Jake Gartner here. For some reason, something kept those mutant serpents away from us. Chase Johnson, my friend, is over here with me at the 도서관, 라이브러리 of Death. Yeah. Bad name for a library, if 당신 ask me. I would never have come here in the first place, had no one ever bothered me with a ransom note about my mother dying if I didn't go on this life-or-death journey. (Sorry, I have to speed the story up now. Chase says I'm getting all the attention.) So, what we found out at the library. Not much. All we found out was that mutant serpents tend to be very huge, have sharp teeth, and stay away from most humans. Which we found true at the battle, except for the fact that the mutant serpent attacked me, so, that would be partially true. It attacked me, no one else. Oh yeah, Chase too. I have a feeling that someone 또는 something, maybe a magical spell, is protecting us. The librarian there, Mr. Ankersant, was telling us that the dead usually rise if the mutant serpent shows up. Great. That helps a lot. Chase is suggesting right now that we go back to the Gods' Sanctuary and take a break for the day. 당신 know, boost up our energy, get a good grip on tomorrow's events, get prepared for any life-consuming disasters, that sort of thing. I agreed, but not because I wanted a rest (well, I did, after my work is done), but because I wanted to work on the mutant serpent's information, privately. Not that I want to leave Chase out on anything, just that it feels better without him, and I work better and faster. Alright, I'll leave tonight for another chapter. Ciao for now.
