Upon the girl’s offering, Echo held out her hands for the novel, excitement from being so close to reading a story that interested her so much sparking within her. This excitement was quickly interrupted, however, because right at the moment Echo was about to thank the girl, the bookshelf behind her shook, violently, small roars emitting from the books lined in its shelves.

     A book fell off the bookshelf and landed on the floor, open. Its pages crumpled by themselves, tearing and ripping. And then… A dragon, small and the color of a rose, flew out of it. Echo could only watch in shock and disbelief, and also annoyance because the unexplained happening was delaying something very important.

     That wasn’t all, though. Because seconds after the rose red dragon was born, the bookshelf exploded, and thousands of dragons were being released into the air.

Kuro smiled at the girl's unrestrained excitement as she held out the book. When Echo paused she blinks strangely seeing the girl look behind her and what a strange sound ..was coming from the bookshelf...

Image

Kuro was surprised and nearly leapt at Echo, it was so sudden the unraveling of the pages! Where and what exactly was happening? S-She should not b-be surprised right?... a-after all she wasn't new to magic but this was just bizarre, an incredible sight as many paper dragons were unraveling themselves coming off the shelves...! Thousands of them.. were launching themsleves into the air. She drops the novel in fear it would also sprout another. "W-Wha??... W-What i-is going on?!" She looked at the blue haired next to her absolutely baffled and confused just as much as her.

Like usual Kuro had her head inside the library, she’d come down almost everyday when she was free and this one was no different. Today she was invested in this small novel about a fireworks maker and quietly flipped through the book with each page bringing thrilling words to the next. She took her time, enjoying the flowing images in her mind. It was strange, she thought she heard someone in the library shuffling through paper, seemingly close by but she paid no attention to it. No one was usually in the library except herself, so of course she was surprised when she looked over her book and found a girl in blue staring at her nonchalantly. “E-Eeeek??!!… *she jumps backwards for a moment in surprise hitting her head on the shelf*  O-Ow… !…Um.. m-may I help you? W-Who a-are you?..”

     Cooly gazing at the girl who had just jumped back far enough to bump her head against a bookshelf, Echo pointed a finger to the novel the girl was clutching in her hands. Before letting any words out, though, Echo aimed her eyes at a book on a shelf — she thought she had caught it shaking in the corner of her eye. But the book was still, showing no signs of movement. And so, Echo e icopnturned her head back to the girl.

     ”Echo was waiting for you to finish that book.”

Image

The girl's indifferent expression certainly caused Kuro to become curious as she stared at her back. The girl with the shoulder length blue hair's gaze seemed to move towards the bookshelves but when Kuro followed it she didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Turning back to her she speaks nervously. "E-Echo? I-Is that your name..? w-well it's nice to meet you Echo!... I-I'm sorry nobody is usually in here s-so I always take my time..." She places a bookmark between the page she was reading. "I-If you would like you can feel free to read it first." She smiles at the girl.

     Echo had not been expecting to be sitting in the library for so long, but once she saw that book, its cover depicting fantastic fireworks bursting in the air and a title promising the story of a fireworks maker, she was determined to read it. Unfortunately, the book was in another girl’s hands, and the amount of time it took for her to get through a page was rather long. 

     And so there Echo was, sitting across from the girl, waiting patiently for her to finish, in a humongous library, a library that oddly only had one copy of each novel and seemed to be completely empty other than the girl and her… Echo also thought she heard small sounds coming from the books on the shelves, but that was impossible.

*she’s sat down and curled up, just on the other side of the door, most likely she didn’t feel like moving any further* *she flinches and looks back at the door when you knock before returning to the same position* Damn it…

Yeah… Do you need something?…… Can you come back later? Now is… not a good time…

*huffs* I don’t really care if you believe it or not… Of course not… But I’m still not going to let you…

You don’t think so…? Hmm. We’ll find out either way, I’m sure. There are so many things I want to know now… *puts her hand in her pocket* *and why the hell did she give me this before she pulled that anyway?!* ….This is such a pain. *sighs* I’ll be fine! I’m sure you have other things you want to do, right? … Oi, oi! Don’t look at me like that! I told you, I’m fine.

…….. Damn it. Yes, that is so! Oh… It did? W-Why am I not surprised… Well, you should. I know you can protect yourself. But it would be better if it didn’t get that far anyway. *nods* Alright. I want to know more about it. So, that would be helpful. … Whaa? Why not? …. I guess. It depends on how much she fights back. Heh. *smirks* Of course.

