Cafi walked rapidly down the aisle, running her finger along the spines of the books. She had in her robe that strange potion which she had received in the mail after her birthday. It looked pretty much like water, only a little thicker. She hadn't dared uncork it. She didn't know why, but it had come with no instructions on how to use it or what it was. That was the reason for her being in the library. There was an itching desire in her to know what it was, what it was sent to her for, and why whoever sent it was so secretive. She had spent the summer at a relatives place, because her parents were in Rome, and had not been able to reach a library the whole time she was there. Since she had gotten back, she had spent an hour every day searching the library for some clue as to what this little vile contained. So far, she had not found much, only short sections where clear potions were mentioned, but not enough to work with. Now, as she scanned the aisle, one name stood out to her. 'Potions and their Uses. A general guide to most of the known potions,' Was it's label. Reaching out, Cafi pulled the book down off it's shelf and walked with it over to a table. As she sat down in a chair with her book in hand, she heard someone coming.
