Entry to an Instagram contest:3
There is a bookstore in Moriel, a small building nestled in between two larger buildings. It goes overlooked for the most part, most people prefer to go to the nearby library to read at no cost.
Only a few select people regular the establishment, the kind of people that would be considered alien to the regular eye. The kind of people that light candles with no match, or clean rooms with no broom.
Magic, as most people call it, is rare, but the bookstore in Moriel is bursting at the seams with it.
Enter and you’ll find small pagelets running amongst the shelves, brooms sweeping by themselves, small faeries flitting around the flowers hanging from the ceiling. If by chance you encounter a regular, they may demonstrate their magic, as long as you take a vow of silence, of course.
Only good willed people are able to enter the magic world inside the bookstore, if it deems you unworthy you will enter an old dusty room of shelves, devoid of any life.
The regulars smile and laugh with the visitors, telling them stories of their adventures, helping them learn simple spell chants that anybody could use.
If you frequent the quaint building, the creatures may crawl onto your shoulders, or tangle themselves into your hair. Don't be afraid though, they won't hurt you. They like to leech off the energy of visitors, replacing any negative feelings with more positive ones, leaving most visitors with an overwhelming sense of calm.
The pagelets lead you around, suggesting books based off of your energy, piling books into your arms. They mean well, they just get carried away, you see.
The old woman behind the front desk is pleasant, giving you a bag of candies laced with fae magic. She will ring up your purchases, and if one of the pagelets seems especially attached to you she might let you take it home, as long as you make sure it is never seen.
Be warned, never take a creature without permission, it will mark you as an enemy. Never pick the flowers from the ceiling, they ooze a toxic blue goo. Never upset a regular, they are sensitive, and might hex you.
Finally, never, ever, steal a book. They are sacred, and you will be killed on sight, along with your immediate family.
