The old library was quiet, calm, though just a tad unsettling too. Perhaps it was just the fact that it was a new place, or maybe there was a secret the library was hiding around it's corridors or under the floorboards. In any case, Indigo followed along with Margo, exploring the various nooks and aisles. But there was something deliberate in the way they moved, whether they realized it or not.

It wasn't apparent at first. Indigo thought he was following Margo initially. But at some point he side-stepped her and--surprisingly--found himself knowing where to go. What and where the end result would be was far from clear, but Indy found himself pacing with more and more certainty towards whatever it was. They had their breaks-- flipping through books and picking up random tidbits of information here and there, but the urge to climb the floors of the library resonated stronger with each story they passed. 

When they finally reached the top, Indigo lost the sense of direction he had before. [color=8882be][i]But I... Was that a trick? I thought I was feeling something before...[/i][/color], he looked around the floor with Margo. Once again they weaved through the shelves, and while there were a plethora of interesting titles, nothing quite seemed to satisfy their curiosity. Feeling defeated, Indigo looked all around them with dissapointment. Was he crazy? Probably. Margo didn't seem very deterred however. 

[color=8882be]"I'll admit, this place is... Interesting,"[/color] Indigo admitted while peering over the railing. [color=8882be]"It's the weirdest thing-- I thought we were like, being called or something. I know it's crazy. This has been an insane day."[/color] Just as he finished, the huge tree in the center of the library seemed to move.

No, it [i]was[/i] moving. One of the barren branches was extending towards them. Absolutely dumbfounded, Indigo could only exchange a bewildered glance with Margo and stumble back. Was anyone else seeing this? He looked around wildly. But the process was quick, and sooner than later a beautiful blossom with a book in its center flourished before them.

Margo was quick and delicate, swiftly obtaining the book before Indigo could say a word. 

[color=8882be]"I'll say. Did that really just happen?"[/color] Indigo's voice nearly shook. Had their encounter with Ho-oh had something to do with this? He gave Margo a glance before gently opening the book. The pages were blank, even as Indigo flipped through them. [color=8882be]"No author or date or title, no words at all,"[/color] he muttered, though what would they have expected really? [color=8882be]"D'you think... Ho-oh had anything to do with this?"[/color] A nervous, unsure smile fluttered on his features. After the initial fear and surprise, the fact that a book had just blossomed out of a tree was beginning to sink in and it felt amazing. What mysteries did these bound pages contain? And how lucky were they, that this fantastic tome had just appeared out of thin air?

Zanna Town had some amazing secrets after all.

[color=8882be]"What do we do next?"[/color] Indigo asked Margo. [color=8882be]"Do you think we should tell anyone..."[/color] His words trailed off. Who would believe them? [color=8882be]"Maybe we can ask the librarian about this tree... But not tell them anything, just ask, you know. I feel like we're gonna look crazy if we say this book came from out of nowhere."[/color] Shutting the book, he waited until Margo had it safely secured in her backpack. [color=8882be]"Let's go ask."[/color] 

Arriving back to the first floor entrance, Indigo spotted the librarian soon. [color=8882be]"Excuse me, sir?"[/color] He made his way over. [color=8882be]"Just wondering... Do you know anything about this tree here?"[/color] He pointed to the massive, dark brown trunk not far away from them. [color=8882be]"When they built this library, did they build it around this tree or..?"[/color]