Huh, I guess so. Never really thought too much about them, they are just useful in battle. Sure. *looks back at you* That’s good then. I hope it comes in useful. U-Um… Alright. That’s good. I’m glad you like it. … *shakes her head* You’re wroooong there. Good, good. I… I don’t need anyone to keep an eye on me. I swear… No one should be keeping an eye on me. *sighs again and pats your head*

♪|{ Fine. *pouts* If that's what mommy thinks, but it'll happen... eveeentually!~No.. *her face is one of suspicion* It's nothing at all.. Just feeling something is missing here in this... well story, but it's probably nothing!~ I'm sure you will figure it out soon!~I'll just need to think of a long amount of questions when you do find her!~ *notices the small movement yet she doesn't ask about it* Not exactly... unless mommy wants me to continue researching on that place right? I could do that. And w-what? *blinks in surprise* I-I'm a-always like this!! Y-You'd better be!...

*she merely laughs* Oh really?~ Alright whatever you say mother~ ! W-Well..it's normal. *sweating nervously* but I dont' believe you would hurt me like that, so I'm fine.*gives a smile* You should trust me.I'll try my best and as usual I'll report back to you if I find anything. Yes.. t-that's what I ean *she squeaks* If you hurt her too much you'd know she wouldn't have the strength to talk right?... so she'd be of no use later.

I think they're pretty!! *eyes light up* Mommy really? I'm sure they are useful for battle but I think something pretty is incredible for being dangerous. I'm sure it will if it'sa gift from mommy!!~ *beams* You do need someone to check and either I check on you or I'll mak zai check on you!~}|♪

… Tch. I can… Don’t underestimate me there… … Oi… Like I would let you do that… Reasons, sure… …. “certain circumstances”? Hah. She was so harsh. How rude of her… Oh well… I’ll find out either way, I’ll make sure of that… *sighs* I’m not going to hurt myself… So, you can leave…

image

Sure… Ah- I never said I was worried about that…! Mmmph… Yeah… Hopefully. ………. Mmmmm…. *grabs onto your hands* I swear, one day you’ll hit yourself doing that… Or someone else… You don’t? Why the hell not? No matter how much I think about it, I still don’t know how the hell it- Meh… *stares* Don’t be so foolish. I have done so before, ya know? It’s better for you to leave during times like that. It does? Hmmm… Then, maybe you could look into it for me? If it reminds you of something then it might be worth a try… Oh~ I can find her myself. Ah you do? You can ask them when I drag her back here in chains then. Um… Sure you are…. Sure.

Yeah. I think so. *shrugs* That’s alright… One second… *takes her hands off yours and creates one of her crystals, however, it’s in the shape of a flower* Here. It’s only fair… *hands it to you* Might be nice in a fight as well~. A-Ah… You will? … Your way of thinking is always nice… Yeah. Heh. Maybe it is… G-Gah… *moves back a bit before moving forward and grabbing your hands again* I hope so as well. You being ill would be a paaaaaain.

♪|{ Nope!! *she dances around* Sorry I can’t believe that!~ Oh are you underestimating me now? *laughs* You know what I’m capable of! …It doesn’t add up like the sides of an equation or a balance.. it doesn’t fit at all… somehow so that’s what I think though..! *plays with her hands and tries to stray away from the topic*A-Ah leave a-already? b-but… *continues to look worried* You sure you will be okay?

Oh?~ *her smile is sly* is that so?~ A-Ack?! *she’s confused as her arms are grabbed* It happened a few times already.. *she says nervously* and oops! *stares at you* No.. I don’t..! It’s not as bad as mommy makes it seem, and I’m okay. I can protect myself, just trust me on that and let me stay by your side during those times then okay? I-I guess I can try…!! I read it somewhere I really just need to find that section again… and d-do m-me a f-favor b-but don’t hurt her.. s-she won’t be useful that way… t-that’s w-what I-I mean!!I’m relaxed..

*stares at the crystal blinking* It’s so pretty.. it makes such a nice colour too…E-EHH??!! f-for me?!…*she carefully takes it from your hands cautiously glancing at you*I-it'd be good in a fight ... y-you're right!! I-I'll take good care of it!! *her eyes sparkle and she seems shy* Thank you mommy!! It's so nice!! and mommy's  gift will always be treasured!!~ *she seems  to want to hug you but her hands are carefully carrying the crystal* Mommy is nicer though *she protests* Don't worry I won't be ill, if I was ill who else could keep an eye on you? *laughs*}|♪

I’m not… I can keep going, really. …  Right. Sure, admire what? You must be joking. … I see… I hope you’re right about that, honestly. … Earn, and then… You lose it, just like that knight did. Oh well… No, I don’t think that. But you could die… Who knows? Tch. It’s annoying, really. Don’t be upset, I do trust you… It’s just sometimes things can’t be helped. You don’t have to fake happiness around me. Mmmmm. *sighs* I guess….? I didn’t expect it… But it’s true. … Oi, oi. Calm down.  …. Good. It’s best right now until we work this out. …. Hmmm.

