Chapter 2021 Locked In

The chamber was about eight feet tall, but Willow jumped anyway. Jasper caught her, and they clung to each other. With her arms wrapped around his neck, Willow felt safe in his embrace. Jasper held up a lamp for Willow while she checked things out. A moment later, she found a metal box and opened it, revealing a few pieces of yellowing paper within. Even though it was probably a thousand years old, she could still make out the words. Some of the papers had broken down, however. Willow quickly took a few photos and made sure she didn't make any noise. Once she was done, the papers started rotting as they had been exposed to the humidity in the air, and they turned into dust.
