Library

"I know, Ino," Alison responded, her voice tinged with impatience. "But we don't need to find any books here. Let's search for a secret chamber or hidden passage. We can at least explore two rows of the library tonight. Tomorrow, we can continue our search."

They set to work, their footsteps echoing softly in the stillness as they walked down the aisles, scanning the walls for any signs of hidden chambers or concealed passages. The library's secrets were elusive, and the shadows that surrounded them seemed to hold the mysteries close.

The flickering lanterns on the walls cast eerie shadows that danced across the towering bookshelves. The dim illumination created an otherworldly ambiance, and the only sound that filled the air was the soft echo of their own footsteps as they moved cautiously through the labyrinthine aisles.
