I clench my fist and stare at the table. "But we'll talk later, I have some things to take care of. Read through as much of these books as you can." She says as she gets off the table. As I open a black and white book I see symbols that I don't understand. Azura chuckles then vanishes. I skim through the entire book. Every last page in the entire book has symbols that I don't understand. I check the other books as well. They're the same way, full of symbols I don't understand. I stare at the books hoping to get an idea of how to translate. Nothing comes to me. I have no clue of any way to translate these books. For what feels like hours I stare at the books. I sigh and lay my head down. I slowly doze off. As I blink, once again I'm floating in darkness. "A dream. The same dream." I mumble as I see that huge demonic creature once again kill all my friends as I watch helplessly. I feel scared for some reason. The creature rips all my friends apart then walks over to me. It's massive compared to me. A layer of ice covers my body as it swings at me. The ice shatters and I wake up. I shake my head and rub my eyes. As I open my eyes I notice once of the books is glowing with red energy. The symbols are moving around. As I touch the symbol I instantly understand all year information contained within it. Demons came before angels. Creators and guardians at first, but later destroyers and beings of death. Angels came into reality as soon as demons turned against reality. Angels and demons hated each other for the longest time. The unintelligible angels and demons fighting for truly no purpose. I can feel disappointment from whoever wrote this book. Disappointment in what became of angels and demons. I blink a few times before I realize what happened. Energy channeling into the symbols acts as a gateway. In exchange for more energy, I'll get more knowledge. I quickly fly through the books figuring out everything they have to teach. I learn the demons association with ancient cultures. Blessing and cursing specific mortals. One name appears several times from thousands of years ago. Sorin. No true last name. A legendary sword wielder from the time of the first samurai. With the aid of a Angel of Hope, named Galash, Sorin took over most of nearly 10 countries. No angels or demons felt they should stop him. That humans would take care of their own problems. But suddenly he died. "The Blood Queen." I mumble as I see it in my mind. Someone shrouded a veil of blood single handedly destroyed Sorin's entire empire. She did it in less than a day. I quickly move through all the books. Several names are mentioned repeatedly. The names most mentioned in the 4 books I was given are; Sorin, Azoria, Valadesh, and Avalox. Beings that were once human. Sorin became something far stronger than a human for his time period. Azoria was a human blessed to become the Princess of Light. Valadesh was a man that was given control of nature. Avalox, the half human and half angel with control over other people's minds. All from different time periods but all sharing the energy of Telas. Telas was trying to disturb Silvia's reality. Trying to gain control and write his own name into everyone's minds. Telas wanted power. But where did he come from? The books don't explain how he came to be. It doesn't tell about his parents. Nothing. Just his name exists here. No information. I close the final book and look up. I see Azura smiling. "So, learn anything useful?" She says as I nod. She stands up and walks around the room touching random books. "This place is only accessible by 2 people. I am the second person to be here." She says as she looks to me. "This is the recollection of all memories Silvia has had. Everything she's seen is here. Each book covers hundreds of years, as you've seen. This is one room of millions. You could never know all she knew." Azura says as I look around the room at the thousands and thousands of books. I'm speechless. Azura appears next to me and smiles lightly. "The world will come to rely on you someday. A challenge only you will be able to face. Something that no one else will be able to fight. But before that fight happens, you need to win that fight." She says as I stare at her. "I don't understand? What do you mean I have to win the fight before it occurs?" I ask as she smiles. "I can't answer that one. That's something that you have to find the answer for." She says as I shake my head. "Bit how can I answer a problem that hasn't even happened yet? How do I win a fight that hasn't occurred?!" I yell as she smiles. "One day you'll figure it out. Just don't rush it. It'll come to you." She says as I stare at her. "Here's a hint. Learn from the past. This problem has been solved before. But the threat wasn't this severe before. But we have time. Don't worry, I'll train you to be prepared for whatever happens." Azura says as I nod. My body feels heavy from how much energy I've used in a short time. She smiles and snaps her fingers. The library turns into a bedroom with a large white bed with a black and red frame. "This will be your room for the time you're training under me. After practice, you will either meditate or sleep. It's your choice." She says as she smiles cutely. I nod. "Thank you." I say as she teleports away. I lay down and cover myself. I will get stronger, and I will protect all my friends.
