Master?
"Master! Come on! You've evolved three times already! How many times do you plan on
evolving?"
The moment I open my eyes to a blurry vision I see a ball of light floating in front of my
face.
A ball of light?
"hnngh…"
Green eyes, Blonde hair, and a green dress. She has wings protruding from her back,
resembling that of a dragonfly.
"Wha-?"
"What's wrong master?"
"Why…"
"Why?"
Yes…
What I saw after my vision had gone back to normal was an extremely tiny girl.
She looked like a normal person to me… Perhaps it was because of my vision.
"How can you say 'of course' so lightly?! I've never seen anyone as small as you!"
Sense?!
"Who are you anyway?! And why are you so close to my face?!"
I try to lift my head, trying to stand up because I was lying on the ground.
"hnngh!"
[Bonk!]
"Tell me already!"
"It's not that the ceiling has gotten any lower but you've grown taller!"
She's mad?
"I've gotten taller? I can't even see you clearly from up here…"
She flaps her tiny wings and flies toward my face again…
I mean she's the first person I've seen since I came here…
"Hmm… I think you entered the library and the book of wisdom might've chosen you…"
"Chosen me?..."
"Yeah that book was supposed to choose its worthy wielder, so… it chose you… it seems
like it."
"Master…"
"Y-yeah?"
"What's so dumb for a person to ask for a reason about why he got taller all of a sudden!"
"It isn't, but… your face looked so weird and dumb when you said that."
"How?!"
"You were making a dumb face, and that's it. I don't know how I'm gonna be able to
explain…"
This girl…
"So?"
"I think when the book chose you it caused you to evolve."
"What does that mean? I don't know about this evolution stuff.."
"Evolution means when a magical race or a magical beast transcends to a greater level…"
"Yeah… when the book chose you as its worthy owner it gave you all the knowledge and
its energy…"
She countinues...
"Since the energy transferred into your body was so pure and strong, your body wouldn't
have been able to withstand it so the energy brute forced your evolution…"
She had put a finger on her chin and looked up as she thought aloud to herself…
"Three times?"
Evolution stage?
"W-what's wrong?"
"Master…"
"No no, it's not a problem but… For a newborn to evolve into an elder this fast is… rare.
I think this has never happened before…"
"Master. An elder dragon emerges after tens of thousands of years when a normal dragon
goes through multiple evolutions over time. A normal dragon will take thousands of years
to evolve, building its strength, energy, and combat prowess…"
Greater?
Three?
"First, a newborn will evolve into a lesser dragon. Then a lesser dragon will evolve into a
greater one and then it will evolve into an elder. Dragons went extinct years ago… the
only ones that remain are the elder ones and a few greater ones… and I'm not sure about
it now because I've been sealed here for so long…"
"No. You went through all of them. That's why you kept sleeping for five days. You
glowed a bright rainbow color every time you evolved. And one more thing. You didn't
just get taller, you're also bigger and stronger than before."
"I can see that."
The library that I thought was so huge at that time now seems as if it is a cage holding me
down.
"That?"
"Yeah. I've been meaning to ask. What is this place? Who are you? Why are you here?"
"What's wrong?"
"Seal?"
"Yes. I cast a seal on myself that I would sleep until the day this book will choose
someone."
"it seems that being sealed for so long takes something away from you…"
I can probably sympathize with her because I've experienced memory loss…
"I see... so your body suffers consequences if you stay sealed for so long?"
"That's a trivial matter now. I've lost it now. But I'm still a bit sad because an old friend
gave me that name…"
"Old friend?"
"Yes. We built this whole place together.... Her name was Fervina…"
But.
She's dead?
Forgive me, woman. I'll forgive you too.
"The trigger for my seal was set for her death. I consented to the duty of this book. She
was such a good friend but… Humans don't live that long… she got old… and I'm sure
she died a peaceful death…"
Scientists were working on ways to prolong life but… I doubt if there's a way to reverse
the natural law.
"So, what about this library? How did you guys build it?"
"The books in silver were the magic gathered by us over years… the books were a
complete compilation of all the magic there is in the world. We worked to the bone to
achieve that. I volunteered to be the servant of the person, The book of wisdom will
choose as it was my friend's ultimate creation of magic. The person who could wield all
the magic in this library should indeed be a legendary creature. Bearing the amount of
magic and energy present in this library isn't a trivial matter. Of course, we also put the
factor of requirements of virtues. That means you met that requirements."
"We built this place with earth magic. She built all the structures and I gave her the
decoration designs… this took such a long time."
"If I may ask… is there anything else here other than this library?"
"Hmm? Of course, there is Master. This isn't just a library, you know? It was like our
secret hideout. She was a named mage, and I was her trustworthy companion. We went
on all sorts of adventures and enjoyed ourselves…"
Mage?
"There are three bedrooms, a kitchen, a treasury, Magus room, a Magic items room, a
Wardrobe, Teleportation room, bathrooms, toilets, this library, and an experimentation
lab. That about sums them up"
They couldn't afford to leave all this magic and everything to someone else so they
decided to place the legacy in the person who seemed to be the most suitable.
The book of wisdom would choose the person, which was built by them.
Then the person could use the magic and everything else according to the need and she
will be there to guide them in the role of a servant.
"My name?"
My name huh?
"Then Master! I've got a wonderful idea! We should give each other names!"
"Okay, Master! Then… hmm…. Vel… Vel?... Velfin? Velfin…. Kramik! No no this
sounds a bit lame… then… Vel? Vel…kra? Ooooh! "
"What?"
"Velkra!"
"Velkra?"
"Yup Velkra! Velfin means brave and Kramik means strong. These are words from the
language me and Fervina built for secret use."
So that's what the language was on the road back there and in the book?
"You've been talking to me for so long and didn't know what I was?"
"Sorry"
"Hmm?"
Pixie?
Then with a T?
Twixie?
"Twixie…..?"
Her eyes go distant and then the color comes back… along with flowing tears.
"Yes. I accept this name 'Twixie' that you have bestowed upon me."
Just as she says this, she glows in a bright golden color and goes back to normal.
"I evolved. When a magical race greater than one's existence gives another one a name,
they are bestowed their blessing and they evolve becoming their subordinate."
"Yeah, I'm now under the blessing of the mighty celestial dragon."
I think she just said something very important there, but let's leave it.
"Oh, I see. You're so big that you can't get up, right? We've got a solution for that."
"A solution! Tell me! I'm dying here sitting still for the past hour!"
"You can just transform into a human form now, can you?"
Eh?
Human? Form?
Eeeeeh?!
