When we reach the library, it’s beginning to get dark. Scarlett takes us to the antiquated books section. It’s walled-off. She pulls out an ancient-looking skeleton key.

“All Crystal Shire residents eighteen and up get a key,” she explains. We go through the door into a narrow tunnel and emerge into a circular room. The books are stacked with such care. Flat, not upright. They’re very old, primordial. The smell of old hardcovers fills the room. The whole castle, really, but this room especially emits the scent of aged paper. Still, the books’ condition is nearly immaculate. This is spiritual preservation at work.

“Okay, vortexes and transcendental planes.”

Expertly navigating the room, Scarlett points out where to look. She obviously spends a lot of time here. “I work here in-kind sometimes,” she answers my unspoken thought.

We split up and scan the shelves. Scarlett looks for vortexes and Connor looks for transcendental planes. I look for a Bible. I know there has to be a copy here. I’m hoping it’s an old one. Finally, I spot it. It’s the oldest book in the room. It even has its own shelf. The cover is preserved and written in Latin. I scoop it up, carefully.

“I’ve got something,” Connor says from across the room. He carries a thick book. Leather bound with thin pages. “Just says Vortex. Super old, like all of ‘em, but this one is really aged.”

“Looks good,” I say, inspecting the fragile spine.

“Transcendental Planes,” Scarlett exclaims, emerging with an equally archaic book, similar cover.

“Perfect. It’s a place to start. Thank you, guys.” With that, we lock up the room and head back to Regina’s. I’ve got some studying to do.
