章 59: Forgotten Raven

The atmosphere in the restricted section of Thornwood Academy's library was thick with an oppressive silence, as if the very air had conspired to suffocate any who dared enter. Ancient tomes and forbidden scrolls lined the shelves, their spines cracked and their pages brittle with age.

The room was shrouded in darkness, with the only illumination filtering through the narrow gaps of heavy, dust-covered curtains that hung over the arched windows. This dim light cast elongated shadows that danced on the walls, playing tricks on the mind, making the space feel more like a crypt than a repository of knowledge.

It was a place where information was not simply hidden away, but rather buried beneath layers of time, guarded by the weight of secrecy, and the oppressive air held a sense of foreboding—a tangible reminder of the horrors that could be unearthed if one were to stray too far into the depths of forbidden lore.
