Chapter 29 - Library of Dreams

(This has not been edited yet, please wait while i fix the grammar, chats, ETC.)

Eram looked around the massive Library for something to read. The more he walked the more he felt like he was in a fever dream. The bookshelves reached toward the sky like hands reaching toward gods. He instinctively knew there were more than a million books here and that made him excited.

Eram found a book that looked interesting and decided to read the title. The book was called 'cowardice love' it had a picture of 7 shadows of different colors surrounding a baby in the center. Eram went back to the center to meet up with his friends and immediately started reading.

The book opens with 7 beings wanting to create a place for having fun. The three beings called Blue, Orange, and Green found a way to create life. With that desire, they went to the other four Purple, White, Black, and Pink, and asked if they could make a house for the life they wanted to create. The four beings did as requested and made a massive house.

The beings were happy with their hard work. Walking around the giant house they made sure to inspect every corner for the child they were going to make. Once they were happy with everything in the house all the beings sat in a circle and cut their hands open spilling blood into the center. Blue started to chant causing pain throughout his whole body but refused to stop. All of the others noticed his struggle and smiled deciding to pitch in.

They all chanted suffering with the blue one. After a while the chant was done and a small baby lay in the puddle of blood. White bent over crying picking up the small creature and walked around the house with it showing it all the hard work it had done. The child unable to think or understand anything took a nap in its arms.

The beings all got together to give it a name once White came back. They all discussed in detail and said name should be Solamor meaning Eternal Sun. They wanted the child to be able to play and have fun forever. As the years went by they realized that the baby needed friends so they created other creatures for him to play with.

By the time the child was 6 the seven beings had created a thousand different species though none could rough house with him without getting hurt. On the child's seventh birthday, they created 6 species that would be able to play with him and not get hurt. They made Embuerus resemble a bird born from fire, Vyrmagon who resembled more like a lizard but was more hot-tempered and had a rivalry with Embuerus, and Celestara who looked more like a mix between an eagle and a lion mixed. Celestia was a creative project from Black.

Embuerus was the first one they created and was the oldest, He was Emotional and cared very much for Solarmor. There were four more created by each of the seven original beings each trying to add something of their own or a twist to make life more beautiful. One day the Child named Solamor asked the seven original beings for their names and they had no answer.

Solomon was unhappy with that so decided to give them names himself. He renamed Blue to Thalorin after the ocean, Green to Zephros after the wind, Purple to Kryllar after strength, White to Seluria after the beautiful moon in the sky, Black to Astraela after the stars, Orange to Embrithos after the sun, Lastly Pink to Valoria after wisdom.

After receiving their new names the seven beings excitedly kept repeating their new names. They all had fun. The human child named Solamor got older and created thousands of humans who could play with the other creatures who were too weak to play with him. As time passed all the animals in the house multiplied filling every room. No matter how many Creatures there were Seluria always made the house bigger so everyone could be inside with them. 

Everyone there loved each other unconditionally but eventually, all good things come to an end. There was a knock on the door and a red being was standing at the door it introduced itself as Nexaros and everyone else was going to move out permanently. Behind Nexaros stood him millions of children he modeled after himself who all wanted to bring chaos and destruction.

Sensing that everyone could die the seven original beings ran to the door to kill the intruder but to no avail. Nexaros was stronger than all of them killing most of their children. After being driven to a corner Solamor had a plan and gave his thoughts to Seluria who agreed with his plan. Seluria and Astaela were hiding as they were too weak to help directly but could boost all of the children and their brothers and sisters. Seluria gave everything she had and ran to the door to deliver the news before using up all of her energy and vanished.

Nexarus knew that he could cause more damage by twisting the children towards evil so he offered up some of his power to twist many of the children of the 7 to evil. Getting weaker Nexarus knew he would be pushed out but laughed seeing all of the pain and suffering on the others. He giggled in delight feeling so much pleasure he smiled wider tearing some of the skin on his face and revealing fangs.

Seeing Her sister vanish Fury twisted Valoria used all of her energy in an instant and used some beams from her fingers to get rid of all of Nexaros' children but he didn't care. Green bent over and used a chant to close the door to shut out the Vile Nexaros but the giant threw all of the children he could into the home. The home was massive so there was plenty of room for his children to hide and kill all of the people who lived there. Nexaros knew his plan so he gave his firstborn Lucifer a plan to take over the home.

As the battle raged on Thalorin bent over letting Solamor know he had to protect everyone. Solmar knew what to do and brought all of the children who hadn't turned evil to him. He yelled loud enough to knock all of the children deformed by evil to wake up and cry. He told them all goodbye and he was sorry he couldn't protect them. Most of the humans were unaffected by Nexarus' spell but were weak so Solamor took them to a part of the house far away so that the enemies couldn't find them.

Noticing all of the children other than humans were starting to be affected by the madness Salomar made another room for All of his brothers and sisters made of the strongest metal he could make to protect them. Once they all entered the room they all fell asleep crying.

Back at the door, there was still a massive fight going on. All of the original 7 vanished shutting the door on Nexarus and locking him out. But all of the children gripped by chaos were killing each other mercilessly. After a while, they all disbursed leaving mountains of corpses.

The 7 didn't vanish but were using every iota of their power to keep Nexarus out. Nexus stood by the door maniacally laughing telling all of them he was going to kill everyone and he was going to enjoy it. The 7 were crying at all of their kids dying and it was causing them a lot of suffering.

At the end of the book, it said something that made Eram cry, Embuerus sorry for failing you, please go back to sleep. Eram started to cry harder, he went to put the book back. His friends noticed something wrong and asked him if he was okay.

" Eram are you alright" Michael ran up to him and put his hand on Eram. Eram looked over at him and Michael burst into tears falling to the ground not knowing why.

Eram looked back covered in tears as the rest of the group came up " Sorry, I don't know why I'm crying. This I guess was just a good book." Eram looked at the book not knowing why he was so emotional. He had an itching feeling in the back of his mind he couldn't put his finger on it though.

Eram walked back to where he got the book and put it back. While he was walking back he started feeling better as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. By the time he got back, Michael stopped crying. The bell rang signally that class was over much to everyone's relief.

Yuki looked at Eram and said. " You want me to walk with you to the next class?"
