"Okay, Wander," Sylvia said, holding up her hands. "We have to find this library, it may be the only way to stop Dominator. The wizard didn't help much. He was kinda...well, I don't want to talk about him."

"I thought he was fun," Wander said, lying on his back, looking at the passing stars.

"Wander, you didn't even meet with the guy," Sylvia replied. "You just looked at those little creature things."

"Which we sent to a better part of the galaxy where they aren't trapped and free to explore!" Wander cheered, rolling over and sitting down on Sylvia's back.

"Yes," Sylvia said. "Using the only option we had, but they are safe."

"Hey, it was your idea, Sylvia," Wander replied, winking.

"Yeah, yeah, don't rub it in," Sylvia teased. "Anyway, since we're down to our last couple of options, we can take this route to the Secret Library of Legends."

"Ooh! A library!" Wander cheered.

"Yes, a library, Wander," Sylvia replied. "But it's not just any library. The Library of Legends-"

"Is only THE best library in the entire galaxy! With hidden, rare books, fantasy stories that actually play like a movie in your head when you read it, secret spells, hidden artifacts, and, my personal favorite, books!"

"Oh, you-you actually know about this one, Wander?" Sylvia asked, surprised.

"Of course I do, Sylvia!" Wander replied. "How could I not know about a library? I love libraries! All the books you can read, like fantasy, sci-fi, romance, comedies!"

"I underestimated you there, Wander, I'm impressed!" Sylvia replied. "But remember, we're not here to play around in it, we actually have some serious business inside."

"Yes, ma'am!" Wander replied, saluting and puffing out his chest.

"Atta boy," Sylvia said. "What are we looking for?"

"A-" Wander put his hand up confidently, then dropped it, "I uh, actually don't know, Sylvia. I guess I got too excited and forgot the rest of it."

"We're looking for a way to stop Dominator inside the library," Sylvia repeated. "But this library only opens for full forty eight hours once the blue moon rises. So, we have to be quick and efficient. If we take anything, and I mean anything, then we'll be trapped inside forever, or until the library collapses. Either way, we're doomed. So don't take anything. Leave everything at the shelves. Got it, Wander?"

"Yes, ma'am!" Wander repeated, copying the same actions from before.

"Great, we're almost at the library," Sylvia said. She walked onto the planet, the bubble around them popping, and looked around. Everything on the planet is dead. The trees, the flowers, the grass, and there is no sign of water, or life, anywhere. Outside the library are an assortment of skeletons, varying in different types of aliens and people living in the galaxy. One is still wearing a hat, while another has a set of horns. "Whoa, this place is creepy," Sylvia said.

"A little," Wander said. "Where's all the flowers, or the trees, or...maybe even the birds? You can't have a library without birds and trees! You can't even see the sky!" Wander pointed up. Sure enough, the sky is covered with dark gray and black storm clouds. There is very little wind, and whatever they feel from it gets them a cold chill down their spine. "Maybe we should turn back," Wander suggested, pulling Sylvia's reigns closer. "I think this is the wrong planet. You can't see a moon through those clouds anyway."

"We have to get inside, Wander. We have to wait and see if the moon shows up," Sylvia said.

"Okay, but I'm not leaving your saddle," Wander replied, hiding behind her reigns the best he could. Sylvia walked ahead a little until she stopped in front of a large rock face, blocking her path. There is no way up or around it. "Well, I guess it's a dead end," Sylvia said, putting her hands on her hips and looking up.

"A dead end?" Wander cried. "It-it can't be a dead end!"

"Sorry, buddy," Sylvia said. "Looks like we wait it out."

"We can't wait here!" Wander cried. "It's so scary and...sad!"

"Sorry, buddy, we have no other options," Sylvia said. She sat down on the ground, Wander sliding off her back, his hands attached to Sylvia's reigns. He dropped them, then picked up her tail, pulling that up to his face to hide behind. Sylvia sat patiently, while Wander stayed hidden behind her tail, until the clouds began to part and a deep blue light peeked through.

"Wander! Look!" Sylvia called, pointing at the blue light. "The moon!" Wander put Sylvia's tail down enough for him to see over it and looked up at the sky. Behind the deep, bright, blue light, is a large, blue moon. "Ooh," Wander said, in awe. "It's pretty."

"It is," Sylvia agreed.

The blue light slowly lowered into the rock face, starting at the ground, going up Wander and Sylvia, and then onto the top of the wall, at least, as high as Wander and Sylvia could see. The ground shook lightly, then became more profound as the wall began sliding down. Wander and Sylvia jumped out of the way as the wall crumbled and lowered into the ground. It kept lowering until it was a flat surface, where they could easily walk across. The blue light vanished, as clouds reappeared, blocking the blue moon.

"Wander! Look!" Sylvia cheered, pointing ahead. "The library!"

