You tell Kalidria that you would like to go to the
library with her. She bounces out of the chair and walks through the door in the
back of the room. You walk around the desk to follow her. She goes through another
door and says to you,"There is another way to the library, but this way is faster."
"Oh." Is all you say. "What exactly is in the library?"
Kalidria stops at another door to answer your question,"Histories and Records
mostly. The history of the Realm hasn't been translated yet, but you can look at
the various parents lists and the book that has a list of all the different fostering
programs the Realm has."
"List of Adoption programs?", you ask with interest.
Kalidria nods,"Yeah. You can bring some of the creatures that live here into
your own realm, if you have one. Are you done asking questions now?" You nod.
She smiles then opens the door into the library and steps in. You follow behind.
You stand in the doorway, mouth open in wonder. The library is simply massive! The
books alone take up the first two stories. The third is a high the cathedrail ceiling
that extends far above your head. Row upon row of shelves that are ten feet high
fill the room. Ladders cling to the walls giving access to the books on the top shelves.
The tangle of shelves reminds you of a maze. Kalidria brings you over to one small
shelf that is sitting in a corner and points to one of the middle rows.
"These are the only books that have been translated. All of the others are written
in other languages. Feel free to look around. I'll be right back." You nod and
take a look at the shelf.
The first book on the shelf is a dark green. It
has the words Parents List written on the spine. The second book is a wierd shade of
navy purple and has the words Asrire History written on it.
The third book is red and has the words List of Realm Adoptions on it.
Tale of the StarFlares is printed on the spine of the last, sage green, book. You
can't read the spines of the other books on the shelf. Privately you think it's a
rather pitiful collection for a library. You look around, Kalidria isn't back yet
and you don't really want to go looking for her. You'll probably get lost. You pick
a book of the shelf and look at while you wait for Kalidria to get back.
Kalidria wanders back over to you soon after you finish looking around. "Are
you done, Wanderer? Shall
we head back to the banquet hall?"
