Chapter 192: Book

Chapter 192: Book

While both Grimgrip and Helena showed interest in the tree they clearly weren't aware of it's true significance and soon looked over at the rest of the undocumented items in the vault. Steve on the other hand was whining and struggling to try and leave the pocket he was in to get to the small mountain of glittering silver and gold. Nick had made sure that this was impossible when he decided to bring the greedy little one alongside them on this trip since he knew how the niffler would react. The poor creature was clearly distressed at the inability to pilfer the vast hoard of wealth before it but Nick ignored it.-

Instead he turned his attention towards the book shelf at the side of the vault that held only a handful of books. Despite the stasis charm on them they looked positively ancient which meant that they were likely very old when Rowena Ravenclaw obtained them. 'Perhaps one of these books might shed some light on the situation.' Nick thought and walked over to the bookshelf and reached out to grab a book. It was an animal hide bound thing with thick papyrus pages and extreme signs of age.-

There was no title on the cover so Nick carefully opened it to reveal the contents of the first page. There were lines of dense markings that Nick knew were words thanks to his ability but that he didn't recognize at all. He could read the writing of course but he honestly didn't know what language this was at all. {For whomever may be reading this work know that if you are bellow the first threshold of power that the contents of this work may result in your demise. If you wish to avoid this possibility put this work back where you found it until you reach the first threshold.}-

"How do you know for sure?" she asked hoping to be able to refute this world shattering revelation but Nick merely reread the passage from the book making her go eerily silent as she processed this information. "No one else can know about this." Nick said and Helena nodded seriously as Nick stored the book away in Greed. Clearly he needed to read this book to understand what was so important that someone would write it addressing him personally millennium later. Hopefully it wasn't something along the lines of him being the savior of the world or some such as he had no wanting to take this role at all.
