Joseph had dropped into the astral himself manifesting consciousness emerging to the sight of what appeared to be a library specifically one that would be seen on Planet Kelioux. He looked and felt around for the presence of another
The Astral Library. It held the most dangerous specks of knowledge that Kelioux held onto. This included books, objects and even things that were alive. It was a simple hallway in its design and on either side of it would he a row of doors.
The hallway was endless. And walking up to the young boy would be a cat with deep ocean blue fur. "Another mind that has wondered too far, " she said with a calm and stoic voice.
"And I shall be your guide back to the real world."
"I don't think so, I come to this realm pretty often," The boy replied. " "My name is Joseph. What's your name?"
"Puar. No one seems to ask for my name. That is a first. It is naturally a fight they look for or opening doors that shouldn't be opened." She stretched some, leaning her frontal down and her backside up to some extremes. She then kicked her hind legs out and shook them a bit.
"You come to the Astral Realm, yes. But the Astral Library is quite different. Very few stumble here with ease. I am a Librarian of the Kelioux Academy Library. You are in a forbidden zone of the Astral Realm, and it is my job to lead you out."
With that the feline pointed her head down the hallway before turning her entire body and walking toward the looming darkness. "Come on now, or I will leave you behind and... that can be very unfortunate for you if you get lost. Especially when the hallway is just one straight shot, Joseph"
"Ok," Joseph said as he began following behind the feline down the hallway. If this was different than the astral realm then then the last thing he wanted was to get lost.
The boy looked side to side at the astral library. He had never been to this part of the plain before now it played at his curiosity.
"What is the astral library exactly? How is it different from the regular astral realm?"
"It is directly connected to the real library of Kelioux Academy. It is a section of the Astral Realm that the powerful group, known as Librarians, personally carved out of the Astral Realm itself. We use it to store the most dangerous items that were either sold to us, or we keep for study.... or simply imprisoned here as a last resort due to their influence and... or power. We patrol constantly to make sure nothing is trying to escape and to escort people who have stumbled here trying to reach the other parts of the Realm. You are the latter, Joseph."
She continued to walk and stopped at one of the doors on the right. She raised a paw and the door opened to show... another hallway that looked just like this one. She entered the door and proceeded down that hallway.
"Cool." Joseph drawled. He was aware that Kelioux possessed arcane knowledge that the rest of the galaxy couldn't fathom without experiencing, Joseph would have never postulated he could come to such sacred grounds by accidentm. He wondered what brought him here, and also wondered if Towa knew about this mysterious subsection of the realm.
"I'm sorry, I did not mean to intrude," he said as he continued following
"Oh no, it isn't your fault at all. Naturally, if you are brought here then there is a reason. Maybe your reason was to meet me? Who knows," she said as she continued down the hallway some more. "Have you shown any interest in studying on Kelioux?"
"Yes, I have actually. Haven't decided if I will. A friend asked if I wanted to be a Paladin and Galactic laws don't let you join more than one of the major organizations of the galaxy. I wish I could do both."
"Ah, yes the great divide. It is crucial that you choose well. If you consider the Academy, I am a teacher there as well, though... my realm of study is a dying one and useless to some."
Another stop and another door opened. Yet another hallway which the cat herself continued through. "We are almost to the edge, don't worry."
"What is your field of study?" the boy asked.
"Body Transmogrification. There used to be a school on Earth dedicated to it, but it has perished. There are barely anyone out there with the gift to do such things, but more or less the art of transforming can benefit from the studies, which a lot of people attend the class for."
Puar sighed. "But no one can take the talents further, because true metamorphs are nearly extinct."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I know Kitsune that can change her appearance but it might not be quite the same."
"Or...it could be. Nearly extinct, doesn't mean completely. You have me for instance," she said with a sly tone as she turned back to him. "This isn't my true form. It is a comforting form that helps conceal not just my power, but is quite cute I'd say."
"It's a pretty nice form," joseph replied. "May I see your true form?"
"Maybe some other time," she said as she stopped at a door. It was the final door. "Maybe a time when you have earned my trust. You seem like a good kid Joseph. If you do come to the Academy make sure to look up Professor Puar. This is the final door. You may leave through this one."
"Ok, it was nice speaking to you." At that Joseph stepped though the final door and exited the astral archive.
