Once Upon a Time

Chapter 4

~ Third person pov ~

It was late at night, maybe midnight, who knows. Evie was walking the school corridors. This time she wasn't watching through some mirror, she was going to the library. Everything about Yuu and where she came from piqued her curiosity. Now that she had permission to the forbidden area of the library, she would search there.

The library was empty, without lights. With her magic pen she created a purple flash of light and started walking. Walking through the dark corridors of the library for a while, he reached the point of the forbidden area. There was a lock on the door which she opened with the key the headmaster had given her.

The creaking of the old door was heard throughout the library. Evie stepped into the dusty room. The tiny light provided by her pole gave no light at all in the gigantic dark room. " shine like the sun, give light to the darkness" he muttered and a low shade of purple filled the room giving off a faint, almost faint illumination.

She sat still, looking around the gigantic room. It was dusty, the bookcases were made of thousand-year-old wood. The wooden floor creaked with every step she took. A few cobwebs in various places, an equally old wooden ladder that helped to climb the higher bookcases, a wooden corridor that circled upwards as the floor of the upper floors.

Evie inhaled slowly as she let the smell of old books and nearly decayed wood enter her nostrils. She exhaled slowly and made her way to the nearest bookshelves. Suddenly, a great creaking sound was heard on the wooden floor and the sound of something fast approaching could be heard in the room. Evie turned quickly, only to see a smaller staircase now near her. " what are you?" she asked curiously. Then the ladder quickly went to a bookshelf and returned with a book open to a page with a picture of a similar ladder.

She took the book in her hands and read the contents of the page.

magic staircase.

Many wizards and witches used to enchant the stairs of their libraries for convenience. By using a spell they gave intelligence to the ladder, so they would ask for the subject or book they desired and the ladder would bring it to them.

"wow, so you understand me?" he asked with interest. In response, the ladder creaked. "amazing" he muttered. "so... magical ladder, I would like you to bring me that book that exists on the subject of other dimensions and worlds" he told her. The ladder quickly moved across the library and returned with a large stack of books. He took them and sat down on one of the old and dusty seat cushions there.

She read all the books but none talked about Yuu's world, they mostly mentioned Wonderland and Neverland or one or two other worlds but nothing major.

As she returned the books to their place, the ladder approached her with a book open to a page with her mother. "um? I know who my mother is, I don't need to read a book" she said but the ladder dropped the book on her. "good" she replied and sat back in her seat. She opened to the page the ladder had given her and began to read.

Narissa, one of the great eight.

Queen of a "fairy tale" kingdom. A cunning woman who ruled with tyranny. She was strong enough to transform into a dragon, and vicious enough to poison some apples. Many believe that she is as powerful as the Queen of the Valley of Thorns.

Her beauty and charm compares to that of the evil queen and her cunning surpasses that of the witch of sea. She is considered one of the most powerful witches ever, as her knowledge surpassed that of our world. With her powers she managed to travel to other worlds and dimensions. As well as permanently sending people there. Little is known about the worlds he managed to explore but one we do know is
