The library seemed as good a place as any to start a search for separating people. There had to be books about magic or witchcraft or science that could explain how to separate Ethan from Erela. I wondered which side it would be. Science or magical.
"Can you lead the way to the library?" I asked Erela. "I've only been there once when I first got here, but it's been awhile." While we had first met in the garden outside the library, I still thought of the library and the talk of roses we shared as our first real meeting.
"Of course. Follow me," Erela nodded and started for the door, holding the door open for me. She then led me down a series of hallways before we came up to the library.
Staring at the mountain of books scattered around the room neatly, I wondered where we'd even be able to start. There had to be hundreds of different topics in this one room. How would we narrow the search down? The task was already daunting, and we hadn't even started it.
"So any idea where we're even supposed to start?" I asked Erela as I started for one bookcase to see what books were offered. These books seemed to be about American history.
Motioning me to follow her, Erela headed down an aisle and stopped at a corner shelf in the back of the library. These books looked severely old. "These are some of the oldest books in the library, so please be careful with them," she cautioned. "These are the ones I found to be most enlightening, but so far I haven't found anything to split Ethan and I."
"Do you know your origin story? Like how this happened to you two? Maybe if you can give me any sort of details that you can remember that would help us," It was a shot in the dark, but it was the best shot I could think of at the moment.