… No. It’s alright… … Another reason… Maaaaybe. We’ll have to see… Still… … You don’t think so? What about what happened before? I still don’t know what that was about… I might be…. A-Anyway, as I said, we’ll find out… *shakes her head* No. It was broken, and mostly empty… It was space but… Different… Read about it? You might have… How can I let it go? I want answers… Why the hell didn’t I lock her up when I was going to…. *groans* Damn it. Later… Right… I guess… *stares* Are you sure? Fine, then… I guess. Ah- What the- You really need to relax…

*sigh of relief* Okay. Any flowers are better than those… Sure, I like them… ….. Heh. It’s nice, to see you looking so happy, ya know? ….. Don’t be silly… *nods* …. U-Um… Are you alright? Ah- Um…

♪|{Tut tut!! No one can keep going and if mommy keeps I’m going to make her sit in a chair for a time out!! *she huffs in exasperation* I-I’m not joking!! R-Really!! Yepp!! It’s true!~  W-Well.. I’m sure there are reasons for betrayal… sometimes that happens but it’s because of certain circumstances.. not because of choice… *she thinks it through thoughtfully before crossing her arms* Do you think I could leave you alone without you hurting yourself or something?~ A-Ah?! I-I’m not faking!! If mommy is worried about hurting my feelings I am 100% okay!~*her eyes light up with a smile* Yepp mommy will figure things out I am sure!~

Okay..! T-That’s what I th-think! You don’t need to take my opinions!! *She waves her hands around frantically* Ah? .. well I don't think that counts *she merely shrugs* It's not as bad as mommy makes it seem because I knew you wouldn't really hurt me anyways!~ Broken... mm... I see. *she bites her lip* reminds me of something it’s on the tip of my tongue but… *sighs* I can’t remember right now…Perhaps set someone out to find her later? Then you can interrogate her all you want, but I have some questions too... Good!~ e-eep?! I-I'm always relaxed y-yes!! *jumps*

*giggles* You think so?~ but they don't last long ah. Yaaay!! I'm so happy I'll make more sometime!!I think it's a lot better when people smile, Happiness is contagious!~  Y-Yes!! *she continues flapping her arms around* I h-hope I’m n-not sick medicine is g-gross you know!! }|♪

E-Erm… i-is something wrong? *she looks quite nervous*… c-clear?! e-eh?!…. I-I suppose.. Is that supposed to mean something?… *she looks absolutely confused* I see…*pauses for a moment* Well.. it’s  a difficult story and one I’d rather not talk about… but you know barians as humans die and then reincarnate right?… it’s the same for me except I’m not a barian…I guess I just got resurrected as an astral… I wasn’t raised by mommy either after I was saved…, I was raised by the other queen..Sakura sama…

She stiffens for a moment at the words ‘Astral’ and ‘Sakura-sama’, before turning back to Kuro.

"It’s nothing…" she muttered, "I would tell you more about myself but," her voice turned bitter, "I can’t remember much. Except being betrayed by the one person I called family." 

Oh… *she notices the strange reaction and looks a bit uncomfortable and anxious now* W-well… don’t think of m-me l-like an a-astral I a-am still human!~ erm… could it be that you don’t like Sakura-sama either?… Forget what I mentioned..!! {Although I probably can’t say I’m surprised… since these kingdoms are enemies after all} Eh? ... y-you were betrayed by.. your family?.. but tha'ts not right.. a family member should never a-abandon... *her voice falters and she seems to makes a very blank expression*

That’s a hard thing, I do, but at the same time, I know you could leave me at any second… … She did. *stares at you* Having a hard time believing me, huh? … Mmmm. Are you sure about that? You never know… And… there are so many things I’m confused about right now. How annoying this all is. … *looks away* She has betrayed us, so, stay the hell away from her…! Damn it… She knows something I think. No, I’m sure of it. And she is hiding it. Ah- *flinches* um, sorry… Just don’t get too close. Fine, fine… It’s not like you’ll leave either way… Honestly…

……. I didn’t want to share all this… But you seem to want more answers so… *rubs her head* Strange indeed…. It was different, so different. It might be a lie, I didn’t think she would lie to us until recently… I hope it’s a lie, if not, I guess I’m getting worse. … Even if I hurt you? Think about yourself… Please… I don’t know, that place hurt. She said something about me not having information on it anymore either. She must know where we were…. Maybe I should try locking her up after all… … *goes quiet for a bit, most likely lost in thought* … Hmmm? !!! N-Nothing. … What about you? You seem distracted yourself. … I’m glad.

R-Right, I do, they are nice… They aren’t those plants though, a-are they…? Hmmm. *leans back* Not that I can think of? It’s not something I’ve been interested in… Yeah… They are fine, actually… Thanks. … Oi, oi…! What are you- *huffs* *tries to pull away* Nice? Me? Are you ill, or something? …. You’re really too soft. Still.
