    Book (0), The Prologue To A Thousand Stories


    --- ??? ---


    Books of all shapes, sizes, and colors lay upon the atrium¡¯s gray tile floors, and where they don¡¯t lay on the floor they are carefully placed upon towering black bookshelves with rose vines lovingly carved into them.


    A light shines through the atrium, filling in everything with color despite the fact that there is no visible source for it, and the shadows linger in such a way that the direction they come from cannot be determined.


    Just past this light exists a foggy darkness where anything can linger and lurk, a shifting of shadows stating quite clearly that something is doing just that.


    That something¡¯s eyes stare for but a moment before disappearing.


    ¡°Hello there!¡± A cheery voice greeted, revealing a young dark haired woman that had most certainly not been there just a few seconds prior. ¡°You¡¯re looking a little¡­ lost, is there something I can do to help you?¡±


    The young woman waits for an answer, but none comes forth.


    ¡°Ah, I see¡­ You¡¯re dreaming not Dreaming¡­¡± The young woman frowned, looking a little disappointed, a look that slowly shifted into curiosity. ¡°If you¡¯re not a guest, then I wonder how you wandered into here?¡±This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    Once more there was no answer to the young woman¡¯s question, but this time she was significantly less concerned by this fact.


    ¡°You must really like reading if you made it here¡­ Hmm¡­¡± The young woman crossed her arms and began tapping her head while mumbling, ¡°Thinking¡­ Thinking¡­ Thinking¡­¡±


    The young woman¡¯s eyes suddenly burst open as she grew an excited smile. ¡°Oh! That¡¯s an idea! Hold on just one moment please!¡±


    With that request stated, the young woman ran off, disappearing into the darkness just past the atrium¡¯s lights.


    ¡°Here you are!¡± The young woman called from behind, appearing opposite the direction she¡¯d left via not one second later with a flyer in hand. ¡°I know you can¡¯t really answer me right now because you''re just dreaming, but I figured if you¡¯re here then that means you must really like stories! And well I could really use a bit more help around here¡­ so if you want maybe you could think about working here at the library where you can get as many stories as you want! Maybe, if you want, pretty please?¡±


    The young woman held the flyer out for a moment, the words upon it a jumbled mess, before hitting her knuckles on her head. ¡°Oh right, of course you can¡¯t read the flyer humans can¡¯t read in their dreams¡­¡± She sighed, before mumbling a quiet, ¡°I always forget that¡­¡±


    Not letting this miscalculation get her down, the young woman coughed into her hand. ¡°Alright, well since I can¡¯t really hand this to you now, I¡¯ll send it to you! The library¡¯s delivery boy, is the goodest boi in all of the Black Briar!¡±


    The young woman gave an embarrassed look. ¡°I just, uh, need to figure out who you are first¡­¡±
