Who Burned Alexandria Library Novels & Stories

The librarians already knew where she was, and they’d chase until they lost her. Neither one of us had a clue if these librarians were impervious to the liquid fire, but it was worth a try. I felt somewhat bad for setting fire to the underground library, losing knowledge was horrible, but there was always that chance it could be saved. That’s what Iridian is about; chances and odds.

the first one who spoke replied. "We won't!" I said with full of certainty. "We cannot let you do that!" After all, who are they to command me? I am Priam's child! I have to authority to search for his book. "W-Why would..." Emma whispered in shock. "...the information leaked too fast?!" She's right! Why would that happened? "We came here preserve such libraries as a part of our duty being librarian staffs." another one of them said. "Your searching can damage such libraries and books!" the last one uttered.

Victoria, sprawled beside the road, sobbed in relief. Alexander rushed forward, Colton not far behind. “Where’s the notebook?” Colton asked, his voice tight. Victoria, tear-streaked and trembling, pointed toward the burning vehicle. Alexander took a step forward—only for Colton to grab his arm. A beat later, the car exploded in a violent burst of heat and metal. Too late. The notebook was gone. Reduced to ash. Alexander stood frozen, face hard as stone, a flicker of red behind his eyes. He’d hoped… this could have held answers. Maybe even the truth behind Marken’s death.

LILITH’S POV We take a small detour to the new library, which, according to Kain, has just been finally put in place. The books were luckily saved by the fire apparently. The number of staff dedicated in keeping the knowledge and history alive evacuated everything as soon as the explosions started. Misplaced priorities there, but profitable for me in the end. We enter into the large hall space with almost a hundred shelves of books with rich history and information, the jackpot on every possible thing I’d ever want to find is definitely here.

"He is in hospital but-" "Just spit it out already." Prince Alexius yelled, becoming very impatient. "I just spoke to the doctor and he said Elias was burnt severely... so severely he had head injuries and he lost his eye sight." Queen Lucia clasped her hand against her mouth clearly shocked. "They tried to save him as early as possible, my Prince but three other men who were in the dungeon were burnt to dust." "Book everything necessary, we will leave in an hour." Prince Alexius said void of emotion. Gregory silently nodded, Queen Lucia sighed closing the door as he went to the balcony where Prince Alexius stood like nothing happened.

"You were buying time." "I was positioning everyone." Another explosion echoed somewhere behind the compound. One of Alex's men rushed into the hall. "They've breached the south entrance!" Another appeared seconds later. "The warehouse is on fire!" "And the docks?" "Gone!" Alex's composure cracked for the first time. "What?" "Our shipments..." "They destroyed everything!" Zane never took his eyes off him. "You were watching one hostage." "I was dismantling your empire." Upstairs... The sounds grew louder. Nearer.

It came from the eastern dormitories. Without hesitation, we ran. Students flooded the hallways in panic. Smoke drifted through the corridors. "The library!" someone shouted. "It's burning!" My heart sank. The Ancient Library. The largest collection of magical history in the Four Kingdoms. Liam arrived seconds later. "No..." He rushed inside despite the flames. "Liam!" I shouted. "It's too dangerous!" "I have to save the archives!" Orion raised his hand. Golden light burst through the burning entrance, forming a protective barrier around Liam.

Something on fire. I looked out of my bedroom door only to see a woman burning some familiar books in the gardens. I paused looking back inside my room at my study table only to see all the books I had snuck out of the library to keep in my room had disappeared. I pulled on the first clothes I saw, to run downstairs to stop the woman burning my books. Those were books about my father that I had gotten from the library with great effort, how could someone just come up to burn it?

POV: Zara Moon The old book burst into flames in my hands. I screamed and dropped it, watching ages of magical knowledge turn to ash on the library floor. The smell of burned paper filled the air as I hurriedly tried to stamp out the fire. "What did you do?" Celeste rushed over, her face frightened. "That was the only copy of the Shadowmere Chronicles!" "I don't know!" I was close to tears. "I was just reading about blue fire magic, and suddenly it just—"

"You watched it die. This is all just paper and wood now. Burn it." The nurses looked hesitantly at Alex. "Do as she says," Alex said, closing his eyes in pain. A single match was all it took to destroy the blood-stained music book. The flames consumed every note I had ever written. They consumed the love songs I wrote for him, and they consumed all of our memories. Ashes danced in the air, just like our shattered love. "Valentina..." Alex choked out. "I'll give you anything you want. Please, just don't torture yourself like this."
