ONE FAILED SALVATION

The Library of Alexandria

"Hello, and welcome to the Library of Alexandria" Raziel said "In case you don't know, I am Raziel, former Angel of Knowledge and Librarian of this Library. A dear friend from the time of the War of the Worlds has asked me to give you the opportunity to read parts of some of the books I look after, and I couldn't refuse- quite literally if you ask me" Raziel said before looking around uncomfortable "Are you sure someone's actually seeing this? It feels kind of weird to talk directly to someone who's not here"

"I can assure you, they're seeing- actually, they're reading- this at some point in time" I reply "But if it makes you feel more comfortable, I can pretend to record you" I finish as I produce a camera from my pocket.

"Reading? What- ah whatever, do what you want" Raziel sighs before looking at the camera "As I was saying, you'll have the opportunity to read some of the books I look after. Not only that, all of these books come from the Restricted Section, the most secret and important one."

Raziel walked down various hallways made of wooden shelves filled with books before arriving in front of a locked door. He put his palm on the lock and the door opened, revealing a circular room with three other doors and an altar with a book on it in the center. Rows upon rows of books lined the walls, just like any other in the Library, but it could be told that these books were different by merely looking at them. A chandelier emanated a bright light which seemed to bring the room to life.

"The book on the altar is the De Orbium Bello" Raziel explained "And it's the only book in this section which can be read by the public. In fact, it is the sacred book of the religion founded by Lord Knowledge. The title is Latin, and it means 'About the War of the Worlds', which is the main topic of the book, along with the entire history of the universe we live in."

"Quick note, Latin is complicated. If you want to say something like 'War of the Worlds' you actually have to put the words in a different order to write correctly, and it also gets more complicated because the last couple letters of a word change depending on various things and blah blah blah, so we're going to offer a translation of all the various Latin sentences, as all the book titles are going to be in Latin because it's cool- and let me tell you, we have quite a few books here" I said before Raziel continued "In this sections, the books are divided by topic. For example, on this wall here we have various books about the enemies we have fought in the war. Here's a list of the titles:

De Nigro et Aureo Regibus, About the Black and Golden Kings

De Animarum Domino, About the Lord of the Souls

De Imperatrice, About the Empress

De Coelorum Proditore, About the Traitor of the Heavens"

"The next section is dedicated to Lord Knowledge's many allies. Here's a list of the titles:

De Silente Manu, About the Silent Hand

De Coccinea Maga, About the Scarlet Witch

De Archiepiscopis et Episcopis, About the Archbishops and Bishops

De Finis Regina, About the Queen of the End*

De Infernorum Regina, About the Queen of the Nether*

De Finis Demone, About the Ender Demon*

De Draconum Domino, About the Lord of the Dragons

De Coccineo, Nigro et Albo Equitibus, About the Crimson, Black and White Knights

De Neptuni Filio, About the Son of Poseidon"

A/N: Of course the Latin language isn't modern enough to contain the words "Ender" or "Nether", so I used some other words to recreate a similar effect. If a title is marked by this symbol *, then its meaning is not 100% accurate to what the words actually mean in Latin.
