Necrovion - House of the Tainted Times' Dark Hall
To be a library, it's dark indeed.
In fact, it's so dark one may wonder how is it even possible to read while inside.
I guess not every book there is meant to be read, some could be mere speculations on things yet to come.
How to explain otherwise the detailed recipes to intoxicate unreleased creatures?
But I digress, let's proceed with order.
In the main hall, the greater part of the shells is occupied by the titanic "Encyclopedia of Necrovion".
Countless books (thousands? hundreds?), finely decorated, about the future history of Necrovion.
Interesting to notice, these books diminish in number, night after night.
As if, whatever happens that was already foreseen caused the destruction of the correspondent volume…
Weird? Well, it certainly is.
It seems this is no place for memory, but a place for things to forget…
Many books fall apart as soon as you touch them, others are created the very instant you walk away.
Some of them have titles, others do not even have a cover.
We have a tiny, but meaningful, child-section, 3 thick notebooks of infant-like drawings.
One of them has a signature on the last page, maybe it's just me but I think it says MARIND (I can't read well in the dark).
We also have a nice selection stolen from the seekers of enlightenment!
153 books, 153 pages each, all of them blinding-blank.
I tried to approach a candle to the paper, but no results.
(Now that I think of it, they didn't smell of lemon juice)
One day I took one away, to expose it to direct sunlight.
As soon as I walked out, the volume turned to dust.
Few days after, the same exact volume was back in its place.
I don't dare to make assumptions.
I'm afraid the whole library could vanish, in case I'm right.
What can't vanish is the imaginary cookie I AM WINNING RIGHT NOW!!!
