❧  Library

As Seulgi searched through the ancient tomes and dusty scrolls in the library of Knightmare Island, her mind wandered to the depths of her past. Lost in thought, she muttered to herself, her voice barely audible over the quiet rustle of parchment and the distant echoes of her own footsteps.

"Once a goddess of light, now condemned to darkness," she whispered, her fingers tracing the faded spines of the books before her. "What have I become? Is there truly no hope for redemption?"

Her heart heavy with the weight of centuries of regret and longing, Seulgi closed her eyes and let her mind drift back to a time long gone. Memories of a distant past flooded her senses: the shimmering light of the moon, the gentle touch of the night breeze, the laughter of mortals dancing beneath her silver glow.

But even amidst the beauty of her memories, a shadow loomed dark and foreboding. The curse she had wrought upon humanity gnawed at her soul, a constant reminder of her failure and the suffering she had unleashed upon the world.

"Forgive me," Seulgi whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. "Forgive me for the pain I have caused, for the lives I have destroyed. If only there were a way to undo the harm I have wrought..."

Lost in her thoughts, Seulgi remained unaware of the faint sound of footsteps approaching from behind.

It's been a while since the vampire visited the library. Since he's been gone for many centuries, everything, now coming back had changed. Or shall he say didn't. The library, his precious place to visit during such times, He made his way back towards that of the old library. A hand touched the building and a soft sigh escaped. "You shall always remain here" he spoke to the building and tapped it softly. "Ay ol' girl?" he walked inside the building looking around at the none change.

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ I was like that as well when I was human, then again since I was a teacher and scholar in an olden time I had to be on top of everything
*goes through the process of checking them out and then holds them out to you with a soft smile*
you're welcome, its not every day I talk to someone about books

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] Really? *chuckles* I think I'm more the type to read till the morning if something interests me, rather than using it as a way to fall asleep.
*follows you with my hands crossed behind my back and then looks over the titles*
Thank you. *smiles at you*

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ oh really? Well some people do find books as a good way to fall asleep for an odd reason
*shrugs slightly and goes back to the desk and looks at the books I found for you laying them out for you to see*
I did get a poet who right small stories as well, his stories are pretty easy to understand so I am sure you will like them

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] I don't think I will. I usually can't fall asleep during the actual day, only at night. So I'll dutifully read. *promises with a very serious nod*
Ah...don't get me wrong, I love bad weather...but I want to be inside my house because it's cozy.

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ *closes the book in my hand and nods my head slightly*
You will end up falling asleep, but that does sound very cozy
*lets out a soft laugh as I look out the window and hums a little and looks back at you*
I think it looks beautiful out, then again I am used to the night

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] *eyes the book in your hand and then shakes my head a little bit* I think I'm ready to take my books and get home to read in bed, feeling cozy. The weather is terrible to be outside.
*looks out the windows, although it wasn't raining, it was pretty dark with clouds*

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ *hims looking at the books you were standing in front of as I glance at you heating your words*
ah I dont charge a fee, the island is pretty big so it wont be hard to find you
*shrugs slightly as I pull one of the books off the shelves and scans the pages*
Oh I might read this one, its interesting... ah did you want to continue looking around? if so I cant take you to what ever you are looking for

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] *gets a bit spooked when you reappear but masks it successfully, putting on an easy going smile*
Just looking around. I don't think I want to get too many books, I'm a slower reader too...I'd get many fees for not returning the books in time if I get too many.

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ *hums as I find the books with ease and finds a few Edgar Allen Poe books and poems you might like before coming back to the desk setting them down*
hmm I wonder if he found a few books on his own
*whispers to myself before stretching and goes to find where you were*
are you finding some interesting books Andre?

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] Okay. *nods as I look over at you before you go off to find the books and then I busy myself pulling some books out to check the cover before pushing them back to their place, moving along the shelf until taking a turn at the end and continuing with the next one*

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ mhm if you get lost just call for me and I will come and get you
*chuckles softly as I grab my notes for the locations on the books I found for you and hums leaving you behind to grab the books*

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] ᾟ André Hamann ※ 1 second ago Reply
I'll try my best. *chuckles knowing my navigation skills aren't all that bad and so I feel pretty safe I'll manage to orientate around the book shelves*
I'll be somewhere around here. *tells you as I step to the nearby shelf looking at the titles*

I'll be somewhere around here. *tells you as I step to the nearby shelf looking at the titles*

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ You can look around as well if you want too, the library is pretty big though so don't get lost
*thinks for a moment and nods*
It will take a while to understand poetry,

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] Okay then...*clears my throat and stays where I am, guessing I'm supposed to wait right there, but not fully sure*
I have hard time understanding them, I don't know. *chuckles* I tried one or two but I was always confused.

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ mhm I will go search the library for them in a moment
*runs my fingers through my hair as I look at you and thinks*
well a poem is like looking at a panting, you will look at the picture and however it makes you feel is what you think it means... though there are those poems that make you feel different things as you read it

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] Both of these books sounds like they are about people who ended up being where they shouldn't and wouldn't want to be. I'd like to read those.
*nods a little bit looking over at you with a smile*
Sometimes it's difficult to understand poems. I struggle with them.

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ For Maze runner its about people who mysteriously ended up in a made and have to escape, when they do.... ah I should spoil the book for you that much
As for Alice in Wonderland everyone should know about how the girl fell down the rabbit hole
*chuckles softly as I nod my head and moves to stand next to you leaning against the desk as well*
Poetry? I do enjoy a good poem or two on families like mine it was a thing we had to know and study so I do enjoy them and how they have changed as well

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] What are these about?
*wonders, trying to keep a track of your searching for the books*
Do I? Do you like poetry too?

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ Hm if you want recent books I'd say Maze Runner was pretty ok... you might like the original version of Alice in Wonderland
*glances up at you before standing back up and loos at the paper one last time for the location*
You have good taste when it comes to reading

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] *follows you to your desk, shrugging a bit as I lean my hip against the edge*
I dare to say there is. According to many movies I saw this summer after I got TV, mysterious characters who don't spill out everything are very popular with audience.
Series would be okay too, I think.

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ Is there a charm to that? I guess if you say nothing you can't really get into trouble
*asks as I walk over to the desk setting my own book down as I search the books we have in the library*
Ah then that sounds like you will enjoy a series over just a book on its own

@ϕ Park Seonghwa [SH] Well, there's a certain charm to that. *says aware of the number of times when I'd be better to say less than what I actually said* And maybe less troubles too.
*walks through the door once we arrive there with thanks* I think I like books with stories? Like interesting, complex stories that eventually fall in place? Genres, I guess it could be anything, I'm not too picky about that.

@ᾟ André Hamann ※ Oh really? I guess I'm just a man of few words
*walks put the door and thanks you as we walk to the library and opens the door for you once we arrive there*
What type of books do you like to read? Like genrea wise

Its been a while since the man stepped food inside this place. Something he havent done in a while. Since hes left for so long. But now. Coming back, it seems foreign yet familiar at the same time. Walking through the now seemingly remodled library. Onew came to a certain section. The forbidden section. Pulling the key from around his neck he placed within the lock and turned it. Opening this once foreign section.

@ϕ Bae Joohyun *looks at you and nods*
Bar sounds good, it's just two blocks away from here.
*smiles*

@ϗ Park Sooyoung Then shall we drink tonight? But I’ll warn you now, I get too clingy when drunk
*looks at the half moon greeting above the night sky. I took a deep breath, inhaling the midnight breeze and glance at you with a smirk on my face*
So...shall we go to a bar or something?
