Chapter 38: Aelius Library

The trio steps into the magnificent Aelius library, where towering shelves of ancient tomes reach towards a ceiling adorned with celestial motifs. The air is filled with the scent of aged parchment and the quiet hum of whispered knowledge. As they marvel at the vast collection, a sense of anticipation fills the air.

Approaching the help desk, they are greeted by a librarian named Elenora. With a warm smile, she asks, "How may I assist you on this journey of knowledge?"

Kael steps forward and inquires, "Could we have the privilege of meeting Clarion Silverbrook? We seek guidance from her."

Elenora nods and makes a discreet call to someone in the library. After a hushed conversation, she turns to the trio and says, "Clarion will see you. Follow me, please."

As they follow Elenora through the labyrinthine corridors, they arrive at a waiting room bathed in soft, ethereal light. Plush chairs and elegant bookshelves fill the space, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.

The trio settles in, waiting in anticipation. After a few moments, a woman draped in a flowing robe enters the room. The robe is adorned with celestial symbols, shimmering in various shades of silver and blue. Her presence exudes wisdom and grace.

Seated gracefully, she introduces herself as Clarion Silverbrook. "Greetings, seekers of knowledge. I am Clarion Silverbrook, guardian of the library's ancient wisdom. What brings you to this sacred realm?"
