Chapter Eight - The Sea Of Stories

Chapter Eight -The Sea Of Stories

The automatic doors opened and allowed Jade and Leroy to enter the building.

"Where are we?" Leroy questioned aloud.

"Where does it look like, dumb-ass." Jade chuckled back.

Everywhere Leroy looked all he could see were shelves full of books. He scrunched up his nose at the realisation that he was now in a library. He'd never been to a library before, never felt the need to.

"Don't pull a face." She tutted. "You might actually like it here...although...they don't serve alcohol here so maybe not." She continued with a wink before walking off into the sea of stories.

Shaking his head at her comment, he quickly followed in her footsteps. As he was following however, a few books caught his eye. They were about swords. He had never told anyone but they had always fascinated him. Maybe not to the extent that mythical stories fascinated Jade but still he liked swords and was intrigued by their design and how they had changed over the years.

Looking back up he noticed that Jade was nowhere to be seen. Oh joy. She'd only gone and left him behind. Now he was lost. Worst of all he was lost in a library. Bloody books. Just when Leroy thought he'd have to try and find his own way out of this hell-whole, a head popped around the corner.

"You coming or what?" Jade smiled.

"Surprise, surprise." Leroy spoke with sarcasm. "All these books are about...guess what.... Brazil."

"Quit moaning and pass me that book." Jade commanded, pointing to the book on the shelf, just above his head.

Being the obedient young man he was, Leroy pulled the book off the shelf and throw it towards Jade who caught it with ease.

"Nice catch."

"I try." She said with a smile.

"So..." He began as he moved closer to Jade who had now placed the open book on the table which lay before them. "....What are we looking for?"

"I'm trying to find some more information on the 'Brazilian Tribes' and what language they spoke, then we could use that information to translate the clue."

"Surely it would be easier to just find some old wise woman that still speaks the language to translate it for us. There's usually an old woman, right? Or an old man-"

Jade rolled her eyes.

"No. We're not in some book, Lee. There is no 'wise old women' or 'wise old man' that still speaks the language. It died out years ago. Nobody speaks it anymore."
