<p>The monk quickly shook his head and pressed the book forcefully back into their paws. &ldquo;The deal has been made. Your wages are in the refectory, please take them and your belongings and leave.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Leave? But I&ndash;&ldquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Leave. The monastery thanks you for your work but you must leave at once. You must be away by nightfall. Perhaps then the librarian shall recover, but&hellip;&rdquo; And with that, the monk rushed off.</p>
<p>Belek stumbled numbly to the refectory and picked up the small bag of coins left atop their cap and cloak.

They continued on to the dormitory where the rest of their belongings lay, shouldered their pack, and were on the road north before the sun began its long, slow decent toward evening.</p>

<p>They did not rightly know why they decided to remove the book from their pack and open the cover. Perhaps it was another whispered <em>Belek</em>, and perhaps it was something more akin to a compulsion.</p>
<p>More, they did not know <em>how</em> they were able to read the book. The language, when they focused their eyes, was not one that they knew, but were they to let their eyes drift just out of focus, the meaning came to them. It came in waves, in gusts, in inexorable torrents. It washed over Belek and left their stomach rolling and their eyes watering.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The deal has been made,&rdquo; the presence between the pages repeated, comforting in the most unnerving of ways. &ldquo;And now you will go north.&rdquo;</p>
