The Door opened slightly and the burst of Egyptian sun that was behind it could've blinded the two Elementalists, who had been in a cavern only lit by torchlight up until that point. The room was magnificent, a fine, completely intact example of Ptolemaic architecture. It was a room that was twelve sided in shape, but with a circular center.
In each of the twelve sides of the room there was an elaborate shrine to one of the Zodiac Books, covered in beautiful cloth that was dyed to match their shining light. The Books themselves would come as a shock to the two travelers from the future, because they were bound beautifully and colored richly that matched the light that came within their pages, unlike the charred, beaten up books of the future.
In the center of the chamber were murals both on the ceiling and the floor. The ceiling depicted the twelve signs of the Zodiac in their constellation forms. The floor depicted twelve human-looking figures raising their hands up in what appeared to be praise. Their faces, however, expressed both agony and sorrow.
And, of course, standing on the central mural was a nervous looking man, gripping an opened book in his hand, bathing his anxious face in crimson light. When he heard the door open again, he nearly dropped the book in his fear. Seeing the two wizards, he yelled out in a tentative, shaky Latin, "Who are you!?"

Yamaroshi felt a jolt of excitement as the mechanism gave one final click. Perhaps this would be the final one, and the door to the zodiac chamber would open. And it did.
Yamaroshi had to shield his eyes from the glaring light. As they adjusted for the sudden brightness, the boy looked around the room in awe. He noticed that each of twelve corners, there was a zodiac book, with the exception of the corner which should have held Leo.
Yamaroshi quickly realised it was in the possession of the man in front of them. Maybe this man was the reason the three books of air had gone missing.
He shouted something in some language Yamaroshi did not understand. Yamaroshi turned his head to Talon. "What now?".
