2021-07-03 16:00:51Theodore sat at a table in the large library.
Sunlight slanted in through the windows behind him, his shoulders and the back of his head slowly growing warm with their attention.
He had a few blank sheets of paper out in front of him and a stack of books at his side.
He’d sent word to the boys to come see him when their classes ended and now, he waited.
The professor hoped he wouldn’t be dragging the boys into something that would kill them. It was sure to be dangerous but he definitely needed their help if he was to try to track down all the Half-Myths in the area to warn them or offer them safety.
He looked up at the familiar scent of the two boys entering the library, a fair distance away from where he sat.
Abel towered over his blond friend, his body built sturdier and eyes always kept hidden under the hood of his hoodie. The Half-Merman had it in him to be a terrifying swimmer but had chosen not to pursue sw

Beryl looked at Daryl in confusion.What was she dragging them into now?She really hoped her tall friend wasn’t planning on throwing Daffodil into the mess.The pretty professor straightened before placing a hand on her hip, her face annoyed, “Our last librarian had a Masters in Library Science. Think your candidate can match that?”The two gaped.Beryl didn’t know you needed a Degree to be a librarian.“W-well, I’m sure she’ll be better than doing the work all by yourself,” Daryl looked genuinely confused, “How is it a bad idea to hire someone temporarily?”Beryl quickly stepped in when she saw the lady’s face glare, “A temporary help might relieve you is what my friend is saying.”The lady looked very irritated with them and frankly, Beryl was mad at herself.It wasn’t very mature of her to lose her Library Card on the

Daffodil skipped along behind her friends, her heart soaring.Daryl and Beryl were in good spirits as well, laughing away and occasionally turning around to check and make sure Daffodil’s wings weren’t poking out.Daffodil smiled to herself, stomach aflutter with the excitement of a new day and a new experience.She couldn’t believe the girls had actually landed her a job!The thought of meeting new humans and doing things on her own thrilled her.It had been a long time since her last human interaction without her mother by her side and the incident had definitely scarred her and insured her mother forbidding any outings anymore.Daffodil felt a little guilty feeling so happy when her mother and father were probably rather panicked elsewhere.The pretty fairy sighed and straightened the collar of the shirt she was wearing.Temporarily, and for as long as she was around, she would be useful an

Daffodil walked into a massive library. A large empty space lay ahead of her on entering with a large window opposite that bathed the smooth floor with sunlight.The floor began carpeted a little distance to her right and spread on underneath shelves and shelves of books. Only two students sat at a table underneath the large window and Daffodil couldn’t help the feeling of gentle warmth stir in her stomach.Such an expansive place and she would love to manage it for the time she was there.Daryl had said it was a ‘temporary’ job and the petite Half-Fairy hoped she would be able to keep her job for longer than just a few days.Her two friends stood just outside the library, helping a student find a classroom and Daffodil turned around to watch the door, waiting for them to return.She wished she could continue to work in the Library for as long as possible. It had such a serene ambience and was so bright and calm t

Professor Theodore led the way to the desk that backed against a wall, a small doorway leading into a room strewn with papers and books.He glanced around quickly to ensure the pretty lady was still following him.Walking forward, he wondered what he could have said or done that could have made her stiffen up as much as she had.The woman made a beautiful picture with her waist-length pink hair and wonder-filled eyes but she had suddenly shifted to not meeting his gaze with a slight frown pulling at her eyebrows.He stepped to the desk before turning to look at her, pocketing his hands and hoping the small distance he maintained would comfort her.“This will be your workstation,” He gave the young woman the warmest smile he could muster.She looked up at him, her expression seeming to have changed completely.There was a deep sorrow in her eyes and she looked up at him with concern knitting her eyebrows.

Abel walked down the long corridor, stepping quietly and quickly to get to the Library.He had to see the professor before his second class of the day.Lessons were getting interesting but Ethan’s constant whining, about being scared of going to his part-time job following the news of the seventeen Half-Myth murders, had almost given Abel a headache.He wondered if the Half-Myth hunters had gotten to committing anymore crimes since then.He sighed as he went down the stairs.There was very little data on the number or location of Half-Myths.Attributable to how little the Half-Myths were really focussed on in the Mythological Realm. It was almost an uneasy topic to pick up around groups and Abel knew why.The Elf clans harboured intense disdain for the Half-Breeds and most others respected or feared the Elves.Although the Mythological Realm claimed that all the races were equal, most everyone revered the

