By the Light of Lightening: Pen is Mightier than The Sword

Summary: Chip…in a library…enough said.
Disclaimer: Don't own them.
Chip loved libraries. It has that nice smell of old paper and ink. When he was younger, his mom would take him to the library. They would make an adventure out of it. To found a different book in every section…He never knew what type of book that he would discover around the next corner. Science Fiction…History…Fiction…non..fiction and the list went on.
He loved reading them. But…fantasy…
Fantasy…He fell in love with it. It gave him the ability to travel to different worlds and ability to forget about the real world for awhile.
He sneezed.
Although, he wasn't a fan of the dust. It made him sneeze like no one's business.
His fingers ran along the spirals of the books. He wondered how old some of these books were. How long that they have been staying on these shelves? How long have someone read them?
It was like looking for a hidden treasure.
At least, that is the assignment that Daggeron gave him while it wasn't exciting.
Despite the knowledge that I can teach you…there are some things that I can't. So, you must look here. I want to find our history. I want a report, of course. Mostly, I want you to learn and understand. We are a dying breed, Chip. I hope that it will reverse after the war. But for now…it is only us.
While it wasn't exciting work, but it's was own adventure. He had no idea what he was going to find in these old books. He stared at the book shelves. He didn't know where to start.
So, he picked up a book. He smiled when he read the title.
Cooking for Elves
Don't think that he will need that. He put the book back then picked up another. The book didn't have a title. It had a simple red cover. He flipped through it for a moment and stopped on a page.
Today was a sad day. We have lost the unicorn's land to the Master. The unicorns are safe, of course. They have many gifts that we do not. They flee from his vile touch. We don't know how long they will be gone nor will they come back.
We hope that they will come back. We need them.
He flipped a couple of more pages and read another.
I went to the mountain today. My brothers told me that I was being a silly girl. They don't understand. They don't see the flow of the river under their feet. They don't see how it will sweep them away. I pity them and weep for them. For the time will come when I will be the only one here.
He frowned for a moment. He flipped through it again. He hoped to find a name. No name…so, it meant to be a journal. He tucked the book under his arm. Maybe, he will read later. She did sound curious…although slightly crazy too. But it will be interesting read. Daggeron and Undonna have only hinted at the Great War. Now…he found a first hand account. He couldn't wait to read it. But right now, he had to find something else.
He walked over to another shelf and picked another book.
The First Knight
This is what he was looking for.
He smiled and headed off to a little table stuffed in a corner. He took a seat on the small table and flipped open to the first page.
End.
