After a brief rest and refueling, Shin began to make his way towards his sole reason for coming here - the library. Although there were several libraries in other towns, his belief was that the capital held the most books within the shelves of its libraries. Asking various residents of the town as to which library would provide the best information, he was led to The Fable.
The Fable was a two-story building made of bricks and mortar. In large wooden letters was the library sign and below the signs a wooden doorway acting as the entrance and exit. Compared to the libraries in Oak Town, this definitely had a rustic look to it that screamed aged knowledge. Hopefully it would have the answers to the questions Shin sought. With Gastly beside him, the two entered the library with a push of the door. A stench that reeked of knowledge filled the air. Various shelves lined the floor leaving little room to walk in between. Books were all over the place, either scattered on the tables, grounds, or tucked away with the others on the shelves. There were two stairways that led to the second floor that followed a similar scene to that of the first floor. Straight ahead was an old man with a long beard and glasses sitting behind a desk. He was most likely the librarian. Wasting no time, Shin proceeded to make his way towards the librarian.
"How can I help you lad?" asked the old man as he adjusted his glasses with a flick of his index finger.
"Do you have books on magic?"
"My boy, we live in a world of magic. It would be idiotic not to have any books on magic. Anything in particular you are looking for?"
"Takeover magic."
"Ah, takeover magic huh," the librarian thought to himself as he stroked his beard, "check the second floor, shelf 21. There won't be many books about takeover but whatever is written will be up there."
"Thanks," Shin responded with a slight nod of his head. Turning his back to the librarian, he walked towards the stairs and made his way up with Gastly following closely behind. Shelf 21 was the first shelf to the right of the stairs. Walking beside the shelf, it did not take long for him to locate whatever books there were regarding takeover. In particular, there were only three that implicitly stated takeover on the cover. Grabbing these three books, Shin made his over to an empty table and took a seat.