In front of them stands a solid stone door, with a wooden sign that reads 'Library of Legends.' Wander smiled. "We found it!"

Wander and Sylvia grabbed each others hands and began jumping in a circle. "We found it! We found it! We found it!" they cheered. They stopped jumping, Sylvia clearing her throat, then facing forwards, at the door. "Okay, let's go."

Wander followed Sylvia inside the library. The library is full of stone bookshelves, each filled to the capacity with old stone tablets, old parchments, and old, leather bound books. Each book is covered in dust, and each table has a few old strands of spiderwebs and old cobwebs on them. The parchments are yellowed and faded, but still accessible and readable.

"Whoa," Wander whispered. "Sylvia, it's amazing!"

"Why are you whispering?" Sylvia asked in her normal volume.

"Sylvia! How dare you! We're in a library!"

"It's an old library."

"It's still a library!" Wander replied, putting his hands on his hips. Sylvia sighed, then smiled. "Oh, alright, buddy," she whispered.

"Much better!" Wander smiled.

Wander and Sylvia stopped in the center of the main floor. Around them are stone book shelves, ladders to reach the higher sections, and three other floors above them. "This is wonderful!" Wander cheered loudly. "Oop, I mean, this is wonderful!" Wander corrected and whispered.

"Okay, Wander, let's check out the library. We need to find the section of magical artifacts and whatnot to stop Dominator."

"On it!" Wander whispered.

Sylvia went upstairs. Wander stayed downstairs and began looking around the shelves. "Hmm, artifacts...artifacts...artifacts..." He scanned the books and tablets with his finger, pulling off a line of dust with him. "Artifacts...artifacts...artifacts...ooh! Romance!" Wander pulled the book off the shelf and flipped it open.

Scanning the book revealed the story of a wizard and a witch, in a forbidden love with one another. The wizard didn't give up on his witch, even when she turned bad, and used a spell, but it ended up sacrificing them both to the heavens, thereby creating the moon and the stars. "Aww!" Wander cried quietly, closing the book. He put it back on the shelf and wiped his eyes.

"Find anything down there, buddy?" Sylvia whispered loudly, peeking down to the first floor.

"Nope!" Wander replied, waving.

Wander walked behind a shelf as Sylvia walked back in her floor.


"Okay, sir, here we are, the Library of Legends!" Commander Peepers exclaimed. "Isn't it wonderful, sir?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever," Lord Hater replied, crossing his arms and looking at one of the skeletons outside. "Hey, do you think this person-"

"No time, sir!" Peepers interrupted. "We have to get into this library to find something to stop Dominator!"

"I think you mean to make her fall in love with me," Hater said, bending down to Peppers' level.

"Yeah, sure," Peepers replied, rolling his eye. "Remember, sir, don't take anything! If you take it off the shelf, stay NEXT to the shelf. Got it?"

"Uh-huh, yeah," Hater said, walking inside the library. Peppers followed in after him, along with a couple of Watchdogs, who already agreed with Peepers' plan of not taking anything before hand.

The Watchdogs split up once they entered the library. Peepers walked towards the stairs, then turned to face Hater. "Remember, sir, don't take anything! Stay near the shelves!"

"Okay, mom, I heard you," Hater replied, waving his hand. "You don't need to yell."

Peepers rolled his eye again and walked upstairs, into the second floor.


Sylvia put that book back. A one way mirror to a different galaxy. They already tried that. They ended up using it on those small creatures in their orb planet. Okay, next book.

She pulled a tablet off the shelf, dusting it off, along with a few spiderwebs, and began to scan it for information. This one mentions an indestructible ray gun. Unfortunately, they already managed to get it to self-destruct, so that ray gun is out of the question.

The next book mentioned finding true love, which Sylvia assumed was on the wrong shelf. She sighed and put it back. Take nothing. That also includes putting things on the right shelves. She peeked over the side wall again. "Wander? If you find a book on the wrong shelf, leave it, please, we don't want this thing coming down."

"Gotcha, Sylvia," Wander replied, giving her a thumbs-up from the bottom floor.

Sylvia went back to her shelf and began examining again. So many books and tablets, all of them on magical artifacts and knowledge beyond comprehension, but nothing she needs. This book talked about a pineapple's life cycle, which she isn't entirely sure why it's in this library, so she just put it back.

She went to the next shelf and glimpsed a small, shadowy figure shuffle across the ground. Sylvia looked around the corner to see nothing. "Hmm, must've been my imagination," she concluded. She looked back at the shelf, then proceeded to the next one when this one had nothing on ancient artifacts and magical items. She saw the figure again, this time, it stuck a book back on the shelf.

