She heard a sound from behind; like rats scratching wood. It was impossible to have rats in this place. Afterall, the library was on a floating piece of rock. No living being except them, the Biraddali, was supposed to be there. Unless, those rats grew a pair of wings to fly.
With fear, she grabbed a glowing blue crystal. She was also gripping her small dagger tightly with her left hand.
Trembling, she stayed under the light. If ever there's something hiding in the darkness, it wasn't there to give a friendly welcome.
