[CPN] A Passenger of Fate

Sferinth for Your Thoughts [5]

Sentimental...silly...

that is who I am in this moment.

We reach the edge of the hall.

The gargantuan library door awaits

for someone to open it.

The branches that form the door-like structure

entangle and embrace each other.

To get them to part,

state the truth of your visit.

"Greetings.

We've come to read.

May we pass?" 

Master whispers to one of the branches.

It hears his truth

and unclasps its entanglement,

revealing the vast library.

✾

We used to frequent the library 

when Master was much younger—

a Virling;

now that he is older,

he is swamped with duties.

He takes airy strides, 

exploring the aisles.

I leave his shoulder.

That way we could both browse.

I wonder what I'll find.
