Chapter 24: Echoes of Fate

The colossal structure of the Blackstar Library rose up right in the middle of the desert and was the only building, or sign of civilization for miles and miles. It was hexagonal in shape, with several spires and towers reaching up towards the sky, and the entire structure and all of its substructures were made from white stone. Backdropped against the dry desert and red mountains, the library stood out and with the light from the sun it seemed to shine like a diamond.

Alyssa with Markus and Derek entered in through the front gate and approached a set of stairs that led up to two entrances with great steel enforced wooden doors. A few people were walking about, but it was very quiet and relatively deserted. All three them walked up the stone stairs and through one of the entrances and inside where they emerged into a rather sumptuous foyer with carpets, marble, elegant bust and statues with great tapestries hanging throughout the walls.
