Salrorah and Malanor

For a few hours, Aloys walked everywhere on the ground floor of the library, researching books with his perception and restauring everyone who might be of interest to him on the bottom of the bookshelves, while gesturing for Alanor to pick up the books at the top.

While Alanor followed him, he was very intrigued by Aloys' book choices, because even though he was sure he didn't know how to read anything, he made many book choices related mainly to stories from the continent, general stories and general knowledge of the world, legends of the world and some general information like for exemple noble titles, noble familys on the Pláton city, Guild Adventures, etc...

But since Aloys always made the same moves, picking up a book, opening, seeing for a few seconds, closing and putting it away, Alanor did not exalt it much, imagining that Aloys was imitating the movement of his mother or the other readers in the library, while having fun and he laughed silently, watching Aloys walk with his crooked little legs.

'What an incredible world ...' Aloys thinks while restoring information about legends that happened in the Peacock Empire of ancient emperors and their greatest achievements.

'From what we've seen so far, everything on the ground floor can be called information for' mortals ', along with stories talking about how incredible the Peacock empire is, and there's nothing that could help increase our strength.' mutters Miguel.

'Look on the bright side, I thought I would need to learn all this on my own. The amount of information we get out of here today and in a so short time, has solved many of our questions and curiosities. A single empire with 8 billion people, how ridiculously big is that ?! That's practically the amount of people that exist across my previous planet! And all of this in a single empire! '

'I agree, but it is a pity that we did not find any information about the mother. I hope have it on the upper floors. '

'You are very pessimistic. This may not be general information for what they call "mortals", let's try to go up the stairs now. '

With aloys heading towards the stairs, which were quite steep and high, along with Alanor just looking from behind, Aurorah finishes picking up the books she needs and starts going towards both of them.

"Alanor, I'm done, I'm going to take these here, shall we?" Aurorah speaks in a low tone along with a smile on her face, while she looks at Alanor, who has a red face and a hand over her mouth holding a laugh.

"Pft ..."

No longer able to hold it, Alanor starts to laugh, making some noises with his mouth as he tries to keep it closed, making some people close to him look, but when they saw his clothes and his face, they quickly ignored it and turned their eyes for the side, as if they were looking at a monster while praying that it would not notice them.

"What are you ..."

Looking at the place Alanor was watching, while trying her best to cover her mouth to keep from laughing in front of Aurorah (unsuccessfully) sees Aloys climbing up wide stairs, one by one, with her crooked little legs, looking like a cute puppy...

Aurorah opens a mouth in shock and her eyes jump some veins, she runs towards Alanor giving a nice punch right in the center of her back, while she goes on for hold Aloys.

The punch made a sound of hollow wood, echoing throughout the library, causing Alanor to bend his back as if it were a bow, to squint his eyes as if he were having a stroke, taking his hands up to his ears, while opening his mouth in the shape of an egg, without being able to emit any sound, while trying desperately for air.

Shortly after the noise echoed, due to the silence, it was possible to hear a rhythmic sound of many readers swallowing, while they stared with wide eyes at the book in front of them, and a drop of cold sweat ran slowly down the side of their foreheads. No one dared to look at Alanor or Aurorah with the corners of their eyes.

Because they were closer to the city center after flying for hours, permanent residents started to appear more frequently, and virtually all residents of the city, whether from north or south, knew many stories of a certain noble couple ... Also known as Salrorah and Malanor ...

With Aurorah arriving at Aloys' side, who had stopped climbing due to the loud noise and trying to look back, she puts him on her lap and starts talking in a whisper while trying to suppress her anger for Alanor.

"Son, we're going now."

Upon being carried, Aloys looks up and points his finger, indicating to Aurorah that he wanted to go up to the first floor of the library.

"Oh? Do you want to go up?" asks Aurorah, raising her eyebrows a little.

"Move up." Aloys replies as he looks up and points his finger.

"Did you learn another word? How beautiful! Hehe. How is it possible to be so smart?! But now we need to go, we've been here a long time. We'll be back later and I'll take you upstairs, okay?" says Aurorah with a happy face and making a nasal voice, while she rubs her cheeks on Aloys'.

'Sigh ... How frustrating to be a baby. Is this how a teddy bear feels? '

'I must say that you even deserve an award for your performance. hahaha 'says Miguel while having a long laugh.

'Shut up. I'm being obliged, okay? 'Aloys says rolling his eyes.

'Okay, but it's still funny!'

'Anyway, did you see what happened to Alanor? Why did he stay in that awkward position for so long? And that noise? '

'Changing the subject, right ... I didn't see what happened to him, I just know that he seemed to be in pain.'

'I hope everything is alright.'

A few hours passed after Aurorah, Aloys and Alanor from the library, they went through some fine clothing stores to buy some pieces of clothing of all sizes for Aloys. All the way, Aurorah ignored Alanor who followed her, opening her mouth just to play with Aloys and talk to the salespeople at the stores she stopped at.

After flying at high speed for a while, while Aloys slept in boredom, Aurorah suddenly left the shopping street she was traveling on and started flying down a modest street, with residential buildings all the way, and after a few more minutes moving on, he spotted a rather simple-looking house, where he landed and started walking towards the gate.

The house looked very normal, with its pale green paint and few ornaments on the outside, but it was apparently very spacious looking over the area it took. The yard had some flowers in the corners and the grass neatly trimmed, there were also swings hanging from the trees located farther down the house, along with litter boxes and slides for children to play.

Aurorah stopped in front of the silver gate that had no detail or design drawing attention, except for something like a completely black ball right in the center, she then released a soft white aura from her body that ran towards the little black ball as if it being sucked into it, and with a high-pitched noise, a gate started to open automatically.

As they walked down the backyard path towards the residence door, Alanor took courage and tried to speak to Aurorah.

"Ehmm .. Honey?"

"..." ignoring Alanor, Aurorah continued walking, pretending not hear.

"I was just kidding there. Of course, if him fell down I would be able to catch him without getting hurt. You don't have to overdo it, right?" Alanor forces a smile as he puts his hands together, reminding him of a salesman offering a defective product to an ignorant customer.

Hearing this, Aurorah just added a withering look to Alanor, it was a look that if directed at someone weak would probably be a deadly skill, he feels a chill in his back and lowers his head looking at the floor without daring to say anything else.

Arriving at the door of the residence, Aurorah sends another pulse of white energy to another black ball in the center of the simple door, but this time when it opens, a woman of apparently 60 years old, with white hair, around 1.70 cm appears at the entrance to the door and bends towards Aurorah and Alanor.

"Master Aurorah, Master Alanor, welcome!"

"Hello Lirah, it's been a while. Is everything okay here?" Aurorah responds with a gentile smile.

"It's a blessi ..."

"Duke Aurorah, Duke Alanor, it's been a while since yo ..."

Interrupting the lady named Lirah, a well-dressed man in a dark blue overcoat, with some golden ornaments that resembled peacock feathers on his chest and sleeves, with his dark red hair and sharp crimson eyes, appeared from a room on the side, emiting naturally an aura of hot and suffocating to those who were close. He was about 1,80cm tall and had a warm, gentle smile in the face when looking at Aurorah.

In the same instant that he would make a brief greeting to Aurorah and Alanor, his attention was stolen by a sleeping child, and when he noticed a particular aura around him, he widened his eyes and mouth in disbelief, unable to utter another word.

Feeling a chill down his spine, Aloys wakes up frightened from his sleep and by your perception he notices the man looking at him with an incredulous look, and without thinking about anything else, speaks in his own head.

'Analisys!'
