CALEB POV
The words on the old book were moving.
I blinked hard, thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me from all the stress. But no - the text on the page was physically shifting around, letters rearranging themselves into new sentences. Words I'd read a hundred times before were suddenly saying totally different things.
"That's impossible," I whispered, leaning closer to the book in my hands. We were still trapped in the gray pocket world while Devourers attacked from all sides, but I'd grabbed one of Elder Iris's texts during the chaos. Old habits die hard, I guess - when everything goes wrong, I look for answers in books.
"Caleb!" Lily's voice called out as she fought off another shadow thing. "Now isn't really the time for reading!"
"But this is important!" I shouted back, ducking as a Devourer swooped over my head. "The text is changing! It's showing me things that weren't there before!"
