"What defines you?" she asked, her eyes holding a glint of mischief, "what makes you who you are?"
A group of classmates meet together for a group project, but are startled by a strange librarian. A question us asked; "What defines you?" Suddenly, the classmate's lives are turned around as what they believe to be the building blocks if who they are are reduced to ashes. How will they live without their defining traits, talents and abilities? And what really happened that day at the library? Only time will tell.

Some dared to cross that line, reaching for answers hidden in the shadows. And in doing so, they lost more than their lives . What they lost was their humanity. Every place has its whispers. Legends passed down in hushed voices from one person to the next. tales of hidden doors that are never meant to be opened, forbidden tools that are never meant to be used , and secrets too dangerous to uncover. Stories that stir curiosity, pulling you toward danger, even when every instinct tells you to turn away. Would you dare to chase it? Or would you run?

Humanity: The state of being born or categorized a human. What a...laughable term. What does it really mean to be human? Every person in the entire world; they all have their own ideals and opinions on such a matter. And no matter who you ask; the opinions always have many colorful and vibrant variants. He no longer cared for such flimsy opinions. No longer cared for how others would see him for his decisions. They called him hero; then they left him to rot and to die. He would not pander to their...tender sensibilities. Even if that made him inhuman.Complete
