History At The Library Novels & Stories

"I've always loved libraries. I just didn't have time to enjoy them." Mira laughed softly. "You have time now." "I do." He sat across from her, studying the books spread across the table. "What are you reading?" "History. The true history. Not the versions that were taught before the war." Kael nodded slowly. "How does it compare?" "It's different. More complicated. The old stories made everything sound simple. Good versus evil. Heroes versus villains." She paused. "But the truth is messier. People made choices. Good people made terrible mistakes. Bad people sometimes tried to change."

We haven't really had a real talk since then. " We could try and search in the art history library.” She suggests. " You know about it too?” I ask, not really surprised. The arts history library is one of the only few buildings on campus that students don't visit. Not that it's restricted, it's just too far to bother. But a typical nerd like Coral will definitely bother. “Of course I do. I haven't been there, but I sure have heard some tales about it." She looks around again and leans in. “I heard it holds the most ancient history of the wolfkind. It is also where keys to very important seals are kept."

His attention had shifted to another shelf. Hundreds of journals stood in perfect order. Each spine carried nothing except a year. 1348. 1349. 1350. 1351. 1352. 1353 Years that historians associated with plague, war, conquest, or catastrophe. He pulled one volume halfway from the shelf. "Why these years?" Elias didn't stop him.
