We spent hours at the library that first day.

I probably walked ten miles and had only just begun to understand the sheer number of books on the first floor, let alone the entire place. I had my speed walk on, weaving and bobbing through the stacks, pulling books down, and forcing myself not to ooh and ahh at every title I came to. The mall walkers of America would have been proud of me.

Alabaster, Shade, and I tackled the bottom floor, all different sections, all looking for the same things. We were researching the stone to understand more about it, what it did, and the powers that it held. We were also looking for the King Collector or any kind of creature that resembled him. Of course, we really didn't know much about what he looked like except for my small memory of him in the voice, but we knew what his cronies looked like.

There were stacks and stacks of books about the different magical creatures, dark magic, and everything in between splayed out on the tables. However, after hours of research, we still had no idea who the King Collector was or where he might've come from. We were coming up completely empty, which didn't make any sense to me. Either a whole new level of being was created without anyone knowing it in any of the realms, or there was something much more common about the King Collector that we realized. Either way, Shade was getting antsy, and I could tell he wasn't the kind of guy that was satisfied with doing research in the library.

Walking out of one of the stacks, reading a book, I glanced up to find him Alabaster pacing the floor, seemingly talking to himself. I stopped and raised a brow. "I know that we're free to use the library, but I'm pretty sure that Willa will be pissed if you run a hole in the carpet. You might want to relax."

Shade stopped and glanced up at me, realizing he was talking to himself. He chuckled and let out an exhaustive sigh. "I can't look at another book. I now know every creature ever born in any realm outside of Earth. Not a single one of them has anything to do with the King Collector. And if they do? We don't know what it is. I feel I'm just wasting time here." He grabbed his lightweight jacket from the back of the chair. "I'm gonna do some research on my own out in town. I'll let you know if I come up with anything. If you find anything in those books…"

I nodded. "I'll let you know. Be safe out there."

He gave me a half-smile and then turned and walked from the library. I looked back at Alabaster with my hands on my hips. "Well, I guess it's just the two of us."

But Alabaster wasn't paying any attention to me. He was standing there mumbling to himself like a crazed professor. I couldn't even understand what he was saying.
