Ethan's POV
Countless men and women, scholars and mages alike roamed the expanse and each one of them was lost in the world of ink and parchment.
Yet, despite their numbers, a deafening silence enveloped the library.
Not a single voice, not even a whisper, disturbed the air. It was unnatural and eerie even for such a massive place to be devoid of sound.
My mind raced with questions. How could a structure that appeared so modest from the outside house something of this scale within? How was this possible?
My mouth parted slightly in awe as I struggled to rationalize what I was seeing. Before I could form a coherent thought, a smooth yet jarring voice shattered the stillness.
