“Hello!" I called out. After a few seconds of waiting with no response I decided to enter. The inside was dark and silent, except for a strange bellow of the room. From what I could see It was just a small room with bookshelves. Suddenly, the room lit up. I paused, dumbfounded, but I pulled myself together and continued. Bookshelves lined the walls and grappled the ceilings. The shelves were filled to the max with books. Each shelf had a label for what genre the books were. In the middle was a desk, which sat a tall figure. It had a cloak on, with a hood over its head. Despite the hood, I could still see that the figure was staring at me. Its scowl was extremely noticeable. I jumped at the sight of it. Its skin was pale, and it had dark deep-set eyes. It jerked out of its seat. It was extremely tall, abnormally tall. It marched towards me, its cloak flowing in front of it. I was paralyzed in fear. That was not a human.
The creature came up to my face and stared me down. I stumbled to the floor. It held its hand out to help me up. I scrambled back and stood up dusting myself off. The floor was covered in a thin coat of dust. Upon looking at the creatures cloak, it had a name tag on it. The nametag said ‘Esther’.
