Night 75: Patient Library

[lighthearted]

[From here.]

Once they got inside of the library, Sora definitely slowed down. It just didn't feel like the kind of place they could run in, since libraries were always supposed to be quiet.

Besides, they were going to have to pull the switch in the bookshelf first anyway. Sora knew exactly where the Oxford book was now, so without any delay he moved over and yanked it out.

The door slid open and he turned back to Link. "Let's go."

The library was quiet but there was trace evidence that the room had been used already tonight. The door to the library having been left open wide was their biggest hint.

But from here, where did they go? Aigis turned to her companions. "I will take a position at the flank. Please, lead the way."

Sechs was glad to see Taura back in one piece, but the lack of any new weapons on her brought a confused perk to his eyebrows. Nonetheless, he wasted no time on getting into the library.

Turning to Aigis, Sechs nodded and went ahead of her to approach the aisle of books with the hidden door. Stepping to the side of where the passageway would open, Sechs then gave Taura a questioning look. "What did ya have to do back there?" he asked, perplexed by the idea of not taking advantage of the well-stocked armory in the basement. Whatever it was, it must have been important enough to risk going back alone in those formidable catacombs.

"Not a what, a who." Taura's voice was barely above a whisper, but it carried across the library. She stepped over to the door, waiting for Sechs to pull it open.

"The security systems were keeping the Sphinx locked in that room, and it isn't any happier about that than you or I would be." Aigis, too, if she was anything like them, but she didn't know her as well. Anyone would be, unless the spirit had been crushed out of them, and Landel, for all his flaws, chose stronger victims than that.

"It's on its way up to help, if we can find a way to take out Landel's protections." The door swung open, and she slipped through immediately, still talking as she went.
