- I told him. He nodded and pulled several books out from one of the stacks and set them in front of me. I opened the top book and ran my fingers over the runes in the title. It was beautifully written as if each word was drawn with love and attention to detail. Now that I looked at it, it reminded me of a combination of Norse and Old English. Nerrian pulled his chair closer and pointed to the first word, speaking it in my mind than out loud in Draygonian. With his help, I repeated the word over and over again until I perfected it.

Viktor suspected that the rarity of some of the books there might rival that of the volumes in the library of the School of Magic itself or even the library that was housed in the Imperial Academy of Magic in the capital. Viktor was in a state of ecstasy. I imagined all the wisdom that would be available there for someone who wanted to increase their knowledge about the human body and all its diseases, and improve the chances of curing that same collection of organs, perhaps it would even be possible to find grimoires with unique and special spells impossible to find. in other parts of the world. He walked over to the books to read the titles. Some, such as Herbs of the Assembly Territory an

“I’m looking for books on magic or an actual wielder. A situation that needs looking into has occurred, and I have nothing to go on since Osprey destroyed most of the tomes and scrolls containing information about magic. Books or another wielder might answer those questions for me. Would the rebellion have been able to safeguard some?” “We did manage to gather quite a library of books such as what you are describing, Princess,” said John. “My brother used to work in the Arcane Library in Cardinal City. He took as much as he and some other men could carry and hid them before they sacked the library in the uprising.” Diana squirmed in her chair at that mention.

Arthur notices what I did, and he grabs the book under my pillow. "Why are you hiding this?" He asks me, and I notice that he catches Lucas's attention. Lucas looks at us and checks the book Arthur's holding. "What's that?" He asks him. "How to avoid writer's block? by Ezckapel." He read the title. I explain to them that I wanted that book. I explain to them that I've been suffering from Writer's Block since I got into an accident. Arthur got shocked by what he heard.

Garrett The clearing is exactly as I remembered from my scouting trip yesterday. Secluded, peaceful, with a small stream running along one edge. I've set up blankets, cushions, and most importantly—a stack of books. Iris stops when she sees it, hand flying to her mouth. "You did all this?" Her voice is soft with wonder. "I wanted it to be special." I guide her to the blankets. "And I found something I thought you'd like." I hand her the top book. It's old, leather-bound, with gilt lettering. "Advanced Theories in Shield Construction and Consciousness-Based Magical Architecture."

Aria’s POV We woke up in the Crimson park that morning, and rain fell, not real blood, of course—but the sky turned a deep red, and the light it cast made everything look stained. It felt like an omen. One of many I’d been ignoring. I was alone in the Moon Library, seated in front of a book I hadn’t dared open until now: The Royal Lineage of the Lunar Thrones. The cover was soft with age. The spine cracked like it hadn’t been touched in generations. A single silver moon was carved into the center.

The following night I returned to the Arcane Archives wearing a simple button-front dress that fell just below my knees — easier to remove, just as Elias had instructed. My body still hummed from the previous evening’s surrender, the faint marks from the silk bookmarks hidden beneath my sleeves like secret ink. Elias waited for me at the large oak reading table, the floating candle orbs casting a warm golden glow over the black shelves. He held a thick, leather-bound volume with ornate silver clasps. The title, embossed in deep crimson, read *The Bondage Codex: A Victorian Manual of Restraint and Ecstasy*.

Her mother paused, her gaze falling to the book. “What's that you're reading?” She asked casually, acting as though she didn't see Aria trying to hide it. “It's nothing… just some book I found in the school's library.” Aria lied. Her mother could see through her awkward smiles that she was lying so she asked again. “Why are you hiding it behind you if it's just some book?” The question hung in the air as Aria looked from the book to her mother and back to the book. “Reflex action I guess? I had to sneak it in my bag and bring it home. Students are going crazy mad about it right now because it's about the first wolves the moon goddess sent to the realm.” Another lie…
