Chapter V : In search of History

Shiki goes to the nearby town's library to find anything about the Fairy Realm. He look's for documents and records of the Fairy Realms existence but found nothing other than a book about a rogue wizard and a black wizard. He thought it might be useful so he borrowed it. Shiki also asked the Librarian if they have any book about Fairies or anything that involves Realms.

"Fairies? We don't have that kind of book here. But I think the black market might have what you need." said the librarian

Shiki ask for the direction to the black market. The librarian told him the direction but he warns Shiki to not answer the calls of a woman in a ripped dark blue cloak. There's rumor going on that the woman has been cursing people that answers her cries. Some people has fallen victim to her. They say that she is not a demon but something even worse. She is a beast that cannot be tamed or be catch. Shiki take the warning seriously and try to keep it in mind. He leave the Library with a book about the rogue and black wizards.

As he arrives, the place is full of suspicious-looking people that can only be found in black market or an alleyway. He ask a vendor if any of the people here sells books about fairies.

"Fairy's book? I don't know if they have it but, there's a guy that sells book about curse and other secret document at the end."

"Oh, Thanks for the information. I'll check it out." replied Shiki

Shiki heads down to the end of the market while passing by to some interesting stalls that sells lots of goods that you cannot get elsewhere. Items range to rare and only one in the world are sold to the people that visited the black market. Do be careful because you cannot always trust these kind of people.

As he walk by, a woman in Black clean and still new cloak calls for him. This woman doesn't match the description that was described by the librarian. The woman whispers to Shiki that she might have the thing that he was looking for. Without consent, she pulled Shiki's hand to an alleyway and reveals herself. Her looks is still young and was very polite. Then, out of nowhere she hugs Shiki.

"Aris, you're alive!" said the woman

Shiki is now weirded out. Even though this is the first time he visited this town.

"Umm...I think you might have the wrong person." Shiki said in utter confusion.

"But, you looked just like him."

"I know that, but my name is Shiki Cerise. I have no idea who is this Aris you're talking about." Shiki replied back

"Oh, Sorry for wasting your time like this. In order to make up for it, Do you mind some tea in the house?"

"I guess not"

They both enters the door behind the alleyway which was the house of the woman. Shiki looked around to see if there's any book that might help him learn about the Fairy Realm while the woman is at the kitchen brewing some tea.

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

"So, About the thing that you promised..where is it?"

"Ah yes, give me a second. I'll get it"

She goes to her basement to pick the thing that was promised. Later, she came back with an old looking box that can only be open with a secret chant. Inside there were some old records of mythical creatures that was found and discovered. There's also photos of people like they are some kind of a wizard traveler group or something.

"Hey, who is this all of the person in this photo?" Shiki asked.

"This is my comrades. We were a group of wizards that travels in search of evil."

"What happen to them now?"

"I'm not sure about the others but, Aris and that person in the middle was killed by the White Serpent during a quest."

"Sorry to hear that."

"It's okay, these are old documents and records on places we've been to and mythical creatures we defeated. Check if there's anything you would like to see."

"Ohhh...Wait if this thing is old, then why are you still young?"

"It's just my traits, Im actually 100 hundred years old."

"I see, let me see if any of this will come to help." Shiki doubts

"Why do you need these kinds of stuff? the woman ask

"Oh I'm doing a research on the Fairy Realm. Something is happening there and I need to help them" Shiki replied back.

"Your kindness is just like Aris. He always help people whenever there's something wrong."

"Talk about Aris, what's your name?" Shiki forgot to ask her name before.

"My name is Miyako, Miyako Crimson." She answers

"By the way I think I have a record of us defeating a Fairy Dark Lord. It's here" Miyako shows Shiki the record.

"Thanks I'll use this on my research, hope you don't mind because I need to look for any book that keep the Fairy realm in record."

"Sure just be careful on your way out" Miyako said to Shiki.

Shiki heads out to see if theres a book about it. He arrives at the stall and ask the vendor if they sell such thing.

"Do you have any book that record the Fairy Realm or Fairies in general?"

"I think so,We have two of these by the same author but different title." said the vendor.

"Thanks, I'll take two of those."

Shiki pays everything and heads home to his room and start by analyzing the document.

"X274 - We defeated Ymmorth Zosrar. His last words were ' I will be resurrected and destroy the Fairy Realm and Human Realm.' We will wait for his return while we have no idea if he really thinks the Fairy Realm exist. - Kriffin Magyarus" the report said.

"So they defeated a guy who knows about the Fairy Realm huh? Let me see if the book be any help" Shiki thought to himself.

"Page 46 - Fairies and Elf - Both of these creature used to live in their own realm. Like us humans, we live in our own realm and only these creature's magic can make them visit us without us knowing about their existence. The magic power of these creature depends on their rank such as the royal or noble is powerful enough to create a portal between 2 realms. - the third paragraph of the page." is what was recorded and written in the book.

" What? only this guy know about this kind of stuff. How come nobody put this in a library instead. Based on the writing and the looks of this book, I'm pretty sure the author is long gone." Shiki think so.

"Let me see if the records of rogue and black wizards might connect these dots." said Shiki.

"Page 11 - Ymmorth Zosrar/Othorion Ecru - He was a noble wizard before he went rogue and has one goal that is to conquer the world. He was later defeated by the Legion of Shadow led by Kriffin Magyarus. His last words upon his death were to be resurrected to take over the 'Human Realm' and 'Fairy Realm' . His body were kept on guard but, after 3 years the body got stolen with no trace left behind. There has been no evidence of his resurrection nor witness that saw the body got stolen. - paragraph 4" is what was written.

"I GET IT! I think I might be right about this and if this true then, I may need Luna's magic to create the portal between Fairy Realm and here. I need to talk to Luna about this."
