The book that Bonamius picks off of the shelf is extremely old. The pages are falling apart and the binding barely holds, but there is enough to at least open it up and look at some of the few remaining pages. On them is an odd, rune-like language written both horizontally and diagonally, almost scribbled in places, checkered with small, seemingly magical diagrams...though what, exactly, they show is impossible to decipher.
Victor is, in fact, able to grab the book out of the figure's hands. Though the book looked to be the same transluscent colour at first, grabbing it revealed it to be a brown-backed ancient tome that looked to match many of the others. The figure on the bed jumped slightly when the book was removed, and then immediately began looking around with a rather panicked expression on his face, though he didn't say anything and still didn't seem to take any notice of anyone else.
The book that Victor took from the figure is much like the one Bonamius found on the shelf, filled with seemingly-random notes and magical inscriptions, all of which were written in an odd language that was almost familiar and yet altogether alien. Save for a few pictures of vague humanoids here and there, it was all text and circles and other diagrams.
