^The world is dark and light is precious^
|
There was once a library high in the mountains where scholars from all across the world came to learn and debate. More than just a library, it was a fortress of knowledge and magic.
Theory became practicality and spells were cast, spirits were summoned, potions were mixed. They thought themselves gods- those sorcerers in their retreat. With the wisdom of the world at their disposal, what could stand against them? But there are books never meant to be read, boxes never meant to be opened. In their folly they looked too deep, discovered too much, and it was the doom for every living creature in the place.
Every living creature, that is, except a little tabby cat who survived it all. Like the humans who had come there, he saw too much and it destroyed his mind. Yet he survived when all others fell.
Possessing secrets lost everywhere else on earth somewhere inside his twisted mind, he survived the library alone until Bryght and her companions were led that way to help restore the building. As a healer and scholar, little Neko was a great asset to them, whenever his mind was briefly intact.
He still roams the halls, little more than a shadow of what he once was. But as the great archive is slowly restored, one must ask, will Neko be too?
