TAKE X (6-5-17: The End)

"M-Meion?"

My voice catches a little bit. I swallow.

"What are you doing here? What do you want?"

There. That sounds better. Gotta keep the confidence in my voice.



"This is MY library."

His voice sounds like boulders, crashing down the side of an endless mountain. The cheer I heard in his words while he was interred in the Normal Place is completely gone.

"Not anymore it's not," I say.



He narrows his eyes, but he's... smiling?

"I do not believe you understand," he continues. "My spirit is what keeps this library together. You may have thought you killed me, but a fraction of my power remained here."

I frown. Is that why books have been disappearing from the shelves?

"Every book, every tome, every scrap of paper in the entire Centrality is mine to manipulate," Meion says. "It has taken me eons to pull myself back together, but now that I have done so, I do not intend to let you run roughshod over this world."



"You shall have access to this library no longer. Good luck finding it... especially since you do not have the domain of secrets."



The library... is gone.
