00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.419
Arya's boots echoed softly against the obsidian floor

00:00:03.419 --> 00:00:05.419
as she stepped into the grand spiral

00:00:05.419 --> 00:00:05.900
tower.

00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.480
Overhead, the vaulted ceiling stretched into a dizzying

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.960
abyss of stars and shifting constellations,

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:13.900
but it was the center of the room

00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:15.599
that truly took her breath away.

00:00:16.339 --> 00:00:19.199
Hundreds of leather -bound volumes drifted lazily through

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.300
the air like schools of golden -finned

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.079
fish suspended in the gentle eddies of an

00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:24.960
invisible breeze.

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.980
She walked toward the towering bookshelves that lined

00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:30.019
the curving walls, their mahogany

00:00:30.019 --> 00:00:32.340
frames stretching up endlessly into the shadows.

00:00:32.979 --> 00:00:36.299
As she approached, faint, sapphire runes flared to

00:00:36.299 --> 00:00:38.320
life along the spine of the nearest shelf,

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.840
pulsing with a warm, welcoming rhythm.

00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.679
This was the heart of the magical library,

00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:46.320
a repository of forgotten epics where the

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.100
books practically begged to be read, fluttering their

00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:50.920
bookmark ribbons like eager hands.

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.359
Reaching out, Arya whispered an ancient incantation, and

00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.439
a heavy tome bound an emerald velvet

00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.179
detached itself from a high shelf and drifted

00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:02.119
slowly downward into her waiting palms.

00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:05.219
As she opened the cover, shedding a soft

00:01:05.219 --> 00:01:08.019
luminescence across her face, the quiet hum of

00:01:08.019 --> 00:01:08.480
the tower

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.659
seemed to lean in, ready to tell its

00:01:10.659 --> 00:01:11.680
next great story.
