Daffodil walked into a massive library. A large empty space lay ahead of her on entering with a large window opposite that bathed the smooth floor with sunlight.The floor began carpeted a little distance to her right and spread on underneath shelves and shelves of books. Only two students sat at a table underneath the large window and Daffodil couldn’t help the feeling of gentle warmth stir in her stomach.Such an expansive place and she would love to manage it for the time she was there.Daryl had said it was a ‘temporary’ job and the petite Half-Fairy hoped she would be able to keep her job for longer than just a few days.Her two friends stood just outside the library, helping a student find a classroom and Daffodil turned around to watch the door, waiting for them to return.She wished she could continue to work in the Library for as long as possible. It had such a serene ambience and was so bright and calm t

Professor Theodore led the way to the desk that backed against a wall, a small doorway leading into a room strewn with papers and books.He glanced around quickly to ensure the pretty lady was still following him.Walking forward, he wondered what he could have said or done that could have made her stiffen up as much as she had.The woman made a beautiful picture with her waist-length pink hair and wonder-filled eyes but she had suddenly shifted to not meeting his gaze with a slight frown pulling at her eyebrows.He stepped to the desk before turning to look at her, pocketing his hands and hoping the small distance he maintained would comfort her.“This will be your workstation,” He gave the young woman the warmest smile he could muster.She looked up at him, her expression seeming to have changed completely.There was a deep sorrow in her eyes and she looked up at him with concern knitting her eyebrows.

Abel walked down the long corridor, stepping quietly and quickly to get to the Library.He had to see the professor before his second class of the day.Lessons were getting interesting but Ethan’s constant whining, about being scared of going to his part-time job following the news of the seventeen Half-Myth murders, had almost given Abel a headache.He wondered if the Half-Myth hunters had gotten to committing anymore crimes since then.He sighed as he went down the stairs.There was very little data on the number or location of Half-Myths.Attributable to how little the Half-Myths were really focussed on in the Mythological Realm. It was almost an uneasy topic to pick up around groups and Abel knew why.The Elf clans harboured intense disdain for the Half-Breeds and most others respected or feared the Elves.Although the Mythological Realm claimed that all the races were equal, most everyone revered the

Daffodil laughed out loud before nodding, “I’ve seen Mermaidens do that!”Abel smiled as he watched her, supporting his chin with his right palm, “How often have you gone to these meetings? I would have liked to have been part of the meetings.”“Oh,” Daffodil paused to think, “Quite a few times, actually. I think Fairies and Merpeople meet up the most.”Abel nodded, a small smile still on his lips, “They do. When I think about it, I’ve spent the most time with my family in the company of Fairies.”Daffodil nodded enthusiastically, “Every Island we’ve visited so far has the most beautiful greenery I’ve ever seen!”Abel made a face, “Merpeople can’t really enjoy greenery. We focus on how the water feels near the land.”“Oh!” Daffodil nodded again, her pink head bobbing up and down, “Of course! Are

Theodore hurried to the Library.His first class had ended with him taking a little longer to clear out a few doubts.The professor was excited to see the petite girl at the library and he sighed.He hoped he wouldn’t catch feelings for someone.Close relationships always caused problems for Half-Myths.Turning a corner, he looked up to see two familiar heads hurrying ahead.It was the two students who’d introduced the new Librarian and they seemed to be on their way to see their friend.Theodore slowed his pace to let them get ahead further.He didn’t have any classes in the second hour of the day and decided the girls would get some time to themselves in between classes.The three seemed so close.The professor frowned when he sensed a very familiar scent in the air.A scent that raised the hair on his neck and made his ears quiver in dread; the scent he’d grown up

Theodore stepped closer to the Library, his expression perturbed.The scent had disappeared quickly but for a few minutes, it had been very strong; the scent of a healthy, pure-blood Gloom-Elf.The professor swallowed, fear slowly entering his chest.Damon was a Full-fledged Gloom Elf.There was no way he would be around the University in such broad daylight risking the Humans finding out about the Mythological World. Half-Myths could hide their traits a lot easier than Elves or Fairies could.Theodore dabbed at the sweat on his forehead.Ethan and Abel walked around the halls with no protection. The boys were not used to sudden bursts of violence or anything close to fighting or defending themselves.Professor Theodore sighed.He couldn’t risk their safety any longer after the scent he’d smelt.“Professor, are you okay?”Theodore looked up to see the stunning Dorothy Haggl

Theodore watched the beautiful woman walk up to him, her face glowing as she gave him a cheerful smile.It was a switch in personality from previously that morning and Theodore wondered how close the friends were to have made a change so quickly.The professor smiled when she finally reached him, “Hello, miss. May we begin? I have the next two hours off and I would like to assist in getting you acquainted with the work?”The girl nodded, her smile growing warm, “Thank you very much, Professor?”Theodore shook his head, finding his own smile grow genuine, “Don’t thank me. Shall we begin?”Daphne nodded, “Yes.”Turning around, Theodore walked to the large desk near the entrance of the library, “I will try my best to not confuse you.”“I’ll try my best.” Dorothy Hagglin stalked into her class and wave

Two fairies hurried when they stuffed vials into a soft, cloth bag.“You think he’ll reach her alright?”A plump fairy reached for a scroll and pushed it into the bag as well, “He will have to. We’ll send a Pigeo with him.”The other lady sighed before she flew up to the jar of liquids arranged on a high shelf, “I’m so afraid. I don’t want her to be hurt. My heart is beating so rapidly.”The first fairy bundled the two bags together before straightening, “We’ll have to trust that she’ll be alright until the Council stops Damon and the others.”“That bit of news today chilled me,” the fairy flew down with her hands filled with large jars, “I am so afraid for our little Daffodil.”“She will be okay, Emae.”Emae wrapped the jars in a large cloth before looking over at her Fairy friend, “W-will the

Drew ran through the corridors of the university, panting and out of breath.The news he’d just heard had chilled him to the bone.Cynthia Rayse had been a lovely Half-Myth living in the outskirts of the city.She’d been brutally murdered by, it was suspected, the Half-Myth Hunters and her entire home vandalized.Drew felt tears brim in his eyes; his legs shook as he ran to the Library of the university hoping to find Professor Theodore.  Daffodil bit her lip.Why was she so shy all of a sudden?Peeking from behind the shelves, she caught a glimpse of the calm man reading his book. His dark brown hair lay in thick tufts, pulled away from his forehead; he wore a casual jacket over a shirt and vest and his expression seemed serious, eyes focused on the book he was reading, eyebrows slightly furrowed.The Half-Fairy felt her heart flip.Had she ever ha

Ethan and Abel sat across the table from the Professor and their friend Drew.“She was a very young Half-Myth,” Drew was saying, his voice shaky from crying.“When was this?” Ethan wanted to know.“Yesterday,” Drew sniffed, “She was found dead by her parents when they returned home. A scroll signed by the Half-Myth Hunters was left at the house…”The men stiffened in rage.Drew shook his head, his eyes still teary, “The Centaur clan is definitely provoked now. They are very upset with the Council for failng to protect this girl.”Ethan glanced to the side to see Abel’s fists clenched. He couldn’t help feeling angry himself.Drew took a shaky breath, “The Centaurs have announced that any known-to-be Half-Myth Hunter will be killed on sight with no hesitation and will be regarded as dangerous outcasts looking for murder.”E
