It’s like my own personal heaven. I walk slowly between the rows, dragging my fingers along the spines of the books. Some are new. Some are so old their titles have faded off completely. I find books on werewolf history, on herbs and healing, on the different bloodlines of the kingdom. I even find one that looks like a cookbook, filled with strange ingredients I’ve never heard of. I lose track of time flipping through them, sinking into a worn leather chair near the center of the room. The quiet is peaceful. So different from the chaos outside these walls.

Hunger felt trivial compared to what I needed to learn. The library greeted me with that same sacred stillness, tall shelves, dim morning light, the smell of age and ink. I made my way to the far aisles, where the older tomes were kept. My fingers moved with purpose now, tracing spines like they were veins leading to a heart I needed to find. I wanted books that went beyond psychology and mysticism, ones that whispered about power, not philosophy. And I found them. Tattered books bound in scales instead of leather. Pages that looked like they had once been soaked in blood. Symbols I couldn’t read but instinctively feared.

It not like it’s normal see someone on fire was normal but he said nothing. I will think about that later not now. I do not go to my dorm. I go straight to the library. The forbidden section smells old and heavy, like dust and secrets layered on top of each other. I search shelf after shelf, pulling out books on elemental magic, ancient bloodlines, cursed abilities, fire wielders, forbidden hybrids. Nothing matches. Nothing talks about blue fire. Frustration claws at my chest until my fingers brush against a thick, worn book shoved far back on a lower shelf.

I reached out and delicately retrieved it from the shelf, cradling it in my hands. A surge of anticipation coursed through my veins as I opened the book, its pages pristine and unmarred. The words within held the promise of hidden truths, a key to unlock the enigma that had consumed my thoughts. I read the title embossed in elegant lettering: "Tears of the Moon: Secrets Untold." My heart raced with excitement as I turned to the first page. The words danced before my eyes, weaving a narrative of forbidden knowledge and clandestine affairs. It spoke of a world beyond the ordinary, a realm where ancient forces converged and hidden battles waged under the pale light of the moon.

My eyes scanned the shelves, fingers tracing the spines of books that held the potential to unveil the secrets I sought. I chose a dusty volume bound in weathered leather, its pages yellowed with time. As I flipped through the brittle leaves, I was met with symbols and glyphs that spoke of a history lost to the ravages of time. The anticipation of discovery fueled my determination, each word a potential clue leading me closer to the enigmatic Celestial one.

"I think perhaps my father was trying to hide them somewhere safe, and what better place than a secret room nobody else knows about?" "You've never seen him come in here?" I asked, finding that it highly unlikely that he planted all of these rare books here. But Alex shut that thought process down. "Never. Like I said, nobody ever wanders down this way." I shrug and scan the titles on the bookshelf. Books of all different sorts lined the shelves, and my eyes widened as I saw a recurring theme— magic and spells. Alex wasn't kidding. My curiosity piqued when my eyes snagged on something. I felt my breath catch in my throat as I slid the book off the shelf.

Xenra Filled with that determination, I made my way to the other side of the palace, my eyes scanning every nook and corner. My steps were filled with determination as I glided through the pathway that led to my secret chambers, a place known by a few of my personal guards. I had to retrieve some of my ancient books that made me tick, and some of the books that could provide a solution to my mess. I slipped into my secret library, and had just begun to tiptoe towards my bookshelves when I heard the voice of a guard behind me,

The air smelled like old paper and moth balls. “This is the restricted section,” she said, gesturing to the shelves. “Most of these books are centuries old, filled with knowledge that’s been forgotten—or maybe even deliberately hidden. If there’s any information about the spell blocking your wolf, it’ll be here.” We spent the next hour combing through the shelves, pulling down books with titles like Ancient Curses and Their Remedies and The Lost Art of Mating Rituals. More than once Gertrude fell into sneezing fits from the dust, her glasses falling off her face, and the faint scent of mildew was giving me a headache, but we didn’t stop searching.

The library was quiet, the afternoon sunlight filtering through the stained-glass windows. Anna sat alone at the far corner, the mysterious book, The Reflection Game, spread open before her. Her finger traced the intricate designs on the yellowed pages, her heart pounding with both excitement and unease. The cryptic instructions whispered to her, their meaning elusive but tantalizingly close. She didn’t understand why she felt so drawn to the book, but she couldn’t let it go. It was as if the book had chosen her, as if it were calling her to uncover its secrets.
