Solomon Stone: Beyond

Chapter 23

The first thing that caught the attention of Sarah and Solomon is the ceiling of the library. It is wide, colorful and infinite.

"Is it what I think it is?" Solomon asked.

"Yes, Solomon, you are looking at the outer space right now" Jerry answered.

"Wow! This is so amazing and beautiful" Solomon said, mesmerized to the ceiling of the library.

"Magical, beautiful, and peaceful" Sarah said, while she keeps on staring the infinite space and the majestic stars that glows everywhere.

"Exactly Sarah, peaceful... Lynch made that ceiling so that reading and learning inside this library will be unforgettable. It also contributes a lot in the learning process, as it helps anyone that will study here learn fast" Jerry said.

Another thing that Sarah and Solomon noticed, are the books that are flying everywhere, sorting their selves up, like it has its own brain. Fairies can also be seen, dashing and flying back and forth making it sure that everything is in place.

"Are those fairies?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, they are. Lynch protected them from the ethereal beast that menaces them, and adopted them like they are his own kids, and now, they are here at the library of wonders, protecting and taking care of everything" Jerry answered.

"I thought they are just myths" Sarah asked again.

"In the human world they are myths, but it the mystic world, they are not" Jerry replied.

"And the books, they are flying" Solomon said.

"Yes, those books are magical, your father imbued some magic to those books so that it will sort by its own, every time they are placed on the wrong bookshelf" Jerry answered.

The three of them move a little further inside the library. Sarah approached one of the bookshelves and touched it with her fingers. Much to her surprise, the bookshelf moved and breathes.

"Jerry, the bookshelf just moved, and I think it also breathes" Sarah said.

"Yes it really does move, because that's an enchanted bookshelf" Jerry answered.

Everything in the library of wonders is enchanted and magical. The 300 bookshelves are made of elder woods that can only be found in the mystic world. The elder woods are believed to be infinite; it doesn't wear out, and it is termite resistant.

Solomon walked towards a random bookshelf and took a book from it. He tried to open the book but suddenly, a fairy attacked him for no reason. Solomon quickly shouted Jerry's name, because he have no idea why the fairy is attacking him.

"Jerry!" Solomon shouted.

Jerry turned his attention to Solomon's current position, and saw the fairy casting a killing spell. The fairy is charging itself up with a huge amount of plasma energy, to shoot it on Solomon.

"Put the book back quick!" Jerry shouted back with urgency.

Solomon quickly moved towards the bookshelf and put the book back in. Luckily, the fairy stopped on casting the killing spell and left Solomon alone.

"What the hell are you trying to do? Do you want to die here?" Jerry asked.

"I'm going to study, I'm here to read books right?" Solomon replied.

"You cannot just read books, you need to train physically first, before you read books. That is the first step on training the mystic arts. Those fairies know that you are not ready, that is why it attacked you. You're lucky you're still alive, I saw that fairy, trying to cast a killing spell against you" Jerry answered.

"Why haven't you told me those things before?" Solomon asked.

"Because you asked a lot of childish questions, I forgot to tell you what I needed to tell you first" Jerry replied.

"So, it's our fault now?" Solomon replied, sarcastic.

"Hey, cut it out! We are here to prepare for whatever is going to happen, so stop fighting and start working" Sarah butts in and cut the fight between the two.

Both suddenly stopped talking, and realized that it is not a good time to be childish.

Jerry walked towards a path to the left of the library, and asked Sarah and Solomon to follow him "Come follow me quick".

Jerry stopped walking as well as Sarah and Solomon. Upon stopping, they saw two closed doors in front of them that will seem to lead them into other rooms. Jerry opened the door to their right, and told them that it will be their room.

"This will be your bedroom while we are here. Both of you must share the room, because we do not have enough bedrooms here. I will take the room to the left, and if you need me, just knock on my door. Training will start tomorrow, for now, take a rest." Jerry said.

Sarah and Solomon entered inside the bedroom, and then Jerry left them.

All of the things that they need are inside the bedroom. Queen sized bed, mini refrigerator, kitchen appliances, an old music box, elegant small dining set and a huge cabinet.

"Wow this room is huge and beautiful. In fact, it's better than my apartment" Sarah said, while walking towards the cabinet to put their things inside of it.

Solomon walked towards the window, and became curious why there is a panel with buttons at the side of it. Another thing is that, there is nothing to view outside. All he see are black like walls covering the all the windows.

Upon getting closer, he saw some words written on each of the rectangular buttons installed in the panel. The red one have the word mountain written on it, the blue one have the word forest and the green one have the word woods.

Being very curious, Solomon pressed the green button on the panel. Surprisingly, the window's view suddenly changed like they are in the woods. He quickly opened one of the windows to check if it's not just a visual hologram. Much to his surprise, it's all real.

He immediately called Sarah's attention, and showed her what the panel and the windows can do. "Sarah, come and take a look at this!" he said, excited to show Sarah, what he just discovered.

"Wow! That's awesome!" Sarah said, astonished of what the window can do.

Both are very amazed like kids playing a computer game, until suddenly, they felt very tired and sleepy.

Both decided to stop playing with the panel, and put it on the forest mode, so that they can both rest well. The sound of the forest is very relaxing, and the fresh air is very refreshing.

Sarah and Solomon move towards the bed and sits down for a moment, and then suddenly, they fall asleep.

The bedroom has other little secrets. Anyone that will sleep or rest inside will gain massive amount of energy that will help them perform better to anything. The room can also magically heal any wounded creature, be it magical or non-magical.
