But the wine and his genuine interest and months of suffocating in Lucien's world make me reckless. "I used to love libraries. The really old ones with the tall shelves and the smell of aging paper. I'd spend entire Saturdays just reading in the corner, losing myself in other people's stories." "Past tense?"

Whether Lucy is much like me. Choosing to ignore Grace and her brags, I escaped to the only place Gracelyn wouldn't step in her entire lifespan i.e The Library. She hates library so much that once she quoted. "I feel the shelves loaded with books are closing onto me and suffocating me to death" Her words not mine. I loved the way how these books smelled. I was engrossed in my book when...

“Beware the librarians who gave sight for sound. Tread quiet and swift, or you’ll never be found. What you seek and what you need are two very different things. Let the Library take control, and see what it brings. Knowledge is value, which must be protected at all cost. To pass through these doors, is to risk becoming lost.” ‘Another poem.’ Rayna groaned in my head, ‘I’ll take another poem as long as we can shift down here. I hate not being able to come forward.’ “Well—that was beautiful, and terrifying.” Helena sputtered, somehow managing a shaky smile. “So, these librarians, are they monsters?” I must’ve been getting better since my last confusing riddle, because these librarians sounded

“It hints at ancient powers and destinies, but it’s not straightforward. I’ll need to consult some of my own resources to see if there are additional texts or interpretations that might shed more light.” “Thank you,” Quinton said. “We appreciate any help you can provide.” The librarian retreated to her collection of rare books, and we waited anxiously. The minutes ticked by slowly, each one adding to our growing sense of anticipation. The library’s atmosphere was thick with the scent of old paper and ink, and I found myself lost in thought, trying to piece together what we had learned so far. “Do you think we’re any closer to understanding the prophecy?” I asked, my voice barely above a whis
