This chapter has hallucinating reader and reader having thoughts(iykwim)

3rd person POV

"Are these the decryptions i asked for?" Ray asked.

Gilda slammed a stack of books onto the table as everyone crowded around to listen.

"Decryptions?" Yuugo picked up one of the books with a puzzled look that soon turned into shock. "This really was a book in the archives..."

When it comes to books about the promise and demons, it's the oldest one in the archives.

Even it's in tatters, or it's old, it may be useful in future.

"I deciphered it because Ray asked me to." Gilda flashed a smile towards him.

Yuugo flipped through the pages, still calming down from the shock. "It's not just the language that's old, it's written in a unique handwriting on rag-like paper, do you even know what language it is?"

"Mirrored Latin." Don answered with confidence.

"Latin?" Yuugo questioned yet again. "Mirrored writing?"

"Latin was a common language used in the ancient roman empire, mirrored writing is when you write the letters in reverse." Ray explained. "I noticed a latin dictionary sitting on the other shelf, but i didn't have time before going to Goldy Pond, so i asked the guys to decipher it."

"And when I read it, it was just as Ray suspected! The book is the copy of a manuscript written by a couple of people!" Don smirked.

"They were from different times and places. The Latin parts seem to be the oldest of all." Anna spoke.

"Then maybe that clan who made the promise... maybe it was a hand-written account, from 100 years ago!" Nat claimed.

"After finding words and making them more readable, I made a guess. I'm not sure about the exact contents but... Khavitidala. That's where it came from."

"Is it a place?" Emma asked. Gilda opened one of the books and pointed to a location the page with a map. "Here."

"New coordinates... are these the same as the pen?" Oliver questioned.

Emma and Ray sat down and began analysing the map. "With the eye of the Khavitidala dragon, search for the day and night. There aren't any other hints..."

"Let's head to Khavitidala then." Ray suggested. "D528-143"

"That's so far from here..." Three of the children muttered in unison.

"Who's going?" Yuugo asked.

Ray thought for a bit. "Our allies told us to stay in B06-32. For the most part, I want us to stay as well."

"Let's take a few of us. Bringing too many people will get us noticed."

Ray looked around the room, looking for those who were able enough. "First, me and Emma. Then, Don and Gilda."

"H-hey, are the small kids going to be okay with that?!" Yuugo interjected. "There's gonna be a lot of demons of course, and you won't have any kind of guide in this situation. We're headed into unknown territory here!"

Emma had a large smile plastered on her face as she replied. "I know that it's dangerous, and if you came along we'd be much stronger. However after we contacted our ally, we know that the enemy is definitely searching for us. They are definitely looking for this shelter. I don't want us to spread thin... this is the base of the cattle children, where we all live.

Yuugo, i want to ask you to keep the shelter hidden and protect everyone."

Yuugo pursed his lips together, seemingly reluctant.