Sylvia, curiosity getting the better of her, walked over to where the figure was standing and pulled a book off the lowest shelf. She stayed low, as to not cause anything to trigger, and dusted off the cover. 'How to Know if Someone Likes You.'

"This library has some strange things in here," Sylvia muttered, sticking the book back on the shelf and standing up again. "Ooh, let's not do that again." She put her hands on her back. "I'm gonna feel that later."


Wander put a book back. Nothing on magical artifacts, but it did explain the love story between a dragon and a princess, fated to be together by the stars. Wander actually saw that happen! He helped a friend get to the princess' tower to save her from the dragon, but it turns out that she and the dragon were in love. Wander thought it was super sweet and romantic.

He smiled at the book. Then he picked up a tablet. He nearly dropped it, recovered, and lifted it back onto the shelf. "Okay, no tablets!" he told himself. "Noooo tablets."

Wander walked past all the stone tablets, then back to the books. He picked up an old parchment and unrolled it. A couple of bugs scurried out from it. Wander put his fist in his mouth as to avoid screaming, then kicked the bugs off his legs. He shuddered, then flapped the parchment around a few times to clean it of dust.

He turned it around and began scanning it. 'A Star Nomad, orange and brave, will one day take the cosmos wave. To turn it into a star, all the cosmos, wide and far. Adorned with a hat of green, will save the world between. To and far, the worlds alike, to take out all the spike. Through trials and his strife, to save the world, and all life.'

"Hmm, interesting," he said, putting it back on the shelf after rolling it back up. He continued along the shelves. "Wander! Wander!" Sylvia whispered, running up to him. "Wander! Lord Hater's here! And his Watchdogs!"

"Lord Hater's here?" Wander asked. "I didn't know he liked libraries!"

"Now's not the time for that, Wander!" Sylvia whispered. "We have to protect the library! You distract him while I look for the artifact to use against Dominator!"

"Okay!" Wander replied, saluting again.

"Thanks, buddy," Sylvia said. "And remember to make sure he doesn't move anything."

Wander nodded and walked off, to the second story, since he never saw anyone on the first. He kept his eyes out for Hater. "Hater!" he cheered when he saw him. "Hater! Buddy!"

"Oh no," Hater grumbled.

"Hater! I didn't know you liked libraries!" Wander cheered, quietly, walking over to Hater.

"I don't," Hater grumbled.

"Then whatcha doing?" Wander asked. "You looking for something?"

"No, I'm here because Peepers dragged me!" Hater cried, rather loudly.

"Hey! Shh!" Wander corrected. "We're in a library!" Hater rolled his eyes. "I don't want to be in this library, but Peepers dragged me in here for some reason."

"Aw, come on, Hater!" Wander cried. "I'm sure there's something you looking for? Perhaps a little-" he pulled a romance book off the shelf, "romantica. For Dominator!" He wiggled the book around in his hand.

"Well, maybe a peek," Hater said. Wander handed him the book, and kept Hater standing while he flipped through the pages. He turned past the first chapter, saw the word kiss, and slammed the book shut. "Cheesy!"

Wander put the book back on the shelf and handed him another. "Cheap!" Hater cried after flipping a few pages. "Disgusting!" Hater cried at the next one. "Cliche!" Hater turned down every book Wander handed him until he got to the last one on the bottom shelf. "How about this one, Hater? Perfect, huh?"

Hater grabbed the book from him and began actually reading it. "Phew!" Wander sighed when Hater stayed. Hater sat on the ground and flipped pages.

Wander leaned over the side and gave Sylvia a thumbs-up. Sylvia sighed of relief, as she pushed the last Watchdog in the corner. "Now, time to take care of Peepers," she said, cracking her knuckles. "Lady? Duchess? You ready for this girls?" She mimicked rolling up sleeves and stomped downstairs.


Peepers had his eye on a tablet he couldn't reach. It sits on the highest shelf, and he believes it's actually the key they need to stop Dominator. "Hmm," Sylvia said, standing next to him. "Ooh!" She pulled the tablet off the shelf and began fake scanning it. "Hey!" Peepers cried. "Hand it over!"

"Unfortunately, I can't. You see, it's too high and if it moves lower, well, then the whole library will come down on us," Sylvia replied. Peepers growled. "Then I'll just get up there myself!"

Peppers started climbing the shelf, each step with precision, as to not fall and knock over the stone shelf. Half of them are attached to the wall. This one is not. He reached for Sylvia's hand, who just turned around with it. "Aw, your little baby arms are too short to reach the tablet?" Sylvia teased.

"Hand it over!" Peepers cried. Sylvia pushed Peeper's hand out of the way, causing him to fall, and placed the tablet back inside the shelf. She didn't put it in all the way. "Come and get it," Sylvia said, smug.

