Prologue IV: The Report and a new Chance

[Why hello again, It’s been a short while since you were here.]

…

[What’s with the pouting face? What happened to that regal look you have back there? Are you that annoyed in meeting me up here again?]

…

[How very frank of you. Well as if you have any choice with regards to this matter. So how was it? The second life given to you that is. Let me hear it from you.]

Prologue III: Unsettling Tidings

Dust and the smell of wood and of paper permeated the whole air of this ancient library. The stained glass with different designs of nature, men, and women were located all over the place and distills the bright sun outside into a soft glow inside. It was a picturesque and solemn scene that stimulates the mind to ask questions and therefore seek answers for those who visit. Inside were a vast collection of grimoires, scrolls, and maps of all topics neatly arranged to their designated categories. Numerous scribes in white robes could be seen in one section and is dedicated to the task of rewriting and translating the thousands of articles. While attendants in black robes sort, clean, and maintain the orderliness of the said books. Librarians in gray robes with hooded heads quietly walk to and fro, assisting those who are in need of a particular subject. It was truly a treasure trove for people who’s primary purpose is to find knowledge and wisdom.

Prologue II: A Royal End

I slowly open my eyes and was greeted by the dawn light from the window. It is already the middle of spring and any traces of the preceding harsh winter had already vanished. Looking around while doing some light stretching, it seems that I’ve slept soundly while sitting on my favorite chair beside the window.

It’s been a while since I had that dream. It happened a long time ago but the memories are still so vivid that it looks like it just happened yesterday. Taking deep breaths and washing my face afterwards, nostalgia seems to have its way to my feelings as I put on my usual clothing in preparation for this day. Not soon after, I heard a light knock from the door to my room.

Prologue I: Unplanned Goodbye

“I’m very sorry!”

Time seemed to stop when I heard those words. I thought it can only happen to other guys and was guilty of laughing and joking about it. But here I am, stunned to silence by this polite rejection of my confession to the girl I liked for a really long time.
