SELENE EIN 👁 🌙

BOOK OF AURA

"you...can you....are you able to see that book?"zem enquired in surprise.

"of course, as far as I know, my eyesight is still perfectly intact," Ein replied in her mischievous tone.

"Who are you really, Ein.what is your real form?"

"What? oh, u mean school forms? I just completed my high school and I am currently a freshman at college pursuing medicine"

"No Ein I am talking about your inner true form" Zem raised her voice in urgency.

"What?" Ein stared at Zem confused.
A look of realization mixed with sympathy crossed Zem's face.

"nevermind, leave it"

"is there a problem Zem?"Ein had her interest perked up now, and was curious about what Zem was going on about.

"nothing to be bothered about" Zem replied in her cool tone, which made it clear that was the end of that topic. "yes, you can borrow the book, not sure if you can catch up as it is in ancient greek"

"with today's technology, I think I will be able to catch up. it's already late, I should run, bye Zem, see you later"

"Bye, Ein take care"

Ting-ting, the clock struck twelve, making Zem snap out from her reverie. In her daze, she had started dusting their cat, polo instead of the books. but polo did not mind as it felt like belly rub to him. Stacking the books into a corner, closing off all the lights, she moved towards the back of the bookstore, now the restroom had vanished and the office had come back. moving towards the stone wall at the far left, she pressed the ninth stone from her right. the whole ground started to drop down with a zoom sound. after a few seconds, the ground was still again.

Zem started walking through the dark corridor, she entered a vestibule with torch lights lining up the walls, tunnels branched out in every direction.which would make a normal person confused. Turning to the tunnel in her right she started to walk in absolute familiarity, after walking for five minutes, the tunnel opened into a large two-door entrance. Zem flicked her hands.which produced blue flashes.

"who is.." the butler started asking"oh young mistress, please do come in"

"thank you jeff" Zem replied politely.

Jeff is one of their oldest butlers. Bend forward as the weight of his wings is too much for his old back and two horns bulging out from the crown of his head.

"everyone's having their dinner ma'am, shall I set a plate for you too?"

"sure Jeff"

They moved towards the dining hall, the vast door almost similar to the one at the entrance opened into the dining hall, at a single glance it looks as if it opened automatically, but on closer look, there are two little winged creatures guarding the door.

Inside Zem was greeted with the pleasant faces of her mom and dad, and Aze short for Azarios who is her cousin, two years older than her seated in a large glass table with food spread in the center.

She kissed her mom and dad, flicked Aze's head, and sat down at her seat.

"hey little demon sister" Aze greeted here with a mischievous glint in his eye

"stop calling me little, you mud worm" Zem replied, which made Aze chuckle. calling her little was far more offensive for her than being called a demon.

"sure, will call you tiny next time" Aze taunted her and continued with his circus balancing food, book, and phone at the same time.

"At least leave alone the book, when you are eating, Aze" mom lovingly reprimanded him.
"Just two more pages mom" after Aze's parents had passed away in a tragic accident when he was young, Zem's mom who was Aze's real father's sister brought him up. Zem and her parents were his world and vice versa.

As the family runs on good genes both Zem and Aze were extremely good looking.from birth to date Aze had fans everywhere. More than any celebrity maybe. his twinkling blue eyes, sharp square chin, smooth black hair that falls on his forehead, lips lined into a coquettish smile were the exact fetish of a girl.it was like he was a direct descendant of greek gods. moreover, he was talented in whatever he tried.what is the use of having all these good looks when he never had a relationship and plus he never even glimpse at any girls,neck-deep sunk always in books 'The typical handsome nerdy guy'.

"Mom, guess what happened today " chirped Zem.

"did some humans enter the library again?" her mom asked calmly.

"no mom, far more interesting than that" Zem explained everything that happened with Ein .

"can you believe that she can really see the book of aura"Zem ended her long explanation in her overexcited voice.

Her mom and dad were wide-eyed, even Aze had his head up listening.

"she can see the book of aura?" her mom rechecked what she heard was correct or not.

"yes, mom she can"

"and she does not have any idea of her inner form and the book of aura?" her dad asked with piqued curiosity.

"completely oblivious" Zem replied

"It is impossible" her dad joined "there is only a few of us left after the massacre twenty years back"

"and only the highest-ranked can see that book, and there are only less than ten of us left, should we inform the synod?" her mom spurted out worried

"no, we will just wait, till the situation becomes clear," her dad said in a voice of authority. Which marked the end of the conversation.
Zem and Aze were looking at one then the other like watching a game of shuttle.

The rest of the feast continued peacefully. after the food, everyone went their own ways. Aze and Zem were the only ones left. they started their own discussion about the topic.

"I think she is not a descendent of our grandparents" Zem implied

"maybe, we can't be sure"

"no Aze, in case she is I would have got the Zwilling aura" Zem replied thoughtfully

"if she is of a higher rank, you won't be able to spot it" Aze replied in a matter of fact tone

"but Aze there is no one left of them"

"of we know about" aze added

"you mean there is still some ?"Zem's eyes
widened in realization.

"what if the tale of the missing daughter of Selene cwen was true?" They shouted in unison.
