While Sarytha didn't want to show the same level of doubt as Kendra did by biting her lip, she couldn't deny that she was fearful of whatever might be in the chest. Sure, she knew there were tomes waiting inside, but...of what nature? For what purpose were they used? There was so much to consider at once, and so little information to work with. Nonetheless, she<em>did </em>unlock the chest, looking in on its contents, only to find the aforementioned tomes, and a single newer one, albeit seemingly damaged, a message clawed eerily into the cover. Steadying herself, she carefully took the tome into her hands, looking it over once more before checking it for any kind of lock. Once satisfied, she'd flip the cover open and begin reading whatever it was the tome had to offer her.
