The pile of books was slowly taking over the entire table, and it only continued to grow as the hours ticked on. Each of them had their heads deep into a different book no one daring to interrupt each other. This was already the third book that Rae was looking through in the past few hours and still there was nothing of use in it. Most spoke of lands that only existed in stories or artifacts no one had seen in centuries. Half the table was littered with discarded books they had read and the other half was a heap of books they still needed to get to.

“Anyone find anything yet?” she was the first to speak in what must have been at least an hour or two now. The group all just shook their heads in disappointment.

“Maybe we should go through what we do know one more time.”

“There was the group with a crown, a person’s shadow, a sun, a wolf, mountains, and the rest were scratched out,” Gavriel sighed his tone suggesting he thought this was pointless.

“Well, we know the group holding the crown was meant to represent whoever worshiped in that temple and them moving the crown, so there’s one piece,” Rory stated in a hopeful manner.

“And I am assuming that the shadow depiction is meant to refer to an ancient group of people with shadow abilities who had lived there. Maybe the sun or light drawing is supposed to represent some higher being like one of the goddesses,” Rae was reaching for an answer, but was not really sure what else it could even be.

Maybe the wolf is meant to help us identify which mountains it means? It's possible the crown is hidden at a mountain,” Rory shrugged, and Rae was pretty sure they had all come to a similar thought before she had said it.

“So far nothing in these books mentions anything about what group may have moved the crown from the temple and there are no old stories or legends that have any similar story to them.” This was proving to be even more impossible than Rae originally thought it would be. Why couldn’t the group have just left a simple map showing where they had moved the crown to?

“Maybe we should start looking through maps and books on different mountain areas and try to figure out if any relate to wolves, or anything similar,” River suggested.

If they were going to be continuing on like this, then Rae was going to need a snack to improve her spirits. She would have preferred a strong drink from the Den, but that was not possible at the moment. The realization hit her that she missed her friends back at the Den. She even missed the crowds at the Den and the strong drinks that tasted awful most nights. She would give
