The group stepped through the portal into what seemed like an endless room. It wasn't actually endless. The room more resembled an infinite caterpillar. Two walls visible the other two unperceivable. All around were neatly placed shelves with even more neatly organized books in them. In the middle of the infinite room, evenly spaced stood reading tables, green hooded laps shining on them. Odd-looking people were all around the infinite library. They were reading books or what could be cold a book.
Marco stared around trying to look indifferent but obviously impressed. "I didn't think dimension of infinite books was literal."
Pony Head snorted. "Of cores, you would think that." Marco glared at Pony Head for the remark.
Star excitedly twirled in front of her friends and explained. "This dimension holds copies of any books that where ever written. A famous picture book, a notebook of unfinished stories all of these works have a copy in this dimension."
"So anything that was ever written is here?" Marco asked alarmed.
"Not everything, just what is seen as a book. The dimension's magic is dependent on peoples' perception." Pony Head explained floating towards one of the empty tables.
Star and Marco followed the magical creature.
"If this place has all the books how would you even find stuff? Wouldn't it take for fucking ever to find anything?"
"Marco!" Star scolded the brunet for swearing.
"So elegantly put earthling. But a somewhat decent question. There is a system to avoid such waste of time." Pony Head pushed on an odd-looking stone sticking out of the table. The stone sparked with magic and then a liquid light shot out of it forming into a ball shape above the stone. It was a ghostly blue sphere dotted with golden symbols that seemed to change any time one lade their eyes on them. The symbols looked unknown but still somehow familiar. "You don't need to look for books yourself," pony head explained poking the pale sphere with her horn. Symbols lighting up as she did so. "You can request books to be found. It takes a while for the request to fulfil, but luckily for us, I put it up 2 weeks ago." A little square popped up on the sphere. "And the books should be here soon."
"That is amazing. Who build this place?" Marco asked, in awe of everything.
Pony head laughed, "Of course, you, would think someone built it."
Marco stared at Pony Head confused. "Well, how else would this place appear?"
"Well it just came to be," Star explained sitting down on to one of the comfy velvet seats. "Magic can do that. It can make marvellous things appear without an explanation. But I think there was someone that influenced this dimension? Or am I miss remembering something, Pony Head?"
"No your right there was a person who made the system and golems."
"Golems?" Marco asked.
A rolling of wheels echoed through the library. A wooden creature reeled a trolley full of books towards the three. It was an upside down cone with hand-like appendages floating next to it. Its round head was set into its body with two dots that somewhat simulated eyes. The golem's entire body was carved with thick paths filled with a pale blue substance. "That's one of them," Star explained pointing at the odd creature.
The golem approached the three. With an oddly soothing and melodic voice, it addressed Pony Head. "Books connected to St Olga, St Olga's school for princesses, history, headmistress, headmistress Heinous as requested by Princess Lilacia Pony Head. If you choose to take one of the books please mark it in the system". The golem bowed as much as a creature without legs can bow and floated away.
"That is fucking awesome," Marco muttered staring at the golem with wonder.
Star made an exasperated sound and buried her face in her hands. Marco and Pony head laughed.
"So, Star, what I need is a book called 'Comprehensive history of St Olga's school for princesses.' It's this thick book with a lavender coloured cover, which is decorated with spades. I don't know the author but if you find anything like that give it to me, and I'll check if that's the book I need. You can start looking through that side while I'll check this one."
Star smiled gently. "Absolutely." Star grabbed one of the books off the trolley with enthusiasm.
"What should I do?" Marco muttered exasperated.
"I don't know. Go read a picture book or something," Pony Head muttered opening a giant thick tome. Marco glared at her.
Star side. "Go look around. There is a lot of exciting stuff all around. There are not that many books to look through. So we shouldn't take more than half an hour. "
"Not that many books?" Marco said in disbelieve.
"Believe me it isn't," Star smile.
Marco side painfully. "Sure I'll just go stare at books. As if I don't do that at school." Marco sauntered off.
