It's been a while since I wrote anything for this and I wrote the Town of Anime chaper the same day I posted it. I'm not good at writing gore... it's suprisingly therapudic. Also forgot to adress this sorry /._./
No the stick was not the cinnamon guy, or wasn't supposed to be. I'd like to think my mind was telling me I should eat cerial. Also i'd not have made the connection to that so XD
At Vaati's statement Dave moved his wing over his face and it looked like he was pinching the bridge of his nose.
"What kind of lie did he tell this time?" Asked the owl and probably less than all sane bird.
"He said humans wouldn't like owls in the library." Said Vaati to which Dave let out a sigh.
"Dave, you are always bad about lies." He wipped his hand on the ladder step and dust flew down causing Vaati to cover his mouth with his cape. He turned from looking at Dave to staring at Vaati. "I've lived in this library for many years and have read about many things. You are a knew kind of small thing I never read about."
"Not a thing. I am not small (I'm fun sized!). The name is Vaati. I'm a wind mage." Said Vaati feeling bolder.
"Ah I see. You are still quite short Vaati. And not a mouse I should think. You do seem to be a bit small for a full grown rodent." Said the old owl.
"Why is this place so dusty?" Asked Vaati redirecting the conversation from his height.
"This used to ba a library of the founder Rowena Ravenclaw. There is a main library that is used by the students and teachers. One of the first founders had this one sealed up to preserve it." Said the old owl.
"Why have multiple libraries?"
"The founders had a diffrent personalities. To the point where they would often fight. They each have their own secret libraries throughout the castle though to my knowledge none have found the others yet."
"Then why live in the same place at all? It would have been better to have made their own school I should think."
"They tried that but students need difrent viewpoints as they came to the conclusion of. They each set out to find another witch or wizard who could help balance the learning of the children and give insight to the structure of the castle. Rowena and Sathazar planned the construction while Godrick funded the extention o his inherited castle. Helga often acted as the planner and mediator for certain creatures in the area. It's likley had Helga not been with them they'd have strangled eachother although even she could have enough of certain behavior."
"How did you find this one if they are so hidden?" He didn't want a full on history lesson yet he needed to know about now.
"Rowena always had a soft spot for avians." Said the owl criptically.
"That dosn't answer my question at all." Said Vaati with a twitch in his eyebrow.
"What he means-" Began Dave before being cut off by a squack. Dave then began to fly away from the owl that was again attacking him and Vaati watched before getting bored when the owls flew out the window with Dave yelling alot at the older owl who was silent in persuit.
He looked at the book again and studied the creature that was depicted. It seemed to be a white horse with a horn in it's head. The depiction showed the creature with a soft aura and seemed to be emerging from the woods.
"The Unicorn is a creature of pure light. It takes the form of a horse with a pure white coat and has a horn in the center of it's head. It is theorized the horn length tells the age of the creature as no small versions of them have ever been spotted and no tracks from herds have been connected with a potential young. Unicorns are mostly found in places heavily dense in trees enough so they can move about almost undetected. Unicorns can also be found around places where large pockets of light magic appear." Between the pages there was a note "Unicorns can help a wizard reflect on their past offences and see into the heart like a Dementor can see into a soul." Vaati breifly wondered what they would see if they looked into his. He then realized he couldn't care less.
Vaati turned the page with much effort and it kept... fighting back? Vaati wasn't sure if he was imagining half the battle but he was sure this darn thing was messing with him. He decided he disliked sentient books, books and hats. Elzo was certanly an annoying hat. Sentient castles were ok he guessed. When he finnaly beat the page into submission by landing ontop of it so it wouldn't move a page on the other side quickly flipped over onto him and a fith of the other pages soon followed.
"You win this one book but once I have plucked all of the knowledge from your old crinkly pages I will burn you in the smallest fire imaginable so it takes even longer for you to be put out of your missery as the flames eat you bit by bit!" Said Vaati while trying to get out from under the pages he was now trapped under. To his suprise the pages lifted off of him and landed back where they had been.
"See! Was that so hard?" Vaati stood up and posed victoriously over the book. The side of the book lifted quite suddenly and threw Vaati face first into the dusty ground. When Vaati dusted himself off he looked back and saw the book had closed itself. "HOW DARE YOU!" Vaati Began trying to pry open the cover but the book was unrelenting. Giving up Vaati crossed his arms and stomped his foot. He looked around and realized he didn't quite like being alone as a tiny minish.
The library was only lit by the moonlight that entered the window giving an eerie glow but the night was so clear that he could read the covers on the books he walked by. He paid no mind to the books on the shelves higher than the first level and passed by about one book every five steps he took. Hearing a snorting sound he looked to the side and saw the glint of eyes. THERE WAS A BOOK WITH EYES ON IT'S SPINE! Not only that but it was staring at him. Vaati stared right back at the black book. He noticed that it was strapped into the shelf with leather strings that connected to buckles on the top and bottom of the book. It stared at him for quite some time untill it began trying to struggle out of it's bonds.
