Chapter 54 - Some Unexpected Assistance

"Now then my dear girl, since you're fully healed now..."

Snap!

"I welcome you to the Ender Library."

"Gaaasssp!"

Ely gasps as the light that once emitted from her eyes and mouth flicker off as if the switch was flipped.

"Huff, huff, huff. What the... heck was that?"

Ely mused faintly while panting as if she'd running for days.

Her gaze diverted to the placing of the mysterious eye before.

Her gaze wasn't tense, wasn't horrified nor was it furious, but rather on3 of pure curiosity.

Her pupils expanded as the questions in her mind began to swirl like a vicious worm pool.

'Hm, where did this place even come from?'

'Wait a minute is this even a place?'

'Uhhh, Elianor be serious of course it is because....'

She thought as her pupils shrunk once more and she thought,'What ever this thing or eye or maybe even an entity that Kian managed to encounter in free time... its definitely attached to a wall or something like that?'

"Entities..... is that what you call us... oh i forgot, but that doesn't matter."

The eye... it spoke to Ely who'd knew she wasn't hearing things and so her eyes pried open in shock.

She looked at the eye that looked back at her with an unreadable expression for that was expected because it was a singular eye and nothing more.

Ely then moved her lips and opened her jaw in attemp to speak, but she could not.

And she didn't know why.

Could it be that this creatures presence somehow forbade her from speaking?

Or was it that she was a pure loss for words as she looked upon the creature that lain before her.

"Hahaha little girl..."

The eye spoke which Ely to visibly shiver.

"Of only you were at 'his' level or age, I would have perhaps told you everything you wanted to know."

"Buh alas... it seems to me that you have..."

CHHK, CHK!

Clicking echoed.

WRRRR!

High pitched creaking blared out.

DDOUT!

And a loud switch burst out as Ely's eyes vegan to dart left and right as they scanned the area.

"GASP!"

Ely gasped as her eyes open wide to a horror way worse than she could ever imagine.

"Some work to do."

The voice completed its statements as Ely's body began to float once more, but in a slow motion and horizontal direction.

Ely was oblivious to all this as her eyes, as pure and clean as they were reflected something that could truly bring shock to one.

Shelves...

Lot's and lot's of shelves.

They were numerous and seed to have an almost endless number as their rectangular, square and other various shapes reflected her eyes.

But then again Ely was a float in mid air so, how is it that she could see shelves?

This question crossed through her mind like a painful reminder of unfinished homework, painful and diminishing.

Though she felt this way, her brows furrowed and her gaze quickly diverted towards the eye that now seemed to he further away from her.

This shocked her, but not enough to make her scream or panick in confusion. All she felt in that moment was acceptance, after all she was sent over to retrieve some very special books.

Ely who drifted further and further into the space of what seemed to be a library? Though slowly, she looked at the eye and opened her mouth once more.

She took a long bit to speak as her mouth stayed open as her gaze slowly darted downwards.

Her mouth soon closed after and all that Ely could do was allow her body to slowly drift away..., but to where? And how would she find what she was looking for?

These questions echoed about in her mind and all a sudden....

"Oh and by the way..."

Ely lifted her head faster than someone who had been caught dozing in class as she eyes widened and her attention focused itself on the eye.

"My name is Drůer."

This statement as blank and meaningless as it was seemed to change Ely's attitude completely as small tear fell from her right eye and a curve tugged itself at the right corner if her lip.

She closed her eyes as smile perked up on her face as she a waved at the eye.

Though her herself was confused about her bodily actions just right now... it somehow felt right. Like taking a bitter medicine that might cause one to gag, but will heal them instead.

The eyes' lids then closed shut and...

WRRRRR!

CHHK, CHHK!

DUT, CHHK, DUT, CHHK, DUT, CHHK, DUT, CHHK!!!

.....

The creaking sound blared out once more as the sounds if release and unlocking echoed at rhythmic paces.

And soon after,

CHHK, DUT!

DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT, DUT!

The shelves began release themselves and flew in to the air as they attached to each other one by one. As if they were closing the pathway to Drůer.

Ely slowly drifted further away as she then realised that she had a mission to complete.

But only her bodily energy was restored and not her magna reserves and so she tried swimming in the air which seemed to work, but the only problem was...

"Dammit these shelves are too damn far."

Ely snarled in annoyance as she then paused her actions in hope that something or someone like Drůer would appear.

"Mmmm, Kian... how are things on your end huh? Hehe, he must scaring the heck out of whoever tried to come after or even worse the entire staff."

Ely chuckled as her breath once again slowed and her eyelids fluttered as she struggled to stay awake.

And just as her vision blurred, her breathes deafened in her ears as her mind eased...

"Elianor..."

'Huh?'

"Elianor Reves. Red curly hair... big round eyes, emerald-green irises... Yap this is her alright."

A conducted feminine voice blared out as this caused Ely to snap back awake as she furiously turned her head with blood shit eyes which showed her alertness for the situation.

In her eyes, a woman who seemed to be around 5 feet, had dark lined sleepy eyes, spects with a circular shape and sky blue handles and lining, her lips were round, a turned up nose, a slim physique and short brown hair.

She wore a navy blue coat and skirt, her shirt was black and so were her high heels.

Her presence wasn't hostile nor was it welcoming it was more of a formal neutral kind of presence which Ely hadn't ever sensed.

The lady soon after stretched out her hand and said, "Ms.Reves, I am Oveal Teresa, the Librarian of this mysterious place. And I was assigned to help you get some books."

Ely gazed at the woman intently before moving her mouth to say, "Who sent you then?", as she then grabbed Oveal's hand.

"Mhmhm, I believe you might know him by the names of 'Kian Vian'."

[Hey guys, I hope your Christmases were all swell and jolly. Mine was and it gave me enough energy to give y'all some to look forward to. Love y'all thanks.]
