Kiara's POV
"I believe you can do your own research."
And just like that—He was gone.
No footsteps.No dramatic fade.
Just—Gone. Poof!!!
"…of course," I muttered, looking around. "Because why would you stay and explain things like a normal person?But this place…"I turned around trying to take in everything."Damn!"
My voice was thrown back at me. It was so huge the slightest sound echoed.
I turned slowly, taking it all in again.
Shelves.
Endless shelves.
Glass cases.
Artifacts that looked like they had seen wars I didn't even know existed.
"…okay," I whispered, a slow grin creeping onto my face despite everything. "If this is your idea of dumping me somewhere—bad move, fairy boy…I love books…I love stories…"
Because oh.
Oh, I was absolutely going to snoop… and not just for the answers I wanted…
I stepped forward, almost cautiously at first—
Then not so much.
The first thing that caught my eye was a pedestal near the entrance.A dagger.Slim.Curved.
