Secret Room
. . .
"This is literally the longest period of time I'm inside the library, awake. If I'm in a library, I'd rather sleep for hours than research anything." Fur whined as I saw him slump his body to the ground and leaned at a bookshelf. Night, who is beside him, laughed at him and lightly hit his head with a book.
After our talk inside Isos' room yesterday, we had a plan to research the library for the whole day. We don't believe that there's completely nothing around here that is connected to Prima Potentia. It's impossible that no one wrote about such an intriguing topic such as this, and I know, I feel that something in here is written about this, we just have to find it.
We actually left at dawn and sneaked in but to our surprise, Hide and Night were also waiting for us at the living room. Then Heart, Fide and Fur followed after us since they also knew about our plan.
Hide heard us talking inside Isos' room despite the barrier I projected to cover our conversation. She only heard us talking about researching at an early hour, and that it's urgent so she waited for us at dawn. Night went downstairs at dawn to drink water and she found her there so she asked why. Hide told her our plan so she woke the others up and they made up their mind to go with us.
So now, it's still dark outside and I'm not sure if the headmasters are already awake, but we're searching through the library with the others. Well, Fur didn't want to go but Night and Fide forced him too so he's here with us. But he's just complaining ever since we got here.
"Stop complaining and stand up, Fur. We'll finish faster if you help us." Night said and Fur just whined like a child. Death groaned in annoyance at his cousin that he almost attacked him but I stopped him before he can even do that.
Even I am a bit annoyed at Fur. He could've refused to come here but he didn't and now he's whining here.
I flicked his forehead. "You can make this job a lot easier, though."
He pouted. "How?"
I chuckled and pointed at the isles across the room.
"There are a lot of books regarding astral projection and primordial deities on that isle. Bring every book you can to the table with Isos and I'll let you sleep for a few minutes."
He stood up immediately with a smile and in a blink, he already ran fast to the shelves across the room, making Night laugh at him again. I knew he need that kind of negotiation before we can convince him to help. Plus, he really need to stop whining or else Hide would definitely fight him in an instant if he annoyed her more.
"You handled him easily." Death said while chuckling and getting every relevant book he can see in the shelf.
We've divided ourselves into two group. One group would gather every needed book for the research and another group would be at the table, reading the books we would give them. The first group includes me, Night, Death and Fur. We also have the Isos' crystalline at our side so we would know when it found something. Death should be at the reading group but we just put Hide there so Hide and Fur wouldn't interact much. It would be troublesome for us since them in one group, also means bickering.
Night also said I should be in their group since I read a lot of books, but I have an idea what are the topics for the books are so it would be much better if I'm in this group since we'll be in charge of searching books.
For the books, instead of searching directly about Prima Potentia, we'll be reading books that are related to Primordial deities, Primordial magic and the astral plane. I still haven't told them about the mark coming from astral plane, but I have to make sure it's relevant first.
