Chapter 10: Sins of The Ancestors

I see it now.

The stares of hatred, confusion, and fear. The guards and students all look at me with anything but kindness or neutrality.

So this is what it means to be a human here. This hasn't been the fantasy adventure the stories promised. I...need to leave this place. I'm a danger to everyone here.

But before I can come up with a plan to escape a planet, the guards open the door to the library.

"Whoa."

The beauty and vastness of the room temporarily made me forget my situation. Rows upon rows of books that seem to glimmer in the sun that's peaking through the 2nd level window.

"3 hours."

I look at the guard. Did he just...speak?

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"You're only allowed in here for 3 hours. Any longer and we'll have to assume you're trying to steal something."

"Is that because I'm a human?"

He says nothing but he didn't need to.

I walk into the warmly lit library and just check everything out. It's truly beautiful, the best place I've seen since being summoned.
