The 5th Island: Part 2

Prologue
Grayson ushered us out of the palace. We walked into a building made of cobblestone and wood. Inside the building, there were rows of wood shelves, and books lined the shelves. The inside was lit by glass windows. We were led to the back of the library.
"Like you guys, I don't have much memory of family or the time before," Grayson explained.
Grayson turned, pulled the wall panel, and grabbed a brown leather-bound book. He turned to the group.
"I do have this," Grayson claimed.
He took a deep breath.
"Once Leyton took over, he destroyed all the traces of the past except for this."
Grayson handed the book over to me.
"The History of the five islands"
It was carved into the middle of the leather cover. I handed it over to Sasha, and she began to examine it. Looking up at Grayson, I had one question on my hand.
"How did I know you're actually my brother?" I questioned.
Grayson looked uncomfortable by the question. We had no idea where our parents were. We looked similar, but many people did. Wings sprouted from his back, and I have the same white wings.
"Holy Shit!" I exclaimed.
I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him.
