Chapter 6 - Don't ever damage library books...
She was in awe, staring at the towers of books that stood everywhere in her sight. Little will-o-the-wisps floated everywhere, serving as an object of illumination. Walking through each corridor, more books seem to open up to her. A giddy feeling sprouted from her heart knowing she was in a paradise of books.
Taking one into her hand, she began to read one. Yet, she couldn't understand it all. It was written in such a way that seemed like gibberish to her. It's alright, she thought, there was always another book. Reaching out to another one, she flipped it open. Only to see that it was still far from understandable.
'Child, you walk in the world the Nirvana of Knowledge,
A paradise of information, it is the pleasure of the mind,
Yet its secrets are secluded to the highest of Violet Mages,
They who have walked a glorious path as a Battle Mage.'
A song played in her ears. And she nodded to it, understanding that only a Battle Mage could unlock its secrets. She placed the book back into the shelf and wandered aimlessly away. The world of her dreams had revealed itself to her, yet she knew she could never read any of them. The horror of unable to attain it, despite it being in her hands was too much for her. Her legs collapsed, and she cried a soundless wail.
She knew she could never become a Battle Mage…
'..In other news, the Dragon Park Station had collapsed due to its ancient beams. It was fortunate enough that a train from Serdin had an emergency and stopped minutes before its time of collapse…'
News about the Dragon Park Station had gone out throughout Kanavan, especially when the station was the oldest standing station in the kingdom that was linked to another station in Serdin. The woman groaned after passing by the screens of television behind a glass pane of a shop, knowing what was really at fault but that didn't matter to her.
'How am I going to get back home…. All my research lies there… And I already told her that news here spread like wild fire. People will think that this event will be very suspicious…' She thought to herself, drinking her milkshake as she pouted. Half of her research was still stuck at her place at Serdin. Turning back, she could see three unsure faces, staring at her with confusion and caution. She couldn't blame them. She had suddenly came out of the blue, wrecked the station, calling herself Mari M. Onette and now treating them all to milkshakes and leading them around the small shopping district of Dragon Park. "Please relax, I'm really Mari."
The hetero eyes then stared at blue. "Rolan. You know me, don't you? We were ex-classmates in Noire High until I transferred to Serdin. Instead of Mari, I went under the name Melody Ming and I was still invited to that drinking party weeks ago and I came to make sure you were still alive."
The teacher stiffen to her plead. She sighed. "What would it take to make the three of you believe I am the Geas?"
"…. Well…" the three had looked at each other with concern. Rolan clears his throat. "You see…. I would easily believe you, especially with your weapon and your skills. It was tremendous, by the way. But the there of us could agree that the souls inside us aren't taking it easy to believe this…"
"Ronan… Ryan… Elesis… Why is that?"
Elaine charged up to her. Her red eyes looked straight to the woman's blue and red eyes. "Elesis says the Mari they know is a quiet, cold person who talks funny and likes to mind her own business and never smiles or laugh… And what you are… Well… You don't have the same aura…"
