A scene
The savant Nebamun has catalogued scrolls in the Library at Acheron for thirty years, and he has learned to distrust anything wrapped in red linen. Before unrolling the newest arrival, he murmurs a short prayer to Heru and looks. For a single minute, everything within a few steps of his desk is laid open to his sight. The ink on the scroll glows faintly. So does the seal. So, alarmingly, does a small dead beetle tucked inside the wrapping. Nebamun sends for tongs.
