkai village along their route.
This one was a simple farming village and the moment they arrived, Evangeline realized that she had miscalculated. It was almost dark, so most of the village was asleep, and it was too small to have anything resembling an inn.
Neither she nor Laura actually needed to sleep, but they weren't going to find out anything from sleeping villagers.
"Welcome, Seraphim. What brings you here so late at night?" The guard at the chain link fence which served as their village wall asked.
"We are on a quest to find a Librarian. An Elf that is believed to have a book from the Ancients." Evangeline explained.
