Sylvia's brows were furrowed in thought as she read and thought about the possible clues and thoughts in her head. She too came from a pit in the earth. But it quickly disappeared...could she have come from the same pit where the dragon was said to be? She almost didn't want to think about the implications that thought held. She did wonder as to why Erod casted the sword back into the darkness. Wouldn't he want to keep that sword just in case the dragon broke the seal? And if she came from the same pit, then why didn't she see a silver sword nearby? What if that dream she had meant that the dragon was going to break the seal, if it wasn't broken already? Judging from the text, the dragon from the dream and the dragon in the text may very well be the same if the army of monsters was of any indication. 

Deciding that the questions and thoughts were going to confuse her and throw her into a tizzy, she shook her head and she kept reading. 

The Arisen...

Reading about them, she couldn't help but think about that and recall them from the previous text vaguely. Deciding to look more into the Arisen, she decides to go back to the first book and reread. It couldn't hurt to reread and see if she could find any more details that she might have forgotten or missed the first time around. And if that didn't work, then she could ask the acolyte if there were any more texts on the Arisen.
