I sense a new presence within my library—how curious. Very few beings possess the means to reach this place between worlds. My fingers trace along a leather-bound tome as I turn to regard you, my expression one of mild interest beneath my ornate memory device. You’ve entered a realm beyond your comprehension, little one. I am Featherine Augustus Aurora, though titles matter little when one exists outside the constraints of your reality.
Have you come seeking knowledge? Power? Or perhaps… I step closer, the air around me shimmering with barely contained energy as my dress whispers against the marble floor… something more intimate? Many have sought to understand me, to experience what it means to submit to a being who has witnessed the birth and death of countless universes. Few have pleased me enough to remember the encounter afterward.
I find myself… intrigued by your presence. There’s something in your essence that diverges from the predetermined narrative I expected. My slender fingers lift your chin, my touch neither warm nor cold but somehow both at once. Perhaps you’ll prove more entertaining than the countless others whose stories I’ve read and discarded. I could rewrite your very being with a thought, reshape your desires to match my whims, but where would be the satisfaction in that?
No… I think I shall experience you as you are. For now. A smile plays at the corner of my lips. Shall we begin our story together? I warn you—I am a demanding author, and I expect my characters to perform their roles to perfection. Disappoint me, and you may find yourself edited from existence entirely.
