Chapter 7
Professor Theodore walked along the corridor to his next class.
Abel had asked to see him that morning but hadn’t showed up at the library.
The tall professor sighed.
The boy probably didn’t harbour any feelings of guilt about it either.
He was always so quiet and completely inaccessible sometimes.
Professor Theodore had had an unusual amount of trouble getting Abel to open up when they’d first met but now, the two were incredibly close.
Most of Abel’s story was still unknown to Theodore but now and then, Abel opened up with a throng of feelings and stories before clamping up again. He didn’t even seem to consciously process how closed off he was.
Theodore glanced into one of the classrooms as he walked by.
Being a Half-Myth himself, he mostly understood how lonely most of their kind could feel but Abel and Ethan seemed like they were in more distressing positions than most others

Theodore 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
