The trio makes their way back to the kingdom gate in silence. Once they make it to the gate the flags are already down, and the guards are there waiting for them. The three make their way in and head to the throne room. On the way up the stairs Kemen asks Istisna a question "Who do you suppose sent him here to destroy the kingdom?"
"I'm not sure" she responded.
"You know he was very interested in getting your name for a moment there, maybe he was looking for someone." Viera suggested.
" what was it he called you again?" Kemen asked.
"Pungo..... he called me Pungo" Istisna said.
"what do you suppose that means?" Viera asked.
"I'm not sure I haven't read it anywhere in the library yet and I only have one more shelf to go." Istisna said. The twins looked at her their eyes filled with shock.
"You read all those books?"Viera said surprised
"You read books?" Kemen sounding more surprised than Viera.
"Yeah I read!" Istisna snapped as the trio made it to the throne room door. As they walked in Istisna could see their mother pacing, and their father trying to calm her down. Ariala and Terovu ran up to them embracing them.
"We are glad you are okay" Terovu sighed gratefully.
"We thought you had been killed!" Ariala said.
"We are fine mom" Kemen said to reassure her.
"How did you all manage to bring him down you were clearly out matched?" Terovu asked.
"Well, It was Istisna's idea." Viera said turning to her sister. Her mother looked very impressed.
"I know that your final tests are tomorrow, but I am going to speak to the general about some different arrangements." Ariala said.
" Is it okay if I go to the library?" Istisna asked.
"Yeah us too?" Viera added.
"Yes that is fine" Ariala responded slightly confused. The three padded off in the direction of the library quickly. "What do you think the general is going to do?"Kemen asked.
"I'm not sure? All I know is I'm a little shaken up and I'm terrified of not passing the trials."Viera said.
"I'm sure it will be fine guys, I mean we did just save the kingdom from udder destruction"Istisna said smiling trying to make her siblings feel better.
"You mean you just saved the kingdom" Kemen said.
"Yeah you need to explain to us what went on out there." Viera said
Istisna lets out a exaggerated sigh "Okay, okay.... it's along story and its better to show to you than to explain it. After we skim the rest of the books we can split up to do what we normally would, then meet me at the brook in the woods."
The twins nod and the three enter the library. The library is massive and could hold three million books easily with room to spare. Though it is detached from the rest of the castle it is magnificent and peaceful. The corners are supported by six massive oak trees, making It seem as if the library was built into the trees. The canopy covers the glass ceiling, but lets in a lot of natural light.

Istisna made her way to one corner of the library. This corner was different from the rest, it was darker and had one small short shelf containing about ten books. The oak tree that held up this corner looked older than the rest and had a small hollow near the base of its trunk. Istisna took the books off of the shelf and spread them over the floor. Alright lets get started Istisna said glancing at the twins. Kemen sighed "Do I have to read? I mean I dont really care what Pungo means" Viera's paw made a solid thud as it hit the back of Kemen's head. "Hmm just like I thought hollow as a log, maybe if you read something might start to fill that empty space." Viera teased.
"Maybe you should" Kemen growled.
"Guys please you're acting like a bunch of kittens" Istisna said giving them a stern look. "Besides if we all read we can get done faster"
The twins nodded and started to read. Istisna let out an exaggerated sigh "Do you even know what you're looking for?"
The twins glanced at each other for a moment "Pungo?" they both said completely confused. Istisna shook her head "You are a bunch of kittens."
"Look for anything that has to do with a prophecy, Ny'Venes, or this symbol" she said giving them a small piece of paper with an odd symbol sketched on it in black ink. "What does this mean?" Kemen said looking at the symbol. "That's what we are looking for" Istisna said bluntly. "It was painted on that NyVenes back in bright red, so it may be important." she continued.The twins nodded and the three began to read.

