The Soulscape again.

Now that she knew about the powered wing, the blonde girl started walking towards the other wing. The Library.

As she walked into the library she was immediately struck by how big it was, it had decorations that spoke of ancient grandeur. Walls lined with bookshelves that wanted to strike the heavens made of dark wood.

Shelves were filled with dusty tomes and ancient scrolls and between the bookshelves, torches were used as a medium of illumination.

Among the walls were desks of aged wood with old globes and a few maps made of leather skin on the walls.

But as she went further into the library something started to change. Soon the torches were less and less common and they made way for lightbulbs. The ancient scrolls and dusty tomes were no longer seen and soon enough more modern books were on the shelves. In the desks, there were no longer old globes but computers.

There were some booths with electronic readers and some other devices of a more normal library.

It was an interesting change if nothing else, but soon those started to change too, the wooden shelves turned into metal and crystal. Giving a more technological look. Instead of books now there was a screen with a touch screen and a QR code to scan for information.

There were even terminals here and there to connect headsets and dive into Virtual reality.

And a few robots came and went from here to there, the blonde girl wondered why those were designed after ants and spiders, but it was probably a quirk of the librarian of this place.

Unless this was more shenanigans about her soul not forgetting her past or something.

Either way, by the time she made it to the deepest parts of the library there weren't any shelves anymore. Only floating screens and a blonde little girl dressed in a white dress.

"Took you long enough Eli-Eli!" exclaimed the little girl after throwing a floating screen to a robotic ant that quickly came for it and went away with it.

"Are you the [Librarian]?" was the more important question the blonde girl could ask right now.

She had plenty of complaints about her skills and her problems with the allocation of information she currently had.

But the little girl just made a face as if someone had insulted her whole genealogical tree.

"Me? The [Librarian]?" And somehow she could feel as if the weight of the world was coming down on her.

It was several times heavier than the thing the teacher had done before.

"Never, ever, mistake me for that...[Thing]." Said with finality the little girl.

At this point, the blonde was stuck on the floor and was fighting to stay conscious.

"huh?...Did...I use too much force? "She was starting to lose conscience.

"Awawawawa gotta call brother...She can't lose concience...Will she be ejected?" At least the little girl was panicking, so the blonde girl could go to dreamland with a smirk on her face.

...Why couldn't her soulscape be normal?

She woke up feeling rested in a comfy bed, it was a good mattress and the light of the morning hit just right from the window.

There were a few problems if nothing else, in the first place this wasn't her room. The decoration was too...Childish.

The bed was too small for her too since her feet were dangling in the air right now.
