(Apologies I didn’t see it) “Well, most of our theology books were bought by the Church of Ezra, even our occult writings.”

Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
“Those were also taken by the Church. Ezra, may her Mist guide us, is goddess of the Mist, and any writings about it can be found in her church’s libraries.”
As you exit the library, the streets are still bustling with men and women heading to the Carnival - but a few are straggling or staying behind entirely. A signpost towards the edge of the street points you to the church near the far edge of the city. “Ezrine Chapel of the Mist”, it reads. As you follow it, you come to a large cathedral. A man in blue robes can be seen outside, sitting on the steps reading a book. He looks up upon seeing footsteps, revealing greying hair and a soul patch beard. “What can I do for you, friends? Have you come to offer prayer to the goddess?”
Amira shows no signs of interest after she fails to fine anything magic in the library. She will keep the spell up as they leave in case they are able to make it to the cathedral before it ends.

"Um, not today. We're here to find books on occult studies that the library told us that you had. We need them for... research."
“Allow me to escort you fine folks inside.” The man says as he moves to the doors - the large wooden doors with silver handles. ”This is the Great Cathedral, the largest in all of Borca. Parishioners from all over come here to worship and pray.” He opens the door to reveal a large inner room, with rows and rows of pews, with an altar at the very front of the room, led to by a beautiful grey rug. The altar has the same grey drapes upon it, and on the front side of the altar is a stand which holds a kite shield. Upon the kite shield is a sprig of belladonna. The room is, despite its grey coloring on the walls and the effects about it, oddly beautiful.
Amira will use the last vestiges of her Detect Magic spell to search for anything that seems to he magically potent. If nothing catches her eye the spell fades she will follow the others into the library section of the church to look for anything that catches her eye.

As she she looks she will hum a small tune and cast Guidance on herself.
No magic is noticed by the spell - but your eyes do pick up some interesting texts: “The First Book of Ezra.”, “One or Separate? An Ezrine Theologian’s Study of the World.”, and “Not Hala’s Harlot: An Extensive Study of Ezrine Heresy.”
"Thank you very much miss, have a pleasant day" True says as he turns to leave

The spell does not find any magic until you reach the church - it’s coming from within.

"While my friends do that, I would love an opportunity to learn your religion"

"Quaint, it reminds me of home" The belladonna reminds him of the yellow rose
"I was going to say the same." (Covers mouth) "I mean... the same about a... friend I knew..."
“Well, I’m glad it elicits positive feelings.” The Priest says as he pats both men on the back. “Feel free to study the library, my friends.”
"Well, let's see what we have here!"
