Chapter 129: Do Not Hate Me
The images went on and there was nothing as William explained, about Basker saying those words or even a scene he doesn’t remember.
Everything here was what William knows
There were no answers to his memories being taken. Instead, I got a whole glimpse of William’s entire life here in this orb. Flashing through my eyes like a never-ending image, everything about him... his times in the library, reading, cataloging, learning from Basker, at the earliest he was the only one in the library... Basker was mostly asleep in his form and William was left alone most of the time.
I finally caught a glimpse of Basker and what he looked like... indeed he is an avatar of this place, he doesn’t have a physical body but instead, he appeared to William in the form of a root face, mostly in the top of the fireplace or on walls, it was bit scary but that was what he is... he was the extension of the very library, HE is the library himself before William took over
And then the image moved to a scene in the garden and I watched as William placed a kiss on a butterfly and then it transformed into a girl.

Another scene of a brown lion raiding the library... William looked to be a teenager there, how the lion stopped in its tracks and overcame by fear when he set his eyes on him, something being said but it was inaudible, the lion going into a submissive position and then placing his head on William’s palm, it transformed into a boy his age.

Another play of a little fox William found in the garden of the Library, curled up and lost and I smiled knowing without a doubt that it was Sophia because of the fur.
Everyone found their way to William in some way or the other, and it was truly interesting to watch. To watch William grow into the man he is, watch him working each day in the library and the three tending to him.
A scene played of William in the library and Sophia sitting on his lap as he showed her something and she was trying her hardest to listen.
