Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 : The Library

The moment Xasxquar entered the library, he was hit with a massive gust of dust from the opening of the doors of the library, the shelves ranged from; "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" to "a" scribed on a single scroll and from "the history of Xasxfqe" to "the future of Xasxfqe" but most surprisingly there was a whole room named "Xasxquar" And the room is bigger than the king's palace. Everyone at the library just stopped what they were doing and said, "Beware of what you might see from the room, for the doors are enchanted and shelves treacherous and menacing". Xasxquar, tired of everyone saying the same thing the same way, shouted, "Can you all not creep me out?" and suddenly, the next moment, everyone was saying, "Do not be confused, child, you will understand when you are more knowledgeable about this place". Xasxquar angrily tried to enter the room, but he was stopped in his tracks by the guards and was warned that if he tried to enter the room, he would be shot dead by the guards on the spot. Because he wasn't in the Xasxquarian class. Later, the guard explained the class system on the way out because he had to kick Xasxquar out, not knowing who he was. Then he explained that there were four different classes: the qualits, the moetrolians, the seliponians, and finally the Xasxquarians, and that only the people from the class of Xasxquarians would be able to enter the Xasxquar room. And to be in the Xasxquarian class, he would have to work hard and save up enough Queils to get into the Xasxquarian class. They talked for a while. The guard was nice and introduced himself. Xasxquar politely gave some advice after the guard told his sorrows, and then they parted in their own ways. The guard also stated that because he was new to the city, the guard let him live, or else he would have been dead. And the moment he was out of the library, he saw someone's remains being transported to the cemetery. He later learned that the person had said the words "I saw Xasxquar" in front of the king when he wasn't there in front of the king, causing his unfortunate death, because it is punishable by death if one says "Xasxquar" when Xasxquar isn't there in front of him. But at the same time, he had other things to worry about, such as how he was going to get home without getting spotted by the mother, or how he was going to get enough Queils to enter the Xasxquarian class. Or how to even get the citizen membership or the right to live membership, besides all this, he still had many questions left unanswered, why was the highest class named after him, and why was his name so forbidden to say in front of the king when he wasn't there that it will cause the persons death, all he had was a brain filled to the brink with why's and how's. And yet when he came back home, he had to satisfy his mother with lies about his apparent new job in the city of yongrmo, while he researched himself and his father in the city of tyiijorg.
