Alyssum de Fonte

The afternoon sky dripped into a grayish blue as the sun sank down in the west, preparing for another trip around the world, but it was only starting to sink. It was quite dry, with clouds dancing across the atmosphere, but bitter winds chilled the almost still air. Almost still. A pair of bipedal steps softly pattered against the cracked cement, though the sound was cushioned by paw pads. It was a young optime girl, about the age of fifteen, an old side bag tapping against her hip, filled with inkwells, a crow quill, a few pieces of parchments, and a hefty book. The Luperci was making her way through the hushed streets, a little skip in her step as she hurried. She wanted to make it back home before it was too dark, since who know's what she will do if she got lost in the night. Alyssum de Fonte of the Mudbloods clan approached the famed Dalhousie University, recognizing it by the characteristics she was told; tall, ivy-colored building. As if it was half made by nature, half made by the mysterious humans.

Alyssum took a few breaths for her slightly accelerated heart rate to go down. She feared, even though this was neutral territory, that she may have strayed into Ravenclaw's territory, since she learned that they held a portion of Halifax. But, it seemed that she stayed away from their borders, and with a small, calm smile, she stepped up to the building, pushing the worn doors open. It seemed empty, or at least she didn't hear anyone with her large, coyote ears. She continued down the long entry corridor, until going off into a hallway that lead to another section of the building. Finally, she spotted door large doors, with the word 'Library' fadedly printed at the top. Again, she pushed the large doors apart, and gawked at what she saw. She thought back when she concluded that her Basic Structure of the English Language and Grammar book was the biggest book she seen, and she realized how wrong she was. Shelf upon shelf was books of different sizes, colors, lengths, and form filled the entire room, all covered in either a heavy or thin layers of dust. Alyssum took in a slow breath, her stomach quivering in excitement at the prosperity of the information that lined the large room.

As much as she wanted to basically live in this wondrous land call the library, she knew she couldn't stay here all day. She quickly took out her own book, Basic Structure of the English Language and Grammar, and started to run through the shelves, looking for a certain topic. Whenever she got caught off guard by a certain word, she would just pop open her own book to the dictionary section and define the word. When she finally found the section of aerodynamics, that's when her small smile grew. Then, she started to pull books out, flipping through the delicate papers carefully, as to not to rip them. But, they all seem not to be about what she was looking for. They were all about different type of planes, which Alyssum had no interest for. She continued her search, skimming through a book about planes used in the early 1990s, a stack of other books pilled next together.
