"If you see her, tell her to be safe, please!" she would ask.
After faring goodbye to the soft-hearted vampiress, Cyra sneaked out of the tower, and back at the main body of the castle. Garus wasn't advertised to be in his study by anyone, so perhaps he would be there, where nobody would expect him to be?
Luckily the token that was supposed to grand passage to her was still working, and she failed to stumble upon a wandering armor patrol.

Finally, after following the instructions she had been given before, Cyra arrived at the study. It was the room next to the master bedroom - and even if for obvious reasons the vampire had no need for a bed, Tianka suspected there probably was a hidden passage between the study and the bedroom next door.
Still, once Cyra entered the room she would find out that such a thing was probably impossible. The wall at the right side of the room was only decorated by a large global (political) map of a world Cyra could not recognize. Any secret doors on this wall would be easily spotted. On the opposite wall, there was a small bookcase. There were only a few ancient leather bound books however - the majority of the shelves were filled with half melted, lit candles.
In the wall straight ahead, there was a sizable desk with a small tome covered with black leather places right in the middle. On the side there was a pen, a vial of red ink, and a pouch with white sand.
At the same time, Cyra would hear the sound of a organ, faintly coming from somewhere below.
Two books, and a strange music...but which one to investigate first?