Peepers growled. "Why you..." Sylvia snickered as Peepers shook. He charged her, knocking her to the ground. "Hey, you know," Sylvia said, pushing his hands off her, "you're actually surprisingly strong for your size!"

"I work out!" Peepers replied. They rolled around the ground, fighting each other, Peepers landing a few punches to Sylvia, and ran into the shelf. The tablet Sylvia haphazardly put back fell. "The tablet!" Wander cried, coming downstairs. He jumped to catch it.

The tablet fell next to him and shattered on the ground. "Oops, I over jumped there," Wander admitted.

The ground began to shake, small chunks of stone falling from the ceiling. Sylvia shoved Peepers off of her, who was dizzy from the rolling, and Wander hopped onto her back. "Okay, sorry, buddy, but we're getting out of here."

"What about Hater and his Watchdogs?" Wander asked.

"Wander, there's no-" Wander gave Sylvia the biggest green eyes he could muster. Sylvia bit her clenched fist, then sighed, her tail drooping. "Okay, fine, we'll save them."

"Yippee!" Wander cheered. "Let's go, Sylvia!"

Sylvia and Wander rounded up all the Watchdogs, including a now unconscious Peepers, and threw them outside the door. "Where's Hater?" Sylvia asked.

"I left him upstairs with a romance book," Wander replied. Wander hopped onto Sylvia's back, as she rushed up the stairs to save Hater. Prying the book from Hater's hands failed, so she just grabbed him, the book still in his hands, and ran back downstairs with him.

She threw him outside, then ducked down to slide under the rock wall the began to lower. Wander hugged Sylvia as tight as he could, although his hat fell off in the doorway. "Wander! We made it!" Sylvia cheered.

"I knew we could!" Wander cheered. He pat his head, feeling around for his hat. "My hat! Where's my hat?" Wander turned around to see a green hat in the doorway, halfway in and out. "It's gonna be crushed!" Wander cried.

He ran towards the door and grabbed the brim of the hat, quickly sliding it out before the rock wall closed completely. Sylvia exhaled. "Don't do that, buddy," she moaned. "I thought you were gonna loose your arm."

"I'm okay, Sylvia!" Wander cheered. "And so is Hater, his Watchdogs, you, and my hat!" He pulled his banjo out of his hat and put the hat back on his head, a smile on the brim. Wander pulled out his banjo and strummed a few chords before there came a small clacking behind them.

"Uh, Wander?" Sylvia asked.

"What?" Wander asked. He slowly turned around behind him, following Sylvia's finger, and saw the same skeletons from before rising. "Uh...Sylvia? I don't think skeletons are supposed to do that."

"Wander, put the banjo away," Sylvia said, grabbing the pile of unconscious Watchdogs. "We need to get them, and ourselves, out of here!"

Wander shoved his banjo inside his hat and grabbed Hater's foot. He started dragging him along to the best of his ability. "Hater, you mind walking with me?" Wander asked. "Please?" Hater continued reading his book.

Wander dragged Hater along, catching up with Sylvia . "Okay, Wander, Orbal Juice us!" Wander put Hater's foot down and pulled out his Orbal Juice. He waved it in a big circle, covering up the Watchdogs, Sylvia, himself and Hater. Wander kicked one of the skeletons off his foot and walked with Sylvia. Hater circled on the edge of the bubble, while the Watchdogs fell in their pile and reformed new ones.

"Phew!" Sylvia exclaimed. "That was a close one!"

"Really close!" Wander agreed. "But now we're safe!"

"And once we get these guys back to Hater's ship, we're free on the road again," Sylvia smiled.

Banjo sat on Sylvia's back and pulled out his banjo. He played the same few chords again, then started his song. "'A Star Nomad, orange and brave, will one day take the cosmos wave. To turn it into a star, all the cosmos, wide and far. Adorned with a hat of green, will save the world between. To and far, the worlds alike, to take out all the spike. Through trials and his strife, to save the world, and all life.'"

"Ooh, where'd you hear that one?" Sylvia asked.

"I saw it in the library," Wander said.

"Oh, yeah, the library-wait," Sylvia said.

"Did you find anything, Syl?" Wander asked.

"Well, I did, or I think I did anyway," Sylvia replied. "I was picking on Peepers but I did see something. I wasn't paying enough attention to actually see what it was."

"Aw, sorry, Syl," Wander said, patting her.

"No, no, it's my fault, I wasn't looking and I was having fun picking on Peepers," Sylvia replied. "I got a good laugh out of it though."

Sylvia explained what she did with Peepers. Wander laughed a few times, then said that was mean, then they both laughed again. Sylvia stopped in front of Hater's ship, put Hater on the same side as his Watchdogs, pushed them hard enough to split the bubble and keep the momentum for them to get close to their ship, then walked off. "Was there a second verse?" Sylvia asked.

"No, but I can make one!" Wander cheered.
