His shoulder-length black hair was greasy and made his pale skin and long nose seem even more pronounced than they were. His mood was as black as his robes. He had struggled for a week before coming to this decision. Tucking a worn book back into his robe's pocket, he fought the demon the book's presence had revealed.
