“So Wyatt, when will it be convenient for you to meet up with the Librarian?” Dredre asked Wyatt as mentioned in the reply from the Librarian himself in response to Wyatt’s appeal.
“I am free now,” Wyatt answered hoping to resolve the problem with his Infinity Library membership card as soon as possible.
“Fine, I will inform the Librarian,” Dredre said. She appeared to be very excited to be able to exchange direct text with her boss himself.
Many tribes of pixies were serving the Librarian, each tribe had a population of more than a hundred thousand, so except for the tribe chief, most of the pixies would complete their lifespan without seeing the face of the Librarian that they were serving. So it was obvious why Dredre who had the opportunity to chat with the Boss was so giddy and enthusiastic. So much so that it even made Wyatt feel a little neglected as her client when she waited for the reply of the Librarian with a one-track mind without sparing attention to anything else. Wyatt shook his head feeling happy for her.
“I got a reply,” Dredre exclaimed as soon as the Librarian responded. Then she patiently read the whole reply thrice making sure she did not omit or miss any of his instructions and with great enthusiasm, she informed Wyatt, “The Librarian asked me to bring you to him.”
Wyatt felt if the pitch of Dredre’s voice were any higher then she would shatter all the glass in her surroundings. If she was excited to just exchange a few texts with the Librarian, now she was blown out of her mind knowing that she would be able to meet the Librarian in person. Knowing all this was only possible because of Wyatt, Dredre hovered closer to him and then kissed his cheek, “Thank you, Wyatt.”
Wyatt was surprised at how little it took for Dredre to get happy. Was this because of her life in imprisonment? Not really, Pixies have strong elemental power but they are still preys and have many predators. So they never leave their territory. Their entire race was basically an example of a shut-in. So their life in the Library was not any different. Except for the change of habitat and their day-to-day job, nothing much has changed for them. Now they are able to eat their fill every day without worrying about predator breaking into their territory. If I were to say, the pixies were modernized. From surviving on dew and nectar now they had everything with more food and life security. In that way, the Librarian was developing them rather than enslaving them.
“Ready!” Dredre asked as she used the new authority she gained to use her connection with the library array formation and access the restricted section of the Library to teleport Wyatt and herself there.
Soon Wyatt found his surroundings distorted and he found himself in a grassland devoid of any trees but the weather was pleasant and cool so the absence of their shade was not missed. Looking around Wyatt wondered if they were still in the library inside the mall. Then finding no one in the surroundings Wyatt asked Dredre, “Are you sure you teleported us to the right location? There is nobody here.”
For miles, only grassland could be seen stretching meeting with the sky on the horizon. Dredre also scanned the surroundings, unable to find a single soul part from her and Wyatt she said, “This is where the Librarian asked me to bring you.”
In a panic, Dredre went through the librarian’s instructions again. And confirmed that she had come to the specified location.
“Let us wait. The Librarian is a busy person,” I said seeing the pixie that was supposed to be guiding me lose it under the pressure of being able to meet her boss soon. However, I myself was not happy with the Librarian. He asked me to hurry but he did not show up yet. If he were busy then he should have arranged the meeting for some other time.
“It’s surprising to see a demon merchant care for a pixie, you really are different from the others,” A voice suddenly sounded in the grassland. Neither Wyatt nor Dredre were able to pinpoint the source of the voice and which direction it came from.
Wyatt activated his soul pupils but found nothing, feeling that the Librarian must have planned this when he asked them to meet here. Not that he knew about Wyatt’s Soul pupils but he planned to use this location to appear mysterious as a power move. I did not know what need the Librarian would have to attempt something so childish.
By the actions of the Librarian so far Wyatt came to the assumption that he was not invited by the Librarian, but by some who were given the authority of that Librarian. Was it the librarian stand-in or something of that sort? Wyatt made this assumption because any being who loved books would have substance to them and would not resort to such tactics.
While Wyatt felt that it was a waste of time, Dredre looked around the vast grassland and introduced herself to the voice in the most respectful way she could think of, “Your Highness, Librarian, I am Book Guide Pixie Dredre of the Forest Guide Tribe.”
“Dredre tell me little about your client,” the voice spoke again.
“Wyatt is my friend, he is nice to me, and he likes to read a lot of books,” Dredre’s answer was short but it summarized my entire interaction with Dredre.
“A pixie and a demon merchant, who are friends. Times do change, or is it because you are a human?” the voice said as if the friendship between Dredre and Wyatt was unnatural.
Wyatt chose to remain silent until the voice specifically addressed him, as he was already certain that the person he was speaking to was not the real Librarian but a stand-in filling the role of the librarian.
