I own no one. Enjoy.
No one was there… At all. They had not seen their arrival. Sabriel looked slightly hesitant to go anywhere, but Lirael just dragged her along with a wry chuckle, saying that she'd lived there her entire life… she knew the place like the back of her palm…
She walked in through the back door, where that man had first offered to help her. Tears came to her eyes… it was weird, the change of perspective.
Walking in, some of the servants greeted her as if she's never gone missing. It showed Sabriel just how important Lirael was there. Back then. She made her way up to the library. No one saw them. At all. Sabriel felt funny, walking around and not being noticed. It was relaxing. But bound to be depressing after a while.
Sabriel gasped, entering the library. It was huge, books everywhere… "This is where I lived. Really. I loved this place. It was where I could truly be alone. Also where I discovered my destiny." She rummaged through the books and pulled out her first Charter book. "This is how I learned to make dog." And suddenly, she saw a head librarian walking towards her. It was obvious that she had seen them, and was spelling Charter marks.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" She asked.
"It's me, Imshi." Lirael said.
"Lirael?" Imshi asked. "You are alright!! I wondered where you'd gone to!" She looked at her expectantly, then noticed Sabriel and her bandolier. She gasped. "Greetings Abhorsen." And then turned to Lirael and asked, "What's going on here?"
"I'm Abhorsen in waiting." She said, looking Imshi straight in the eye proudly, instead of down at the ground as Imshi expected. Imshi looked awed. And then her attention was diverted down to a glint of gold near Lirael's pocket.
"What's that?" she asked. Lirael showed Imshi her golden hand. Imshi gasped and paled visibly. All of a sudden, "We heard intruders!" cried out a voice. "Who are they?" asked another, at the same intensity, and stepping from the doorway were Sanar and Ryelle. They looked surprised at their guests…
Well? OOC and late but… haiz. Gimme ideas…
