A New Discovery (The dryad discovery 1)

The forbidden library

(Kristin)

He looks the sleeves of the library to find the creature that he need for his Creature Study class exam. None of them caught his attention, the others are in the meeting with grand mistress about something, thank goodness he needs time alone. Kristin looked through the books in the creature alley, dragons, abyssal, angels and wolves, nothing seems to get his attention. He is about to give up, until a strange voice echoes the room. Kristin stiffens up with the voice echoing either from his head or the actual library.

Come, come.

Destiny is calling for you.

Chosen one of water.

Come.

Save us.

Discover the dark truth of this rotten world. Destroy the evil tyrant, find us.

He turns around to no one right next to him. A blue light shines through the library, it's burning bright blue as Kristin walks forward hesitantly. The light gets closer to view, the forbidden library. He is shocked to see the forbidden library in full display. He can't enter in the library, one of the supernatural academy rules is that entering the forbidden library is punishment of expelled forever according to the Campbell court. If the light goes in the forbidden library, then he should follow it regardless if he breaks the law.

Kristin takes a deep breath and enters in the dim library. The library was so dim that the only light here is Kristin's flashlight and a few torches. He walks around the black library, entering here might have been a terrible idea, he was about to leave, but the voice boomed. The voices still echoes through the library, come help us. It keep doing that, while the flame stay still.

Who the hell wants my help, I'm just a normal teenager here in supernatural academy, he thought. He noticed the blue glow coming from the far shelves of the library, he wonders how big this library is. Walking through the library made it all the more eerie and exciting at the same time. For long as he remembered and learned from history class, it's been over ten thousand years ever since someone visited the forbidden library and read from the books of old and new. So much ancient knowledge that is locked away and wasted too, wow the library feels forgotten. He touch the walls, smooth marble feels ancient almost as old as the Roman Statues of the gods.

Kristin finally reaches the shelf with the book glowing a bright blue color. He grabs the book and feel the dust, man this book is old, ancient almost. Blowing the dust away to see the tittle The History and Knowledge of Dryads. Dryads, aren't those creatures are from myths and folktales who tells the beautiful maidens of the forest, he thought. His childhood friend, Aurora knows the tales of the dryads from her mother and her father. He carefully trace the vine design and opened the book.

Inside were hoards of information about dryads in this book flipping through the rest of the pages...blank. What? Flipping back to the first four pages with so much juicy and interesting content along with beautiful images of the dryads themselves. That's so strange, why are the pages blank and who wrote this book, he thought. Waiting for answers in a later time, he decided to explore the library a little bit more. Inside the library were thousands of no millions of books he could recall.

Woah, this library is more monstrous than he thought, the library is about the size of a small dragon, but this. This library is far more monumental than he ever imagined. A knock is heard through the door, he faltered to hear a knock, swiftly he sprit to the nearest shelf to hide. Thankfully, it was the bookkeeper he looks around the library eyes narrow and squinted. He sprinted to the next shelf, glancing a little. Thank goodness his wolf creature physically possessed night vision this will be a lot more easier for him.

Unluckily for him, the only way to exit to the front fucking...door. Only the bookkeeper has the keys for the forbidden library and well he needs to steal it. Carefully, he looks at the keys. There, it is dangling in the back pockets of his jeans. He can't risk his location, but he needs to leave the book here and forever, never to be open ever again.

With curiosity killing him, there is no way that he will waste on it or get himself caught. Ok, plan A will fail alright time for plan B, he thought. The bookkeeper squinted his eyes a little more to see in the dark before pulling a fucking flashlight. Well, damn plan B will fail, knocking out the bookkeeper and stealing the keys. He run towards the stairs, he could hear through the steps creaking by his footsteps, the noise was loud enough for the old man to hear. Fuck him for being stealthy, he bolts to see more shelves and more gargoyles into the sleeves. The old man sluggishly to move through the library. He is too old that he barely moves and hardly function.

Good, giving him a lot of time to move. The more time he has, the better he will learn more about the book. This mystery needs to be solve or elsewhere, no will know.

His shoulder accidentally touch one of the shelves and as if by external force it open by itself to somewhere like those labyrinth sliding entrance doors in fantasy movies, huh that works strangely enough. He enters in and hearing the door closed behind him. Kristin opening his flashlight again to walking through in the secret passage and disappeared into the darkness.
