The Wither's Wake

Chapter 4: The truth

Green burst through the doors. Walking at an incredible speed, with great strides. I had to lightly jog. The room was light and airy, with a nice smell of a flowered candle. "Father." Green demanded. "Where is the library of destiny?" He was looking angry. "Oh, son. You have finally come back to me." He turned around, he was a towering man, probably 6 feet tall. He was wearing a satin red robe. No crown, at least not for now. "What makes you want to come to the kingdom for the books?" Green strode forward, "where is it father?" The king sighs. "Oh son, I have missed you, you have been gone for so long." He sighed more and looked at us. He looked temporarily amused. "Your friends?" I shrink behind Richard. "Haha, It's fine. I'll lead you now." He starts walking, very quickly.

We reached a large room with many bookshelves. "Oh, and you don't have to worry about becoming king and all..." Green looked confused. "I've had another heir... one that is much more loyal than you.." He stalked to the side of the room. He sighs, "Do as you like." Green motions for Richard to stay and for me to go. He sighs as we walk down the large library. "My father is a terrible king... forcing anyone who comes to stay..." He mutters "really...? I had no idea he was so bad..." I feel like a scaredy cat. He stopped at a large bookshelf . "Let me get the elevator." He walked to a large lever. He pulled it and it seemed rusted. It finally busted. A large platform moved down to me. "Hop on, I need you to get your and I's book ok?" I hobbled over, as soon as I touched the platform with two feet, I shot up. Losing my balance, I fell on my butt, It bruised. "It should be right there!" He shouted up to me.

I saw the two books and another with Richards' name on it. I grab green and I's book looking at tom's... I grabbed it. About five seconds later, as the lever was transporting me to the floor, an explosion happened...
