</div>Elora sat on her nest, the great number of cushions being much too large for her in her human form. Most of the area had been covered with books she had read or was reading, anyway. She often found herself passing the time in human form; she had learned early on that it was difficult to read and manipulate book pages when a single claw was larger than the books you wanted to read.<br/><br/>Her current read was an account of a war taking place in a world with three different colored moons. In their world, dragons were legendary and the people weren’t sure of their existence. It was interesting. Sometimes she wasn’t sure if she existed, all things considered. No one had found the library in at least a century. Or was it two? It was hard to keep track of time in such a timeless place.<br/><br/>A prickling in the back of her mind drew her attention from the book. She looked up, focusing on the feeling. The library had been found again.<br/><br/>As she set the book aside gently, she could sense footsteps on the white marble steps outside the entrance. Scrambling out of her nest, she transformed herself with a thought back to her natural form, leaping from the room and taking to the air above the rows of books below her, landing on the second floor balcony facing the entrance.<br/><br/>She eyed the great double doors expectantly. Would the doors open this time? If they did, would it be a person of good intent, or another bent on the Library’s destruction? Or her own destruction? There had been some, over the years, but none were a match against her.<br/><br/>Elora mantled her great silver wings and sat upright to her full height, waiting. If the doors didn’t open, and the person went away, she’d go back to reading about the world with the three moons.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="757" data-username="@Laz" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/757/">@Laz</a>
