Where The Library Hides: A Novel Novels & Stories

Before anyone else heads to ask me for anything I shut my room door walking away. “But Luna there’s nothing on the menu” The maid yells out to me. “Well, there should be, pick your favorite dishes if there aren’t” I respond loudly, hastening my pace before someone else calls out to me. There has to be a place I can hide and disappear for a while. The bronze double doors of the library look inviting. There are so many shelves in there I could easily hide behind any and won’t be spotted. Walking in I look around, finding it empty I close the door behind me heading to the bookshelves that were built high.

I noticed a weird presence besides me but I didn't even notice it even anymore because I purposely just cut it off and refuse to think about it like it even existed. I knew that I was taking a chance on not asking for other things but since I was here I better get myself acquainted with their terms. So I moved towards the place where I believed that I will be able to get more information and that was going to last longer than any other thing that I was willing to share. I took a deep breath and headed to what's the inner sanctuary of the library. I had a feeling that something was going on in there that people did not just have access to and that was my duty to find it out and bring it to th

Enkille smiled and strolled near the young ruler of Argia. They walked at a steady pace, not losing their guards down. They heightened their senses for a possible surprise attack or an ambush. It seemed that their deities were looking after them because they reached the end of the tunnel without trouble. But there was another set of rune magic floating on air again. Branigan unbinds it effortlessly. Until they finally stood inside the massive library. The silence inside made them wonder. They could not see even a single faerie. “I feel sorry for the books stuck here,” Branigan said.

Liora Vale had always loved the quiet. At twenty-one, she worked the night shift at the old city library. Most people thought the job was boring, but Liora loved being alone with the books after midnight. The tall shelves felt like old friends. One rainy night, while sorting the rare books section, she found a strange leather book hidden behind others. It had no title. When she opened it, the pages glowed softly. Words appeared. Choose a story. Bring him to life. One night only.

Away from everybody. The library door appeared at the end of the hallway. I stopped. Then shrugged. Nobody willingly entered a library during a party. Which made it the perfect place to hide. I pushed the door open. The scent of old books and dust greeted me immediately. But there was silence. I almost sighed in relief. The room was dimly lit. Floor-to-ceiling shelves lined the walls. A large desk sat near the windows. Several armchairs occupied the corners. The room felt untouched by the chaos happening elsewhere in the house.

For answers that the Heartstone, the rift, and even Morwen’s confession hadn’t given me. So I returned to the library fully now. Not the main hall,but the far win,the abandoned shelves. The place where forgotten books gathered dust like old regrets. No one went there. Not even the librarians. It was said that the books there had nothing useful,only outdated theories, broken incantations, and failed experiments. But sometimes, the most dangerous truths hide in plain sight… or in plain neglect. That afternoon, I went to the library alone. I wasn't looking for any book in particular. I ran my fingers along the spines, listening to the silence and allowing it to guide me.

She said with heads inclined in a soft bow. “Okay, it's a yes or no question. Find out from the Alpha if its something I can skip, if it is, then tell him that I am buried in the library searching for something.” I stated and headed towards the library. It was almost night fall and the library was located in the innermost part of the room which made it dark even by day so I had to carry a lamp. “Library is closed, Luna.” The guards standing by the library door informed as I got there and I squinted my eyes in a questioning manner.

I say, pulling her into a hug as we stand. “If there’s a cure, I’ll help you find it. We can start with the library. There has to be something there.” I flash a smile, eager to begin. We head to the library, my thoughts racing with the possibilities of what hidden truths it might hold. I’ve never been here since starting at the academy, but I already feel that there’s a secret waiting to be uncovered. The library is quiet, its heavy wooden shelves filled with books, some new and some old, all neatly kept. Their cracked spines suggest the old ones have been here for ages.

I heard Dana finally chuckling as I bolted out the door. I went straight to the library. It was the best place to escape when I needed to disappear. The tall shelves, the quiet, the smell of old paper — it always calmed me. But things were slightly different this time. The air felt heavier. A faint glow came from one of the higher shelves I had never noticed before. I reached up, fingers brushing an old, leather-bound book that looked out of place. The moment I tugged it free, something crackled like static.

If the name meant something, if it opened old wounds or revealed dangerous secrets, I would see it in his eyes. But what if mentioning that name was something he did not want to hear? What if it was connected to something painful, something he had tried to forget? What if it exposed secrets about my mother that she had died trying to protect? I stopped pacing and pressed my palms against my temples, trying to think clearly through the chaos in my mind. My mother had hidden this book in a secret, magical library that existed outside normal space. She had not just tucked it away in a drawer or hidden it under her mattress. She had placed it in a room that required supernatural intervention to
