The white, leather bound book glowed as if an internal sun burned within its pages. Golden scribbles of a language I’d never seen before shimmered in gold on the face. As soon as I saw it I felt a sudden wave calm wash over me. I smiled faintly as I drew closer, comfort folksinger behind.

Oddly enough I was able to read the strange writing. The title being…

AWAKENING: BOOK OF AGES

Author…

My eyes widened. I spoke under my breath.

“William Starr.”

To think I knew everything about my best friend but no. That jerk.

I skimmed through the contents noticing chapters like the rise of creation, law and order of the universe, solar systems, ccivilizations on unknown planets, magic, and more.

If just holding this book made me feel like i was on top of the universe i could only imagine what the information inside could do for someone with dark intensions.

I set the book down, thinking of what to do next before the oak doors burst open behind me. I spun around in alarm, meeting the fiery gaze of the war goddess.

“Marona?” I laughed half in amusement and fear.

Her silver eyes narrowed. A bone chilling breeze swept across the room.

“Wolf, 6ou are here by arrest for the offense of stealing the Book Of Ages and opening it without authorization.”

All i could was stare disbelief.

I could be artested for reading?

I smiled inwardly.

I guess i didn’t really have a choice. 8 nodded, my head down and walked out of the library with angelic soldiers flanking me. The goddess leading the way.

She narrowed her silver eyes as a bone chilling breeze swept across the room.

“Wolf. You are here by placed under arrest for the umiversal offense of stealimg the Book Of Ages and opening it wothout authorization.”

All i could do was stare in disbelief.

Arrested for wanting to read? Thats new.

I smiled inwardly.
