	You hear a whispered word coming from somewhere in the barn. "Ahhhh, I sseee the little fae mortal hasss s found my horcrux. You hold in your handsss my greatessst prizzzzze." You look around for who is talking but don't see anyone in the barn with you.
	"Let usss make a deal, you and I. You return my prizzzze, and I will teeeach you muccch about the magicssss you possssessss." You hear a scraping sound coming from above you in the shadowy rafters.
	<p>"Who are you? Where are you?" you yell, looking for the owner of the strange sibilant voice.</p>
	"I am Zzathrezzz, Lord of Ssserpentsss." As the voice continues from above, you see a large snake emerge out of the shadows. Outside the barn, you hear Bandit start to loudly bark. Zathrez hisses in annoyance.
	<p>"That dog isss a noicccenccce!"</p>
