Raylo looked at the unremarkable ancient tome, a smile touching his lips.

'The wrath of the Light Holy See?'
'It didn't matter.'
Master Barnaby cradled the *Life Secret Scripture*, his cloudy eyes shining with a fanatical light. His expression made Raylo think that with just a single nod from him, the master would swallow the book whole right then and there.
"Young Raylo..."
"No, Lord Raylo! My most respected Lord!"
Barnaby's attitude did a complete one-eighty. He rubbed his hands together, his face plastered with a fawning smile.
