Lilith

Jordan seemed to have graduated from refusing to believe she could love him to believing she could love him if they could just accomplish her mission together. That was a start, she supposed. They cleaned up a little and then ventured out into the Underground metropolis. It was late at night by then but of course, you couldn’t tell from how many creatures and people were still out and about. The streetlights were turned on in the narrow cobblestone streets, lighting up the subterranean world and Lilith had to move fast to avoid getting hit by a wheelbarrow or just some witch or warlock who refused to get out of the way.

“Do you think those goblins were enchanted?” She was holding Jordan’s hand and she squeezed it as they walked along. “Or maybe they were mercenaries? I’ve heard you can get a whole goblin army to fight for you if you have the cash. I took a whole class in Contemporary Goblin Society.”

Jordan stopped short on the narrow little street between boutiques hawking clothes and magical artifacts and potion ingredients. He stared at Lilith. “You took an entire class in Contemporary Goblin Society?”

“Well, it was an elective.” Lilith shrugged. “I thought it would be interesting.”

“Wish I could’ve gone to an academy,” he muttered, and they went back to walking.

But it bothered her that he’d wanted a formal education and been cheated out of one because, she supposed, he’d fallen through the cracks of having crappy parents. What was sadder was that he was so smart. He would’ve been a good student and all academies had at least a few scholarships available for underprivileged kids.

“There’s adult education!” Lilith blurted, just as he pushed open the door of a little stone building that didn’t look nearly big enough to be a proper library. But on the inside it was huge; magic having distorted the space. It was a cathedral of a building on the inside and the foyer was huge and had marble floors and a statue of Athena and a giant globe on a stand slowly rotating.

“Adult education?” Jordan echoed, chuckling. He spoke quietly as he led her past people and creatures hunched over books at tables under giant chandeliers to the demonology section.

“I mean there’s colleges,” Lilith whispered. “If you…” She cleared her throat and felt like she was embarrassing him. But for once, Jordan seemed genuinely cheerful. Which was odd since he had just nearly died. Yet every time he looked at her, his eyes twinkled and he smiled toothily.

“Hey, here we go. I just returned a really good demonology encyclopedia actually but there should be a better who’s who type resource…”

“You come here a lot then?” Lilith asked.

The shelves towered from the floor to twelve feet up and had ladders along rails. Jordan bit his lip, squinting as he tapped the spines one by one until he ended up climbing the ladder, his ass clothed in tight black jeans ending up right in Lilith’s face. She smirked and gave it a teasing slap.