A few hours past and the last book was placed back on the shelf. "Really, nothing we read all those books and nothing." Viera said
"When are we ever going to need to know how to calm a Giffi?" Kemen said.
"I don't know, maybe one day you will "Viera said looking exhausted
"It could be worse, we could be dead" Istisna said trying to keep things positive. At that moment what seemed like a whisper escaped the hollow. "What was that?" Viera said with a concerned look. Suddenly the hollow began to glow with a faint purple light. Istisna walked slowly toward the hollow and the light grew brighter. She reached in and pulled out an old book. The book had a leather cover and was covered in moss. In the center of the book there was a bright purple stone, as the light from the stone dimmed it faded into a dark purple, almost black. Vines wrapped tightly around the stone keeping it in place, and a large vine wrapped around the books center like a latch. "Well open it!" Viera shouted enthusiastically. Istisna struggled to open the book pulling at the vine. "I don't know how! This vine is not moving and there is no other way to open it!" Istisna said clearly frustrated. Suddenly a horn sounded from the castle. "We need to go, Ill put this in my room and we can try to open it tonight." Istisna said as she picked up the book, and the three made their way out of the library.

Captain of the Guard

Istisna tossed the book onto the couch in her room and joined the twins in the hall. The three walked to the throne room to see their parents sitting and talking to the Captain of the Guard. "Come we have good news" Their mother said. the three walked forward standing opposite of the guard. He glanced at the them and walked up to Kemen. "Kemen Astor" he said as he laid something wrapped in a faded tan cloth cloth. "Viera Astor" he said and laid another cloth down in front of Viera. He now stood in front of Istisna he paused for a moment before continuing "Istisna Astor" he said and backed up to stand in front of all three of them. Istisna looked at her siblings and the cloths at their feet, then it struck her. They were being presented their armor, and fear flooded Istisna's thoughts. Oh no... no not now!she thought as she glanced at her feet Did they see me? No they couldn't have. as she looked at her feet she noticed that the Guard did not give her a cloth. If I don't have my armor that means they are going to execute me!. Istisna began to panic and she looked from their mother to her siblings, suddenly she noticed that the Guard had been speaking. ".... You may uncover your armor and wear it with pride" he said and then turned to Istisna "Istisna, for protecting our kingdom I would like to present you with with a special armor" he walked around the corner of the throne and returned with an armor such a light blue it almost looked white " It was made using some of the strongest scales of the Ny'Vene you three took down. Oh and the Twins armor is made from the gold bands on his horns" the Guard said.
"Well put it on" Terovu said
Istisna and the twins put on the armor they had been given. Though it looked uncomfortable, it was very flexible and not too heavy. No wounder the guards wear their armor all the time, it is really comfortable. Istisna thought as she stretched.

"You three can go to your rooms if you wish" Ariala said, and the three went to their rooms. Istisna walked into her room and curled up on the couch. Well that was frighting she thought as she laid her head on her forearms. Just to think I could have been sentenced to death, but instead they were going to give me my own armor, She took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. There was a loud crack outside her door and she jumped to her feet, but stayed on the couch. a light purple fog crept under the door spreading quickly across the floor. The fog began to form in one place, and eventually was in the shape of a Lupora. The Lupora let out a mighty howl that shook the entire castle. then Istisna noticed something the stone on the book was glowing, and the vine around its center was now surrounded the stone. The Lupora's howl seemed to be coming from everywhere, and continued to grow louder, and suddenly the books paged flew open. Istisna woke up in a panic glancing wildly around her room, everything was normal. The book laid beside her on the couch, its secrets still sealed shut. She glanced out the window and noticed it was dark. she quickly grabbed a cloth sling pouch she had and gently placed the book inside, before bolting out of the room.

..."I'm not sure I haven't read it anywhere in the library yet and I only have one more shelf to go." Istisna said. The twins looked at her their eyes filled with shock.
"You read all those books?"Viera said surprised
"You read books?" Kemen sounding more surprised than Viera.
"Yeah I read!" Istisna snapped... This cracks me up xD love it

Ahhh I love this story! I hope there's lots more to come.

Interesting...I wonder where Istisna found the time to read all of those books