Daffodil laughed out loud before nodding, “I’ve seen Mermaidens do that!”Abel smiled as he watched her, supporting his chin with his right palm, “How often have you gone to these meetings? I would have liked to have been part of the meetings.”“Oh,” Daffodil paused to think, “Quite a few times, actually. I think Fairies and Merpeople meet up the most.”Abel nodded, a small smile still on his lips, “They do. When I think about it, I’ve spent the most time with my family in the company of Fairies.”Daffodil nodded enthusiastically, “Every Island we’ve visited so far has the most beautiful greenery I’ve ever seen!”Abel made a face, “Merpeople can’t really enjoy greenery. We focus on how the water feels near the land.”“Oh!” Daffodil nodded again, her pink head bobbing up and down, “Of course! Are

Theodore hurried to the Library.His first class had ended with him taking a little longer to clear out a few doubts.The professor was excited to see the petite girl at the library and he sighed.He hoped he wouldn’t catch feelings for someone.Close relationships always caused problems for Half-Myths.Turning a corner, he looked up to see two familiar heads hurrying ahead.It was the two students who’d introduced the new Librarian and they seemed to be on their way to see their friend.Theodore slowed his pace to let them get ahead further.He didn’t have any classes in the second hour of the day and decided the girls would get some time to themselves in between classes.The three seemed so close.The professor frowned when he sensed a very familiar scent in the air.A scent that raised the hair on his neck and made his ears quiver in dread; the scent he’d grown up

Theodore stepped closer to the Library, his expression perturbed.The scent had disappeared quickly but for a few minutes, it had been very strong; the scent of a healthy, pure-blood Gloom-Elf.The professor swallowed, fear slowly entering his chest.Damon was a Full-fledged Gloom Elf.There was no way he would be around the University in such broad daylight risking the Humans finding out about the Mythological World. Half-Myths could hide their traits a lot easier than Elves or Fairies could.Theodore dabbed at the sweat on his forehead.Ethan and Abel walked around the halls with no protection. The boys were not used to sudden bursts of violence or anything close to fighting or defending themselves.Professor Theodore sighed.He couldn’t risk their safety any longer after the scent he’d smelt.“Professor, are you okay?”Theodore looked up to see the stunning Dorothy Haggl

Drew ran through the corridor, making his way quickly to the library.He hoped the professor was around.Drew had received a phone call from his family.The Centaurs had captured a live Half-Myth Hunter.Drew felt himself smile.The amount of pain the Hunter was going to go through now that he had been caught by the protective and angry Centaur Clan was not going to be slight.Drew caught sight of Abel’s tall frame stood next to a pretty girl with pretty blond hair.“Hey!”Abel looked up with a smile, “Drew!”Drew skipped over and gave the girl a smile.The girl broke into a warm grin.“This is Daryl, Drew,” Abel said, “Daryl, this is Drew.”Drew nodded before glancing at Abel quickly, “Is the professor around?

Daffodil looked up to see a cheerful Theodore walk up to her.Her heart squeezed.She’d worried over making the wrong impression all morning.He seemed perfectly happy now.“Hello, Daphne!” his eyes crinkled at the corners and Daffodilinvoluntarily leaned in with a smile of her own.“Hello, professor.”The man chuckled, his eyes amused, “We glanced in and couldn’t find you.It seems you’re small enough to hide behind the desk.”Daffodil felt her smile falter.Was he calling her short?She frowned at him, “Professor, this desk is just… too large.”The man laughed before placing his elbows on the desk and leaning intowards her.Daffodil felt her heart rate quicken.“Most things seem large next to you, my dear.”Daffodil slapped at his shoulder despite her heart jumping at his words andthe way his v

“A wolf?!”Daffodil laughed as the two girls ran down the corridor, “You look so happy!”There was an excited giggle from Daryl, “You can control wolves now?”Daffodil laughed, “Not control but they become extremely loyal to us and do what we say.”“THAT’S CONTROL, DAFF!” Daryl yelled.The two girls laughed despite the anxiety they were feeling.“He’ll be here in minutes! I have to lead him away, Daryl. He’ll come to me without hesitation until I take charge and give him his orders.”“Daff, that’s so cool!” Daryl gushed.Daffodil giggled, “Please make sure no older person walks into the library to see me gone!”“You can count on me, Daff!”The girls split to go their separate ways.Daryl hurried across to stand at a

