This is the last chapter for this story. :')
*.*.*
The library at Landseer Castle was huge. There were so many bookcases filled with books and scrolls, stained-glass windows sat high on the walls, and tables and chairs scattered about the room. Parker looked around this room in awe. He couldn't believe how much information was here by means of books and scrolls.
"Take a look around. You'll stay in here until you call me back. I'll have one of the guards stay with you, but should you enter a world by means of a book portal, you won't return, not until your lesson is learned, whatever that may be," Melisandre said, taking her leave of the library.
Parker was left alone.
The light red dragonoid looked around, spotting a golden-spotted leopard enter the library after Melisandre ordered him to. It was the Queen's Guard and he grinned menacingly at him.
"So, I guess I'll be watching you then," the Queen's Guard said with a smirk, joining Parker. "Well, let's take a look around. Although, I would check that stone pedestal over there. You may find the book you need."
"You're not leading me to a book portal, are you?" Parker asked, cautious of this feline.
"I think you'll find what you need there," the Queen's Guard said, smiling wickedly at him.
Parker said nothing. He looked around a third time, deciding to explore every book he could find, to learn what really happened in the Land of Talking Animals.
.
Parker searched the library for hours and found nothing to suit his interests. There were so many books that it was difficult to pinpoint which one he was looking for. After a while, Parker tossed a book aside, already lost in the overwhelming information he received about the Land of Talking Animals.
At last, he looked up, spotting a book on a pedestal that took his interest. The Queen's Guard wanted him to explore that book, but why? Something didn't add up. If he were to look at it, unlock its secrets, who knew what would happen next.
He sighed, deciding to stick with his gut and see what this book had to offer. Just by the look of the title, it was a new world.
"The Hundred-Acre Wood," Parker read the book's title to himself. "Seems odd." He grunted, opening the book to its middle pages, only to discover a bright light gulfing him, taking him out of the Land of Talking Animals and into the Hundred-Acre Wood.
He was in a new world, but what was the cost for leaving the Seven Realms? That was something Parker was about to find out soon enough.
