"Uh, something about words...or books...uh...either-or."
Dr. Slobockia, Lead Researcher at the Living Library
"Dude, don't be messing up the beginning quote!"
Gudnorr, Assistant Researcher and Lead Camraman at the Living Library
Of all the strange and wondrous sights to see in all the planes, the Living Library... Well, it's not not exactly the strangest sight, nor the most wondrous, but should you find yourself near the portal to the demiplane that contains the Living Library (straight down from the Seven Celestial heavens, turn right near Arborea), you'd definitly want to take a look.
*******
It once was that all books could move and make sound, after their own fashion. For once all the books in the world, nay, the planes! had pictures inside of them that could dance, and sing, and cry, and laugh, and do all of the things the living creatures could do.
Until one day the gods all decided to make the pictures in the books mute and still, for They had decided to make the books like all the other things that neither live nor move, because Such was Their Wont.
They hid the ways to make books just like Those of Old, and a troop of angels agreed to guard these hiding spots with their lives.
But hidden things are found, eventually, and angels may grow fickle, and so it came to pass that trickles of Mortals came to be able to make books just like Those of Old.
This story, then, is about one of those trickles, how he came to find one of the Angels that Guarded the Secrets, how he then fell in love with her, how he managed to Wrestle the Secrets Away, how he then founded the Library of Secrets and how he came to lose his love, the Angel who Guarded the Secrets.
For even a poor, sorry, slob of a doctor and his two green henchmen can, on closer examination, contain a story about sadness, joy, loss, betrayel, and yes, Love.
Basically a library with moving and talking pictures in the books. Sorry if you expected something really fancy from the above story.
