~Part 4
Seiryuu: The Mirror of Mystery
Chapter 16


I woke up late in the morning. I bathed and ate, as the usual morning ritual
goes and then went to my room. I didn't come out and Eriol often asked as to
why but I didn't answer him. I thought about my ideas over and over until my
head ached. then, mid-afternoon came. I bathed(as it was quite hot) and dressed
up only in a thin and cool white shirt, black pants and boots topped with a
green tunic held by a brown belt.

There wa a knock upon my door.

"enter." I said.

It was Rika. She was dressed in her usual lavander dress with a short sleeve
and skirt that reached only a handspan below the knee. It seems that she was
already informed of my journey.

"shall we?" she asked.

I gave her a smile and stood up.

we left he mansion silently with Eriol sleeping and all. We rode Tomoyo's
personal coach drawn by pure white stallions.

"They're amazing...." I said, putting aside my troubles for a while. "..I heard
they're really hard to train."

Rika smiled. "ze lady az zome magic wiz ze animalz it iz really amazing! juz
a touch en volia! she'z tamed them."

After a few moments, my thoughts whirled back again to my suspicions. 'It's
baseless!' a voice inside me protested... but still....


After a while, we finally reached the library. I don't know how much we travelled
since I slept for - who knows how long? But we reached it anyway and I guess that
that's fine. The library was a very old building but it was a magnificent building.
the highest part of the whole thing was the dome-shaped ceiling. It was really
a work of art and architechture. The whole thing was made of marble.

"zid you know zat ze bulding was made by ze lady's anzestours? It waz zaid zat
ze 'oul thing waz built wizin a year, non-stop majic 'ere en zere!" Rika happily
said.

I looked at it with repect. It was made by honorable people who, even though they
were enchantors and enchantresses, labored with it day and night...and as Rika
said....non-stop - if that "non-stop" part was true.


We entered the library's arced doorway and went inside. It was more glorious!
When Rika told me(once along the journey) that the whole building was made of
marble, the WHOLE building was made of marble. Every shelf, counter, table,
statue and decorations that decorated the whole area was made of marble.

"I can't believe this...." I muttered.

"she's a beauty izn't she?" Rika said in awe.

The building was very wide and had three stories. To the left was a counter-
table and that's where the guards sit. As we entered a bit deeper, many ivory
tables with ivory stools that were attached to the floor were arranged in four
straight columns and then......

"ze lady 'az described zis perzon to me.....isn't zat 'im?" Rika said, as
she pointed to a green-clad person that I have already once seen....

the person had a strange hat on his head and his green shirt had a tail and
sleeves that were really loose and wide and he was wearing a white, puffy
pants. He was breathing heavily for some reason and was heading a book. His
hands were clenched. But I wasn't sure...

"Touya?" I whispered.
