He set the book down, sitting down at the table. "Alright."

The slightly elderly man moved over as he began to brush off the book. Once said tome was cleared up he slowly opened the book and began to turn the pages. However, when he began to try to decipher said text his entire body trembled and it looked like he took just about all his willpower to close the book rather frantically before he stepped back in what looked like shock. He then began to recite some form of hymn or prayer.

"This book, it-it's unholy! Th-the texts talked about unleashing demons! We must bury this book, right away!"

He blinked, confused. "What's wrong with it? It was in the ruins over there." He gestured at the ruins, then turned back to the book. "Look, just tell me what it says, and then we can bury it, or whatever."

"Young man, this book was used to imprison and entrap dark spirits, demons. If I were to decipher what it said for even a moment I could potentially awaken their foul spirits and we would be powerless.It's best if we bury this book, who knows what ancient evil lies dormant within the confines? The ruins were once owned by a sorcerer, legend has it this very town was once under siege by demons and he was able to seal them away. This maybe the very prison for said demons." The old man stated.

He thought for a moment, agreeing with the man, but now even more wanting to know what it said. He took the book back and slipped it into his back, pulling out a small sack of coins. "How much?" He asked, hoping that he could pay the old man to decipher the book.

"I'm afraid nothing on this world is worth the cost of my soul, my days are numbered due to age already. At least I would want to live out the rest of my time knowing that in the afterlife I am a free man." The elderly librarian simply stated as he shook his head.

He sighed, putting the sack back into his bag. "Could you at least tell me what language it is?" He asked, resigned.
