The sob of the old man was not unheard, nor was his sorrow unanswered. Light footsteps approached him in the library, a lithe figure sat down beside him and put her small hand on his narrow bony back. 
 
Dzel spoke. “Herbert… It is okay to be sad...” 
 
“... Everything is changing, Herbert.” She said her voice soft. “It is in the nature of everything to change.” She said. “Yet, you can still decide how... I wonder who you will become now that you have a second chance...”

Things around them changed. A pink light rippled across the walls. Magic runes infused into the steel. Warning everyone within of a breech. It pulsed three times… Then… as if short circuiting, fizzled out. Leaving the library lonesome and dark once again.
