[size=5][b] Introduction[/b] [/size]
Well hello there! You appear a touch lost... Welcome to the Library of Living books! Our clan is special in a slightly insane manner. You see; this place was originally intended to be a library. In an incident involving an inter dimensional interloper and an eldritch being--we have been ever so slightly cursed. It appears that our favorite books have swallowed us whole! Particular dragons in our clan show traits and qualities of the books they cherish.
It's certainly no bother! I am fascinated by this phenomena, as a scientist and a scholar. I would love to observe and document everything related to our situation. I may need some help in this situation however. Please do be careful of the books on our shelves though... they come and go as they wish.

[b]Our Library[/b]
In a large labyrinthine cave, Viola founded a library. A mass collection of knowledge, the clan kept the dangerous information secret. However, books would disappear from the shelves and some replaced with entirely different tomes.
It became apparent that the cave shared guests alongside the clan. Dubbed "Void Walkers" these beings lived in spaces between dimensions. Items--most often books-- phased in and out of the Library. When Viola opened one of the mystery books, the fate of the library was set. Dragons were swallowed whole by their books; and when the reappeared, they carried the traits of their texts.

[font=Vivaldi][size=5]The Void Walkers [/font]
Beings that live in the spaces between dimensions. Items from several dimensions can phase in and out within the physical spaces they inhabit. They like to live in closed spaces. In special lighting, their reflective eyes are the only indicator of their presence. Not much is known about these creatures, their physical appearance, behavior, and motives are unknown.
Due to the presence of these creatures, our library is truly gifted.
We can only assume this cavern is a location of similar libraries--and/or empty tunnels-- throughout several dimensions. Catalogued books will disappear from our shelves and be replaced by new, sometimes completely foreign books. These new books should be treated with caution, lest an even worse curse befalls us.
[center][emoji=crescent moon 2 size=1][/center]
[emoji=old parchment size=1]This begs the question... I (Viola) started this library. Was this decision born of free will? Or did fate have a role in this tale?
We believe their originator and/or mother resides in this area. An absolutely terrifying creature, but has caused us little intentional harm. We all decided NOT to pursue investigations into this horror.
[emoji=old parchment size=1] What if a bunch of void walkers digging tunnels in between dimensions is responsible for stuff popping in or out of existence as they fall in?
[emoji=old parchment size=1]Alternatively, maybe it's like sewing. The tunnels act as stitches between planes to hold them together. It paradoxically makes both planes more stable because they use each other as a backbone.

[i]Her story gives her power. A wide variety of abilities, from supernatural strength, stamina, and senses to the control of others' emotions, to the ability to push and pull on metal objects like a living magnet. When she uses these powers on a foggy night, the mist seems to move and flow alongside her, as if it comes to her aid. Her fringed cloak flowing behind her, she flies almost invisibly through the night.[/i]

Our local Librarian Moonsing struggles with keeping the library in order! Her one task is thwarted by the very nature of the place. She is always happy to provide sources and the IRL inspiration to our "living books". A dragon must do something to stay sane as a librairian with books that wont stay put!

Rubkia was born on the softest mosses the forest could offer. The child of Coleus, he shared the same love of plant life. Flowers being his favorite, when they wilted he suffered. Named after sunflowers, his personality is a bright as they are. Rubkia currently works on flower preservation, and refuses to watch them wither. While some would say that is the way of life, he insists on a brighter future.

Odilia is top tier Mom friend material. She cares deeply for everyone in her circle. While quite grumpy at times, those who know her understand she means well. First friend of Viola, she cared for her when she was ill. Odilia helped the Library begin, and carved out most of the spaces within the cave. She is the one to see Viola's vision through. Watching the clan grow, she cannot help but care for all those within it.

The shrieking wilds; a place of beauty, and the horror of pure natural might. Generations of past rot in the undergrowth. The canopy is alight with bright wings and winds. Diving into the shrubs, one can find a sharp pair of eyes peering into the forest clearing. They are here to watch, guard and protect. No one must know of the great treasure hidden below, and if they searched a swift death will follow.
Through a small hole in the ground, you’ll find a winding, labyrinthine tunnel stretching for miles. A drop of dew forms on a stalactite...falls, and lands on a ghostly nose.
She sneezes and then plunges into clear pool. Swimming and swimming through underground rivers , she reaches the main chamber. The warm light of magical torches dance along the walls,and she pokes her head above the water surface. The watery dragon is greeted by a bellowing voice, echoing across the rocky tunnels.
“What do you mean I can’t bring corpses in here anymore!?“ A ghastly Wildclaw appeared truly distressed.
“First of all, it’s just not sanitary,” a brown speckled Imperial yelled, “Secondly, you’re little projects are drawing the bugs from my garden!”
“But how am I--”
“That’s ENOUGH! The both of you stop yelling!!”
A surly female voice roared through the tunnels. The two dragons shrunk. They decided to take their argument outside lest they face the wrath of the voice’s owner. The swimming dragon sighed and sank into the depths.
