Chapter 104: In The Arms Of a Stranger
Many Centuries Ago
"Listen to me, my successor" Basker began staring down at the boy who would one day take over his place and be the next foundation for the future. A bargain this boy was... because of his father, but now he was the very fate that would tie this place together for eternity.
"This forest that surrounds the Holy Library is as old as this place, they came together into existence and it must be treated with respect. This forest is known as the Elven Woods"
"The Elven Woods?"
Basker nodded his root head. "This forest was created by the Elven tribe you see," he cleared his throat. "The Knowledge of the Elven tribe is forbidden and under no circumstance should it be released to the world, it should be kept in the Northern wing, am I clear?
"Yes Master" and then there was a pause from little William. "Do the elves still exist?"
Basker never answered young William’s question and he never got to know if they exist or not. But instead, he got a warning...
"Do not collide with the Elves" were his last words that day and nothing further was said after that.
☆☆☆
William never got his answer from Basker, if the Elven tribe still existed or not, it was all a whole different mystery altogether, knowledge about the elves was considered forbidden, they were too ancient, too ancient for the world that even a faintest attribute was considered sacred.
But this right now... this was enough proof of a question he never got the answer to until now.
