Destined to save them all

3. A mysterious novel and a note from mum?

I finally found a book I have never even seen before it was hidden under the bottom shelf. I was looking on the middle shelf when I knocked a book off and when I went to pick it up i found the old thing hidden. I ran my finger across the book and a layer of dust an inch thick covered the top, it looked old, really old.

It doesn't have a barcode to be able to check it out which is odd every book has a barcode to scan.

I will ask Mrs Sanders about it later. But for now I will read and get lost in a fantasy world hopefully. Anywhere is better then here.

As I open the book an envelope falls out nothing written on the front or the back. I reach down to pick it up off the ground as I pick it up it feels like something is inside. My curiosity gets the better of me i look around to see if anyone is around and there isn't so I open it as quick as I can just incase. I look inside to find 2 golden rings engraved with a moon and a star. One is bigger then the other so it looks like a male and female set. They look exactly the same as I pick them up I feel like they are important I feel like they are ment for me I dont know why. I feel them calling to me on some level.

I put the larger ring on my thumb and my smaller one on my ring finger, I cant lose them. I pull out the paper inside, my mouth almost drops to the floor when I see my name on the paper, in my mother's hand writting.

My hands are shaking. I'm completely shocked what the hell is my name doing on something I have never seen in my life. In the library of all places. How would my mum know I would find it?

I look at the first few pages of the book for any clues but all I see is a picture of a castle and mountains, a dragon in flight above the mountains. I can't read what is written it's not English at all, I flip a few pages and none of it is English well I guess I won't be reading this book.

I suddenly remember the letter in my hand. I slowly put the book on the chair beside me and sit down. I slowly open the letter with shaking hands.

As I'm about to open it when I hear foot steps approaching. I shove the letter in my bag just before Mrs Sanders walks around the shelving.

She must not have been expecting to see me here judging by the way she jump and clutched her chest.

"Sorry Mrs Sanders I didnt mean to scare you" I say

"No worries dear I just wasn't expecting to see you sitting tucked away here. Have you found a good one to read today?" she asks while looking at the book in my hands.

"Oh I did. I was actually just coming to ask you about it. I found this one" I say as I grab the big book from beside me.

"Oh" she says "That's not one of ours you can have it if you want"

"Can I really? are you sure? I dont want to take it if its important to you" I tell her.

"No dear not important to me at all. But you may find it very interesting"

I look down at the book again and as I'm about to ask what she means she is gone. What the hell.

I realise its now getting late and I better get home to cook dinner for the devil. I go to the office to grab my bag shove the book in, do it up and head out. I look for Mrs Sanders to let her know im going but I dont find her anywhere.

What a strange lady she is tonight. But then again she is strange most of the time.
