    that looked wildly out of ce to be within Asgard.


    When Ss told me he knew of a ce for us to go, I was expecting something fancy or perhaps something that was more... elegant, marble, and who knows what else. What I wasn''t expecting though was for him to take us to an old brick building with broken windows Pollux, Trixie, and Sansa decided to stay behind and snoop around the school to see if they could find anything that might be useful. With them looking around, no one would suspect them for doing anything, me, however, they would.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Yet, even though they were busy looking for information, I wished they were here with me. I wanted Pollux to see this building, to see how beautiful and strange thend around it was. One thing about my brother that no one knew but me was his love for history-a love for the past because the past makes us stronger.


    The building reminded me of old ruins of castles in a way with its intricate archways and carved designs within the stone. I couldn''t help myself when I passed them to reach out and let my fingers brush against the ancient markings. My mind wandered to who these people must have been because it was far older than anything here now.


    "Where are we?" I asked softly, my eyes turning to Ss, who smiled down at me with amusement. As if he knew a million secrets and wanted to tell me but didn''t know how.


    "This is a structure from another realm, one that we no longer speak of because of the battle thatmenced there thousands of years ago," he replied as he gazed up at the structure running his own hands against the broken rock. "During the battle, they sought to escape and when the portal was opened, it moved the earth they stood on and anything else around."


    "Who is they?" I asked curiously, trying to understand how anyone could be so powerful that they could move all this earth and even structures.


    Ss chuckled though as he nced back at me. "You don''t know any of the stories, do you?"


    I wasn''t sure why he was amused by me not knowing the stories of this ce, and shaking my head, he pushed open therge wooden and brass door before us. The creek of the wood echoed against the silent air around Ss and me. I found myself stepping into a hall of darkness filled with cobbled steps and cobwebs.


    Ss moved forward down the


    cobbled steps further into the darkness, and I hesitated for a moment took a deep breath and forced myself forward. One thing people didn''t know about me was the internal fear I had of darkness. Not that anyone would suspect it-I hid my fears very well.


    "Ss." I called out into the darkness having lost him in my dy as I reached the bottom step. My eyes strained to see through the ck void that filled my vision in front of me. "Ss?"


    "Over here!" The dim lighting of a torching into view as he came around a corner, and once again I was able to see his smiling face. "Come on, what are you doing?"


    What am I doing? Jesus, like I meant to get lost.


    "Nothing, right behind you," I replied, pushing a smile onto my face as I watched him turn, my steps right behind his. There was no way I was going to allow myself to get lost in this ce again.


    After a few minutes of walking, we


    came to another archway that opened up into more darkness. Ss stopped in his tracks and turned to the right, letting the lit me of the torch to touch something on the wall, and as it did a wind blew through the room lighting every torch in sight.


    A gasp left my breath as I took in the sight before me. Bookcases reached high into the ceiling, multiple levels of books as far as the eye could see. Never in my life had I seen something so beautiful, and felt the soft gentle brush of Ss'' hand.


    "Do you like it?" he asked, causing me to turn to him in awe.


    "Like it? Ss, I love it," I said, my voice echoing, "how is this kept like it is? I''m surprised people don''te here every day."


    Shrugging his shoulders, he looked around as if contemting what I had said. "It''s been forgotten, honestly. Not to mention the school exined to the gods it wasn''t a safe ce for students to be. So it went vacant for a thousand years."