Chaglayne walked through the throng of students rushing to their classes.He had given up going to his lessons. They were too much of a bother andannoyed him too much. The potion caused irritations as well. He haddecided to use his ID card to get into the University and roam around,looking for scents and then hunting down the individuals. He would, hedecided, talk to the Half-Myths he traced and maybe get their locations andaddresses. Enquire of them if they knew anymore.Walking past a group of giggling humans, he felt his anger rise up again.The weaklings lived such self-sufficient lives.How was that possible? They had no powers and no knowledge of thecreatures they lived alongside.The fact that the Half-Myths lived unconcerned lives while blending inirritated him even more.They completely ignored their Mythological side when they should revereit.Chaglayne’s ears perked u

Dorothy Hagglin walked out of the Library, annoyed.The Professor showed no signs of liking her and did not flirt back.It was starting to work her last nerve.The man was not anything special, she thought as she grew annoyed. He was older than she preferred and wasn’t as handsome as the other men she had dated. He had a good job but Dorothy knew she could score most anyone outside of the University.His being a high-ranking Elf Family’s son is what had attracted her.She wondered if she should reveal to him that she knew of his Mythical self. Maybe that would help her get closer to him. At the moment, he held her at arm’s length and did not let her in.But then, she thought, what if the professor became aware that she only wanted him because of his prestigious family?She had to play the part of an innocent woman in love that was then surprised to hear of his wealthy and sophisticated family.

Beryl stared up at the boy Daffodil had bumped into.She had seen him with the professor the day before. A half-Myth, she thought to herself.He looked stunning in person.It made sense that Daryl had drooled over him so shamelessly.He looked like a model. Gorgeous skin and sparkly eyes were the first thing that would grab your attention. His hair was golden and silky and he had a structured, handsome face.“Are you alright?” He enquired to Daffodil before helping her steady.Beryl and Daryl stood beside the Half-Fairy.The boy paused for a minute as he studied Daffodil’s appearance before he smiled at her, reaching out a hand, “Hello… I’m Ethan! Abel told me all about you.”Beryl blinked in surprise.Was he mentioning the secret they shared?She glanced over at Daryl who had her mouth open.Looking over at the handsome boy, Beryl wa

The next morning was bright and seemed cheerful to Beryl.She paused to watch her chocolate brown hair wave in the mirror.Satisfied, she set her brush down and threw on the dark-blue shrug she was pairing with her white tank top.She left her bedroom and walked past the door of Daryl’s.Her lips lifted in a smile.Beryl had assumed Daffodil, her cousin, would share her bed since her sudden arrival but Daryl had bonded with Daffodil too quickly and now, the pair stayed up late talking until they fell asleep in their room.It was possible, Beryl knew, because of Daryl’s friendly nature and sweet heart.Daffodil was no less kind herself but for such a tender friendship to blossom so quickly, Daryl seemed the biggest cause.Walking into the kitchen, Beryl caught sight of her pink-haired cousin at work near the stove.Pancakes sat on the counter, warm and soft to look at.“Good morni

Drew dropped the last of his packed belongings onto the carpet of a cozy living room.“There!”Ethan sighed from where he’d taken a seat on the couch, “I can’t believe we’ve actually moved in. That took so long!”Abel nodded, “We’ve taken hours… Where’s the professor anyway? The University should be closed by now.”“Why don’t you call him?” Drew was kneeling by the suitcases, “We can’t just start moving into the rooms before he comes in.”Abel had pulled out his phone and started picking out the Professor’s number, “Yeah.”Ethan sighed, a hand raking through his silky blond hair, “This is such a turn.”The young Drew nodded, “It sure is. Wow.”He rubbed at his nose with his finger, “Who would have thought any of these things would happen?”Etha

Daff listened to her two friends bicker away as she slid two books into a shelf.The library was full of students sitting in different corners, most not bothering Daffodil as they sat by themselves or in groups, reading the books they had taken.Daffodil walked over to her desk, her friends subconsciously following along as they continued to argue.“You guys,” the pink haired fairy urged, as her eyes travelled through the Library, watching all of the humans studying, “can’t you give it a rest?”Ignored, she sighed when she reached the desk with the two of them.Looking around her, she wondered what kind of a life she had missed out on over the years.Her mother had taught her at home but Daffodil had widely believed that Half-Myths were extremely rare and that most only lived with their mythological side.Half-Myths living full-time with the humans surprised her.It was such a lot
