When the girls had left the store, Celide parted ways with them. Now, I can hit The Phoenix Pages! Celide took off sprinting toward the small, hut like shop, by the river. As she waltzed through the doors, a bell rang, announcing her entrance. The store was packed with books. There were rows of bookshelves, piles of books, and cages hanging from the ceiling filled with.yep books. She weaved her way through the books toward the counter. Standing behind the counter, was an elf, with long blonde hair and green eyes set in a wrinkled face.
"Hello, Celide! I was expecting you earlier." Greeted the elf.
Celide gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Good afternoon, Tetuil. You weren't the only one expecting me to be here earlier. I ran into some detours on my way here." She leaned over the edge and started to look around.
"You wouldn't happen to be looking around for anything in particular." Tetuil questioned Celide. She just gave him a pleading look.
"Pleeeeaaaassssseeeeee!!! Can I have it now?! Waiting till today was torture enough. I can't stand the suspense anymore!" Celide was jumping up and down.
"I am not sure what you want."
"I am not in the mood to play games." She had stopped jumping and her eyes were icing over.
"I would keep you in anticipation longer, but it would be a shame to lose my number one customer." He smiled and patted her head as he slowly made his way behind the counter. Celide wasn't kept waiting for long. "Here we are." Tetuil dropped tremendously huge book on the counter. Its cover was in shambles and its 3,000 pages were yellowed.
Celide immediately grabbed the book. "I owe you more than you will ever know, Tetuil. This means so much to me. She handed him her past six months salary.
"You are quite lucky today, young one. A man had come in earlier this morning asking to see this exact book; he even asked for it by name. I had shown it to him, but when he asked to buy it, I refused. I am a man of my word and I promised you the book. He was a little mystified when I informed him that the book was already reserved, but left with a smirk on his face. The thing is how does one, other than you, know that I have a book that has not been seen of since before the eldest of the elves can remember." Celide left the store wondering about the guy who wanted the book, but was too swept up in the reality of having the book to wonder for long.
