The Earthshine Library

You follow Riddle through the enormous doors that lead into the library. A puff of dust rises from the soft carpet as you walk, and the aroma of vanilla and old paper is overwhelming. Empty shelves stretch from floor to ceiling, and the room is filled with an air of neglect. Riddle leads you to a reading nook next to the window where a couch is piled high with blankets and pillows, and you’re encouraged to see that a few potted plants are still flourishing.

As Riddle hops onto the couch, you notice that there is a book wedged in between the cushions. You pull it free and realize with delight that this is book is one of your favorites. What could be a better than spending an afternoon with a tale of magic, adventure, and heartbreak? As you make yourself comfortable, Rhyme nestles against your legs and begins to purr.

A hush of anticipation falls as you open the book and begin to read. Riddle and Rhyme are entranced by the cadence of your words, and the presence Tower surrounds you, drawing magic from the story.