Vaati hated this library. He saw the old leather began to stretch and tear. Vaati immediatly ran towards the ladder the old owl had sat on. By the time the book got out (Vaati could hear it plop onto the floor) he had made it a third of the way to his escape route. He hoped this thing couldn't fly or grow apendages that it could climb up with. Vaati heard growls from behind him and somthing slamming into the floor repeatedly. The book was quite fast and he heard it approach quickly. He was almost there and had ran past the book he had been reading earlier but at this rate it would catch him as indicated by the dust that swirled from behind him making it harder to breath. He looked behind and saw that it was about to grab his cape. He grabbed it and dove to the side through corner of the open book that snapped shut behind him narrowly missing being... eaten?
Oh goddesses above loved to punish him. The book took little time to turn and look directly at Vaati who felt like a startled mouse right then. It seemed to have two sets of eyes, one pair on the spine and the other on a lock that seemed to have been used to keep it closed that now dangled in front of Vaati's eyes. What feaked Vaati out the most was that the book had teeth coming out of the cover that twitched at him as if daring him to try that move again. It propelled itself into the air and was heading straight for Vaati.
As it was halfwaf to the minish who was too paralized to move. As he was preparing to die a giant book fell from the shelf above him and landed on the smaller tome pinning it to the ground as it snarled at him while moving its teeth as far out as it could get. When Vaati let out a sigh of releif he went over to inspect the larger book while keeping a great distance from the murder book. Reading the side of the book it said The Wizard that took the sky and wind, and the sun that got them back. Vaati didn't even want to try looking at the book as he didn't want the one thing that is preventing him from being eaten to dislike him. He went back to the latter and climbed to the first step feeling worn out.
His heart was still going so fast but after a few minutes he got it to calm down. He heard a creaking noise and prepared himself for any suprise attacks from any hungry book. To his suprise the floor in front of him oppened and Vaati could see a tiny staircase that had light coming out of it inviting Vaati to explore. He didn't quite feel up to it though so he stayed sitting on the step. The second time that day he was thrown on his face into dust and cursing an animate object AKA the step that flipped him off. Literally and possibly figuratively. Fine if the castle wants him to go he will! He can take on any challenge! The as he made his way towars the stairs the book barked at him and sent Vaati stumbling down a few steps.
He landed on his back with his cape twisted around him and covering his face. He straightened himself out and saw he only fell two stairs before it flattened out. Conspirating castle. He kept descending the lit stairway and when he got down far enough it closed behind him leaving him to only go forwards.
In another place across a long distance there was a great evil that was in the middle howling with rage.
"HOW DARE THE DAMN GODESS DEMEAN ME SO! I, WHO WOULD CRUSH THEM UNDER MY FEET HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THEIR DANM CHOSEN!" He fumed and sent plasts of his power at a nearby tree that got a foot wide hole through it but didn't obliterate as it should have. The godess had found a way to restrict his power without knowing it and Gannondorf had felt he would have been able to conquer the world in an instant had he not been restricted so!
His body was too small to output as much magic as he had before, sadly if he had pushed his limits to cast any tree shattering spells it would have put too much stress on his tiny body. For now he had to find a way to either break his bindings or take over another vessel that could unleash his full potential. The tiny man used his power to push away the dense brush he was walking through and looked up to see a large elegant castle.
Meanwhile in the world hub of the three, two godesses were laughing at the justice the youngest had unleashed against the constant thorn in their side.
"While I commend your initiative at finding how to limit his power we have not yet given Vaati a reason to get rid of him." Said the blue clad godess while Din snorted trying to get her laughter under control. All of a sudden fourteen souls swept past the goddeses followed by another thorn in their side.
"What are you doing here? These worlds are under our juristiction." Said Din as she stood up to her full height reaching for the sword that she still had and stared at the being with the souls floating behind them.
"Conducting an expirament. I'm only messing with the ones that have yet to find any other use so it should be fine right?" Said the being while floating backwards from the tunnel they had entered. Nayru looked at the souls and realized they were of no use to them anymore.
"Fine take them but you owe us a vow then." Said Nayru after the goddesses had nodded to eachother.
"Yeah, yeah I get it." Said the being. Who went off with the souls in tow.
While most of the other gods dedicated their time to creating some didn't have the right mind to do so like the being that had shown themselves. They were like godly parrasites that enjoyed playing around with other's creations. Luckily the creator made it so restrictions could be put on divine beings in the way of unbreakable vows. One of these vows was the reason they couldn't interfere directly in the struggle of Gannondorf unless he came to their domain. This vow had however been given by the three in order to get rid of the parrasite god that had offered much from them.
One life, one more chance to say i'm sorry. And I can't belive the lie. Say you need me.
There's a way back, I surrender.
