Chapter 7 - Librarian Corpse

I found myself in a new room. This time it has more lights than just torches. It was still like a library, but much more big and tall. Lamps were placed on the tables and some were hanging in walls and a huge chandelier was on the ceiling. I turned my back just to see a wall. No doors at all, there are a few windows but are locked. I looked out on the glass window to see...clouds. That's right. I'm in a place that's literally floating in the sky. A voice the boomed in the library.

"Mattheo Oliver Duncan, finally we found you." A raspy voice said. I looked around to find where the voice is until some cold lips slithered on my ears. "Looking for me..." I got startled and turned to my left to see a man so skinny and pale, almost like dead. He was about 5 ft. tall and has white eyes, and I mean his pupils are white. He was wearing a long, green and purple robe and has a very, very, long beard. His nails are also long and he's barefooted. He also wears a pair of crooked glasses and is bald, in fact he looks incredibly scary, like a corpse that rose from the dead except has skin. "I'm sorry I just got startled by how....you look..." I said. "(raspy laughing) I'm used to it. I really am dead Mr. Duncan, but my soul hasn't left my body, that's why I look like this." he explained. "My name is Rasaki, a the librarian of Beauregard's School for Hidden Heroes. We welcome you to this school." he continued. I froze, I can't move. He knows who I am and I have no idea what he meant with "We WELCOME you to this school." "Excuse me? I study at Birkwood National High School not here. I haven't even enrolled yet. How am I welcomed here!?" I asked rising my annoyed tone a little bit. "You don't have to enroll to get here. Once you are picked to study here, its your choice whether you'll want it here or not." Rasaki said. "If that's so easy then I gue---" "You can't choose now, you still have to meet the head master of this school." he interrupted. "Christian Beauregard will still have to explain why are you here. I can't do that he has to. You'll follow me to his office right now whether you'll like it or not." he said. I have no choice but to follow him to Mr. Beauregard's office. He took me to the wall where I first appeared and muttered something like an enchantment. Then a bright, orange light started to draw in the wall. A door. He opened the knob and we went out. We went to the hallway of the building and I was shocked of what I saw. It was so huge, as if its a palace. The stairs were so high and there are paintings on the wall with the title of the painting and who painted it. There were chandeliers everywhere even small ones hanging on walls. The windows are very clear like its newly cleaned. One more thing that caught my attention the most are the students. They were walking either alone or with their friends carrying bags and books. Some of them took notice of me and Rasaki whispered among themselves while looking at me. We went up stairs to the second floor and stopped in front of an elevator. We entered and there were so many floors. The top one is the 30th floor. Rasaki pressed the 29th floor button and we went up. "If he's the headmaster, why is his office in the 29th floor?" I asked. "Well supposedly it was the 30th floor, but we need a floor to put our old things so we decided it to be 29th floor." he replied. The bell rang and we walked out of the elevator. We walked a few more corners and the stopped a very gigantic door. A person was infront of us wearing a black clothes covering his whole body except for his eyes. "Appointment?" he asked. "Yes, the new student has arrived." Rasaki answered. The guy closed his eyes and stood still. "What is he doing?" I whispered. "This guy has no name, but he's the one who would tell if you can enter Beauregard's office or not. He's the most strict guard around here and follows the rules very well. If you have an appointment, tell it to him a few days earlier. Then he would tell Beauregard about it. If Beauregard would say yes, this guy will inform you what time you should come. He can remember so much appointments so it won't be a problem to him." Rasaki explained. "You're allowed to enter." he finally said. "Thanks." I managed to him. We entered and I just saw the most beautiful office I have ever seen. A guy with an expensive tux was facing the glass window then turned around to see us.

"Christian Beauregard, honor to meet you Mr. Duncan." he introduced.
