I was finally hearing the information I needed.
Lee Dokho was an Apostle. He'd just confirmed my suspicions with his own words. That meant he, too, was a reader of Song of Nightmares, just like me. But there were still gaps in my understanding.
Feigning confusion, I asked, "Apostles? Why do you call yourselves that? You mentioned a group. Are there more of you?"
"I'll get to that. Just listen to my story," Lee Dokho responded with a sharpening tone. "We call ourselves Apostles because we are the only ones who have read the Ancient Texts."
"Ancient texts? You mean a grimoire?"
"It's something similar but different from a book of sorcery. We call such a book the '[Book of the End]."
Book of the End?
