Daylight had already left and the crescent moon hung in the sky like a small jewel.
He turned the page of the book he was reading the noise echoing in the almost empty library.
He had long stopped pretending he was there to learn.

He shook the thoughts away and went back to reading though he was forcing himself.
A worn tome on dark elf territorial laws lay before him, the ink on the pages almost faded but not completely. It was still readable if you had better eyes.
