Aria browsed the self and found several books that could be useful, however she did find one that looked like it could belong in the children's section of the library - Monsters from Á Bao A Qu to Zunbera-bō. Aria couldn't help it, she pulled the rather thick book out. Surely it couldn't contain many, the entire library was full of monsters, and journals of monster hunters and so much more that Aria hadn't even tried to think about.
With three books in hand Aria went to find a comfortable place to sit and browse through the books. Unfortunately none of the comfortable chairs had a table to put the books on. So she sat at the table nearest a warm crackling fire. It was better than nothing, she supposed.
Because of the curious nature of the title Aria pulled open From Á Bao A Qu to Zunbera-bō. Aria half expected to find a picture book with rhyming words at the end of each sentence, but what she found was far more complicated. This rather large tome was an index of sorts. It was a hand written account of books. In some cases there were short descriptions and various tips and tidbits written in the margins. Aria smiled, it looked like something she would do. It made Aria curious to who the author was.
She flipped the cover over and found no names, she looked in the most common of places and found nothing. No belongs to or anything of that nature labeled the tome. It was strange, most people wanted their stuff back. But this book was a perfect starting point for creating her database of monsters. If it truely held all known monsters in it then it was a very treasured resource.
Aria hoped that monsters were listed alphabetically. It looked like it for the most part, but sometimes a few things slipped between the craps. This book had to be bound after the fact, much like the one Father Dimitri had sent her. Her own beginnings of a tell-all about the monsters she had hunted.
This person was very curious and she wondered about the author even more. Aria flipped to approximately where the Ijiraq might be found. Sadly it was not in it's place. With a heavy sigh Aria filled through the preceding few pages and the later few pages until she found the Ijiraq entry. It listed three books - From Mist to Man, Controlled by the Gods and Journal of Elenora Martello.
At least now she had a place to start. But Aria doubted that she would find what she was looking for here. While massive it was far from the libray in the depths of the Historical Society. But it couldn't help to search. But where to start. Aria got up from her table and started looking, searching, surely there was some sort of system. Now she only needed to find it
