Matt was beginning to wonder if the mansion was abandoned, though from the shape it was in there had to be someone maintaining the place. Just as he reached for the door to knock again, it swung open and a young woman smiled at him awkwardly. She had long white hair, which was usual all by it's self but she was wearing a bandana, overalls and a pair of shoes you would not normally see worn by a beautiful woman such as her. The smell of fresh dirt and wild flowers accompanied her. It was a pleasant scent.

“Oh, hello. My name’s Heaven Thatcher. Is there something I can do for you?” bandana-girl said with a smile. Her voice was pleasant as well.

'Heaven, that suits her just fine' Matt thought to himself. 'But what do I say? a mysterious book led me here and I have no idea why?'. Those were the kinds of things that get people arrested, but honestly Matt had no real options. With luck, maybe Heaven would just think it was a bad prank. Matt fished the book out of his pack and held it for Heaven to see.

"Good morning. I am Mattrim Hawthon" he said as he introduced himself with a small bow. He saw her eyes taking him in, particularly the collar along his neck. He ran a finger across it nervously, wishing not for the first time that he could take the thing off. "I umm.....was led here...by this book".

'Yeah, that wasn't awkward at all' Matt berated himself as he handed the 'Strength' book to Heaven. Maybe she would have idea about what it was. Or even who he was.
