Anastassia woke to find the room dark. Lucian was at her side. She got to her feet quietly and dressed. She collected the journals along with a candle and went out into the hall. She held the wick of the candle between her fingertips and concentrated. When she opened her fingers the candle was lit. She went out to the stable where she sat with Constantine.
He morphed into his human form which was a man of Lucian's height with closely cropped dark hair, tanned skin, and his same eyes. He was dressed in leather. He sat beside Anastassia. Together they read all night in search of anything that might point them in the right direction.
After reading all of the journals they had found a few places that might be worth checking into. Anastassia made a list on the last page of the last journal as it was empty. She wrote with a piece of hay and her blood as she didn't have a quill or ink.
"I am going to the library. I should be able to find a map or two that will help."
"I shall wait here for you," Constantine said as he made the change back into a horse.
"You could come help me look."
"I helped enough for now. I am tired."
"All right," Anastassia said as she rolled her eyes, "See you later then."
