Story of a girl who wanted EVERYTHING

Chapter 4

The Master of the Library wore the name Erikh and I knew immediately that fate brought me to that library. Master Erikh was a really old man and I supposed he wasn't originally from the Clan of Heaven Seers. He was wearing white, but that was all he was similar to the Seers – he wore his hear short, he had light blue eyes. I supposed he married into the Clan or something. He somewhen lost his right arm (yes, the whole arm) and was only able to move in a wheelchair. Most of the time he looked like a nice old-timer. Yet when someone didn't hold a book right (apparently, there was a wrong way to hold a book), he could seem like a furious monster.

The library had two floors, we started on the ground floor. First, we had to check every book on the enormous cupboards to see if they were on the right place. He divided the library into five parts and handed out the tasks and the place we should start.

My working area was between Tyler's and the young master's – Master Erikh spent about fifteen minutes watching only one of us to see if we were doing our job right. When it was time to watch me, I dared to look down from the ladder and say:

- Master Erikh, I have a question.

- Is it about the library? – he asked back.

- No.

- Well, shoot it then – he shrugged.

- Master Erikh, you are a Fire type, right? – I asked. He looked a little surprised for a moment, then he grinned. In a way that I believed he was a charming man in his time.

- Well, Fire knows Fire, hmm? – he asked and I had to laugh.

- Something like that. I very hope so – I murmured the second sentence only, but he heard it well.

- So, young girl, you got Fire on your first test. You think you'll get it in the official Choosing too? – he sounded truly curious. From the corner of my eye, I noticed the young master slowing down a little. Maybe he was eavesdropping? Or maybe I was thinking too much into it.

- I believe so. I'll get Fire next time too – I nodded finally.

- You sound sure in it – Master Erikh noted.

- That is Winnie's dream – I heard Tyler saying this while he moved his ladder to start another aisle on the cupboard.

- Your dream is to be a Fire type? – Master Erikh looked at me astonished.

- To be honest, it's just a necessity for my real dream – I specified.

- And what would that be? – the Master asked.

- I want to wield the Sword of the Draagon – I said it without any shame. I could see the clear shock on the face of Master Erikh. Young master Deán almost dropped a book out from his hand. Kianna turned towards me immediately. Hakare had no idea what I was talking about.

- Are you crazy? – Kianna asked simply.

- Yes, I am – I smiled.

- Well, if you want to wield that sword, you must be crazy up to a point, that's true – Master Erikh shook his head. – But there is a long way that leads a warrior there.

- I know that right. The first obstacle is the Choosing, though. I passed the first test, that's why I was let to come here this age – I said. I knew that there was another reason too, but I wasn't that eager to share that with everyone. My main ambition wasn't a secret, though.

- You know that ninety-nine percent of the first Fires become another element type by the official Choosing, right? – Kianna still hardly believed my words.

- Yes, I know. I'll be that one percent. Here's the living example that there are still Fire types out in the world – I looked at Master Erikh.

- I am almost a hundred years old, young girl. When I had my Choosing, Fire types weren't practically extinct yet. It wasn't such a miracle to have a Fire type discovered... but now, this would be a big, big miracle – the Master said.
