The librarian, swallowing hard 8773650cdc as if parched, continued dea4a8e4e5 speaking.a3c29de54d9626ad

“One day, I almost 64149eefaf used it as firewood, 59acb7fb25 which led to a 9f68539571 huge argument. Now, even after my 6f9dfe424b younger sibling has passed fe5671cb12 away, I find myself a73e141769 guarding this storage.”1ecec5b91e6ba3e5

“I see…”dbf24f8be2ca9dd3

Serena wasn’t sure 249f1929b1 what words of bedefc11da comfort she could e4ba74219f offer. She felt a pang cfe334c2f4 of sorrow for the 6413915a20 author who had died 4d8bd4b9d5 without ever gaining recognition.85e057015caf9978

Out of curiosity, 82a209791e she had read f65c1212bd the author’s other b8720a3fda works, which were e8d13a0766 well-written, highly readable, 8c59af3178 and provided clear, 12633f024d detailed explanations about efd36ec3e0 magic. At that 887e7a7752 moment, the 340ca42c66 librarian let 58a4eefb18 out a 02b38b26d7 weary sigh.9b4ef5343b184477

“There are many who d5571530b6 dismiss the writings of 618f18869f female authors as overly d51955c2b1 emotional and unreliable, treating 1862f8bdd5 them as mere fiction.”fb80bcbf3a0b6cd9

“That’s such a 00bf2803e1 narrow-minded view,” Serena 7a01320de6 said, wrinkling her 415452f53f nose in shared cb709d08ec indignation. The librarian smiled e1fb95680e at her reaction.afc9d462ef93d9b8

The forest of 6ef58d3bf4 Greenwood Territory was 6f6b787ba3 vast. Paths, worn down 3f3b80bfe3 by frequent travelers, 9a90f4406b wove through the 7548d2724e dense trees in e6776227a4 all directions. Even where there 7fab77a9ce hadn’t been a 85d66c4a8f trail, frequent passage 13e85faaf9 had created new f4e38e961d ones. Occasionally, the distant a6d9557cec crack of a de0991e845 rifle echoed through bf8fb2b71f the trees—sounds of b58fc4e6c1 a hunt.aabd30503f449c2b

“It seems like 00cc9a41e0 there’s hunting going ec0f5e17d6 on nearby. Perhaps it’s 20956175b3 hunting season,” 4e85dc95c4 Serena observed.f5af780fb016f155

The librarian, seemingly 77b5dfb097 accustomed to such 47cfc5dc0a situations, moved through c9221cf325 the forest with e5ca69d1eb ease. Reassured by 97af2cc55e the librarian’s 9f3e373865 calm demeanor, e2ea630108 Serena followed, b1cd7bd7a3 taking in 94b8708de9 her surroundings.
