Ashley rationalized to herself.<br/>Giving the tome a quick read, Ashley is dismayed to find that there is no history of Avonleigh, but curiously, there is and odd history of Dementlieu.  A puzzled look crossed Ashley's face and she turns to her companion, "Sylria, this is curious.  The book mentions this about Dementlieu, Directly to the east of Dementlieu [there is] a kingdom called Myrnia, where philosopher priests spread the light of a god they call Bryshna.   I have never heard of such a kingdom, nor of their god. Tutor made sure that a thorough history of our wonderful lands was exhaustively covered."<br/>Ashley raised her eyes from the book when she received no answer,  It is then that she sees the bloody letters form in the binding of the book on Sylria's lap.<br/>Ashley's breath catches in her throat, and she points to the book.<br/>When Sylria jumps from the chair, Ashley stares first at her and then at the book.<br/>"Something is definitely wrong in this house, and I am tired of being frightened witless." Ashley barks out as she stamps her foot.  "I won't hide, helpless to act."<br/>Facing Sylria, Ashley asks, "Do you think it was spelling out Justine?  Should we go find her just in case?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><strong>Sylria</strong>, Library [Ashley & Sylria]<br/><br/>When Ashley speaks about the history of Dementlieu, I barely even notice.  The blood is more concerning to me, and I glance at her, speaking a bit dryly. "I hardly know anything, especially about Dementlieu.  I first heard the name yesterday, in fact.  And as for the house, I have noticed a number of oddities so far.  This just...makes it even more concerning.  Why did this happen?  How?  I am not certain myself, but I certainly aim to find out.  And I don't know Justine, but the question is, why would it be her name?  It could easily be something else, though I do not know what."
