Chapter 6

(Audrey) wow that's a big library i thought you were kidding when you shed that there were hundreds of thousands of books Nuala

(Nuala) just wait until you see the inside it's a lot bigger on the inside

(Audrey) (as soon as she steps inside she takes one look and is in shock do to the site of all those books) i think that there are a lot more books than a few thousand

(Nuala) well they stopped counting at 32000 books

(Audrey) your kidding me right (there is no way that there are that many books)

(???) and i would appreciate it if you didn't damage any of them

(Audrey) where did that voice come from? (and then from behind the bookshelves came a dark figure as it got closer i could see it much better but the body belonging to that voice looked like that made me speech less)

(Nuala) what's wrong Audrey you act like you've never seen a sphinx before?

(Audrey) well it just unusual that's all (more like impossible it's a mythical creature it's not supposed existe)

(Nuala) if you say so well i guess i should introduce her to you this is Claire as you can guess she is responsible for this library as long as you obey the rules you should be fine

(Audrey) rules what are the rules exactly? (i have an ominous feeling about this)

(Claire) ok i will tell you the rules rule 1 no eating in the library rule 2 do not make loud noises rule 3 throw the trash away and do not leave it lying around rule 4 do not damage the books or it will be you head and that all the rules

(Audrey) … (this may just be the most dangerous library i have ever been to!!)

(Nuala) i know the last one is strange but same of the books here are really rare and valuable same are not even aloud to leave the library

(Audrey) ... oh is ...that so then what happens if someone takes one of the books that are not allowed to leave the library with them?

(Claire) (suspicious of Audrey) hopefully you're not thinking of doing that(angry tone) are you?

(Audrey) NO!! of course i'm not i was just curious about what would happen

(Nuala) (whispers in Adreys ear) she is not allowed to leave as well so she can't got out to eat and you can figure out the rest yourself

(Audrey) (whispers back) you mean she eats those people?

(Claire) (gives Audrey a menacing look)

(Nuala) in any case Claire is the book i asked for ready?

(Claire) yes it was magic for retarded right?

(Nuala) that's the one

(Audrey) hey Nuala that's not funny

(Nuala) i know the title of the book is not that great but it's one of the only books one can buy here and it has all the basics of magic so it's good for a novice like you

(Audrey) same how i feel more insulted by being called a novice then by the title of the book

(Nuala) well let's meat up with Ethan&Naumys they should still be at the central gardens and i know you're curious what they are doing right now

(Audrey) i am curious as to what Naumys did to Ethan

(meanwhile in the central gardens)

(Ethan) wow this place looks amazing it's so beautiful with all the flowers and smell is awesome too

(Naumys) yes the smell amazing (darlings  tail is wagging so cute) we can sit in the shadow of that tree over there

(Ethan) good idea let's do that

(Naumys) darling can i ask you same thing?

(Ethan) sure ask away

(Naumys) i'd like to know what you think of me?

(Ethan) what i think of you? well i think your a beautiful and strong woman it's like you have the best of those two things and on top of that you have a great personality ... (did i just think that out loud)

(Naumys) … (i knew it he likes me and now the next question) darling will you mar …

(Nuala) okay that's enough Naumys you had your fun

(Naumys) … killjoy

(Ethan) what is wrong she was just asking me a few questions

(Nuala) that tree lets someone know how they're loved one feels about them as long as they sit in its shadow together the loved one will answer any question with only the truth

(Ethan) (get out of the shadow and looks at Naumys) you could have just asked me that normally Naumys

(Naumys) i know and i'm sorry but i wanted to know the truth

(Ethan) if that's all then it's ok by the way what did you want to ask me when Nuala interrupted?

(Naumys) (turns red) …nothing …much

(Nuala) she wanted to ask you if you would marry her if she would ask you to

(Naumys) (shocked) Nuala how could you!!!

(Ethan)… (passed out from the shock)

(Naumys) ahh darling are you ok what's wrong

(Audrey) it's ok he just can't handle a sudden shock like that it's why we never have a surprise birthday party on his birthday

(Nuala) your kidding me he can't handle surprises

(Audrey) oh no he just can't handle unexpected surprises like this one just now the last time this happened to him i draw doodles on his face and …

(Naumys) (looks at her and reaches for a stunning potion in her bag) hmmm

(Nuala) let's take him back to the inn

(Back at the inn)

(Lyaesel) what happened to him he's passed out

(Nuala) Naumys took him to the tree of truth and shocked him with one of her questions

(Lyaesel) what question would shock him this much?

(Audrey) apparently a marriage proposal from Naumys

(Lyaesel) Naumys is this true?

(Naumys) (in shy voice) … yes

(Nuala) but before she could get an answer the idiot passed out

(Lyaesel) i see well take him to your room for now

(Audrey) i think this is a bit strange that she asks him same thing like that though

(Lyaesel) really why is that?

(Audrey) well were we come from the man normally asks that question to a woman

(Lyaesel) really here it is rare for a man to ask that

(Audrey) your kidding

(Lyaesel) yes i am it's actually common here

(in Ethan & Naumys room)

(Naumys) (sits next to Ethan on the bed) i wonder what his answer is and if he hates me for asking him it like this (holds his hand softly) but i'm happy that he likes me (lays down next to him) i really do love you
