He's a werewolf. If he is, then maybe there are others. Other creatures who are living among humans as well. It wouldn't be too hard to believe. It would be easy to, too easy that it would throw the world into a frenzy to discover who was human and who was not among them. I open the book and the smell of woods and pine threatens to drown me in it's fragrance. The whole book smells like this, and oddly there's a part where it mentions a race that's eerily similar to the one i dream about.

"Hm, you know what? Fuck it, I can have favorites, too. So, yeah, it's a tie between the one on my back, and Scylla and Charybdis." "Who and who?" "These sea monsters..." She used her left hand to trace the full-sleeve piece on her right arm. "Scylla and Charybdis from Homer's 'Odyssey.'" "Feel free to judge me for what I'm about to say, but the Homer I'm most familiar with is the yellow cartoon character from Springfield." Laughing, she called me 'cute'—but 'ignorant' would've been more apt in my opinion. "No worries. Like I love reading, but an Ancient Greek epic poem isn't my cup of tea. Only reason I picked it up was because..."

She can only differentiate them through their sizes and colors so she has to diligently flip through each book’s first few pages to find out what the content of the story were even about. Proserpina goes through each book on the shelf slowly and mechanically, flips through the pages to try and find… at least something that will catch her interest–there was a story about the origin of soul mates, the concept of rebirth, the rise and fall of Elder Gods, Trojan War–only to no avail. It seems that most of the books Athena has been more on about history, serious matters than what is to be considered anything appropriate for a light reading.

Too happy to oblige, and I swiftly return to the Duke's office, standing in front of the bookshelf, trying to decide what book would show-off my 21st Century education. 18 My eyes fall on Homer's "The Odyssey." Perfect! I snatch the leather-bound book and return to the bedroom. Once inside, Bryce is sitting on a wooden seat with an empty stool beside him. He is sitting close to one of the burning candles on a floor stand. "What book had you chosen?" "'The Odyssey,' my lord," I tell him, trying to keep my voice neutral and bored. I do not want to give away my eagerness to prove my higher education. "Very well. Sit, and you may begin," Bryce states while studying me curiously. I can

He asked, moving away from the counter and approaching me. “Well, I’m not sure, something really interesting?” I answered as we both walked to the shelves. “You’d prefer romance then?” He further raised. “No, definitely not romance. Something more exciting…” “I thought all ladies love a good romance story.” He added, and I shook my head. “Definitely not me.” “The Odyssey by Homer.” I heard another voice behind us. It happened to be a handsome young man. I had no idea we had company. “Adventure,” I responded, and he nodded.

he asked, his voice quieter this time, as if afraid to disturb the peace of the shop. I glanced at him, “I love them,” I said, running my fingers along the spines of the books. “They’re like an escape—a way to step into another world, even if it’s just for a little while.” He nodded, his gaze lingering on me for a moment too long. “I get that,” he said, his voice barely audible. I stopped in front of a section labeled Legends and Lore. The titles immediately caught my eye: The Myths of Moonsdale, The Wolves of the Moonlight, The Moon’s Chosen.

She reread them, her mind buzzing with connections and insights, the intricate tapestry of Odysseus's journey weaving itself into her own life. The parallels between Odysseus's trials and her own struggles became clearer. His unwavering determination to return home, to face the challenges that stood in his way, resonated deeply with her own desire to overcome the obstacles in her life. She realized that she, too, was on a journey, a journey of self-discovery and growth, a journey that required courage, resilience, and a unwavering belief in herself. As she delved deeper into her notes, she felt a sense of purpose, a renewed sense of direction. The library, with its silent wisdom and endless

A mirage distorts the view beyond the window shields, and it’s impossible to tell where the asphalt ends and the ocean begins. I don't come into this room enough, but something had led me here tonight and I was compelled to remain here and watch the mountains from here, what the night held. My parents were returning from their trip by ship. They had left with some of their guards to meet with the Japanese merchants and pirates who had settled along one of the seven seas enclosing Eldrador kingdom.

Without looking to Owen for confirmation, I say, “We do. Please, explain.” She opens her bag and removes a few tattered paperbacks. The spines are unreadable, they’ve been cracked in so many places. One is missing a cover. All of them have a forest of neon tabs jutting out from their sides. I hear Hannah’s audible gasp of delight and admiration. I’m surprised she doesn’t ask for the brand, style, and inventory number of the tabs. “Our pack is so obsessed with the story of our origins, that we ignore the story of our ending.” She opens one of the books and it lays flat, pages perilously close to falling out. There’s a woodcut illustration of Fenrir devouring Odin.
