-Now that was a fine meal. Who knew the Library had restaurants?

So, did you get everything you needed to know? You looked deep in thought after I came back.

Excellent! Do you have a way to reach that realm yet?

Oh, I see. I'm sure in time, if you keep looking around the Library, you'll find the Way you need. I'm glad we were able enjoy some dinner together.

Who knew Herrerasaurus Steak could taste so good in shark blood?

Well, I'm off now. It was fun talking to you-er…

Ah, that's a lovely name. Thanks for telling me.

Oh, I might as well give mine before I go.

You can call me Alison.

With a grin and a skip, Alison leaves down a stairway, her black dress gently shaking side to side.

She's been a good friend since you came to the library weeks ago.

Taking a moment to stretch and scratch your ears, tail briefly wagging, you sit down on a nearby chair and take off a backpack. You set it onto a wooden table like many others in the Library.

Briefly, you wonder where they get the wood.

Opening the backpack, you take out several documents.

One shows a picture of smiling young woman with long black hair draped over her shoulders. Hugging her is a younger girl with short white hair.

The woman is your sister.

You are the younger girl.

If not for the cat like tails and ears, the slitted golden eyes, alongside the fur growing around your legs and sleeves, one would think you two were humans.

You're not human- (in some circles, you kind are known as forked cats) but your species, among others, knows a few tricks to hide your true nature. Perhaps that's why the Library and other locations are considered such a haven: You're kind can be their true selves without any fear of repercussions.

Speaking of repercussions-

You spread out the next set of documents, brushing some longer white hair out of your eyes.

Log of Anomalous Items Page #67

Foreword: The SCP Foundation has discovered a substantial number of items which are simply too useless to merit further attention. This document lists those items which have prompted some curiosity. It may be used as a resource should knowledge of these items become useful or necessary in the future.

– Dr. █████ █████, Head of Research, Site ██

Item Description: An approximately five foot long blade which is decorated with and fused with the miniaturized bodies of approximately 666 female winged humanoids. Humanoid parts described as "Fleshy" on contact. Has four eyes and one center eye that observes all who pass by it. Object occasionally emits a high pitched noise when confronted with [REDACTED]. Use against [DATA EXPUNGED] tissue samples have proven promising. SCP classification pending once experiment is cleared for testing.

To better understand the phenomena in [DIMENSION REDACTED], permission has been granted to the MTF dignitary forces to use SCP-978, or the "Desire Camera" on certain individuals and entities. This will be done in cooperation with the Special Protection Force, the other worlds equivalent to the Foundation.

Don't fuck this up, Kondraki. You too, Bright.

We need all the information we can to contain SCP-[EXPUNGED BELOW SENIOR STAFF CLEARANCE]

-O5-██

These were the last things you found on your sisters bed. The same night she disappeared.

You've been looking for her, ever since that day. What first gave you pause when you saw those documents was exactly who was writing them.

The Foundation.

The Jailors.

A shiver quietly crawls up your spine. Your kind know's the Foundations existence quite well, along with many other similar non-human species. They are an organization dedicated to hiding and studying the supernatural, and they will do anything for this purpose.

To your kind, they are almost like an omnipresent boogeyman, one that parents tell their children about to make them behave. One that insures kind very rarely ventures into big cities or towns, lest the Jailors find you and put you in a box for the rest of your life.

Having lived in a human city for much of your life, you are not sure how you and your sister managed to avoid getting captured by them or any other nebulous civilization for so long.

So why were SCP Foundation documents on your sisters bed? No, she couldn't have been kidnapped by them. If the Foundation was after you both they wouldn't have played these sort of mind games. They would have snatched you from your bed in the middle of the night.

You're second thought is that she was a part of the Foundation, but that's not possible either. They would have never let a non-human into their ranks.

At least, that's what you believed before reading a document that apparently revealed that the Jailors were now working with an entire realm of non-humans. You yourself are not sure what to believe.

The last document was simple, just six words on a blank sheet.

"FIND THE WAY BEYOND THE GLASS."

It must have been luck, but the first piece of glass you checked was the large mirror in your Bathroom apartment. Sure enough, you pulled it to the side and found a Way, one of many hidden entrances to the enigmatic Wanderers' Library.

Was your sister a member of the Serpent's Hand? You knew that group wanted to protect non-human beings, and they have protected your kind and helped them hide from humans before.

You yourself aren't really sure what to believe anymore. All you know is that after entering your way, you found yourself in the infamous Library. After some time wandering around, trying to set your dropped jaw back into place, you finally checked some of the name's mentioned in the documents. For some reasons, "Gnome" and "Salamander" really stuck out to you. You found a Librarian who helped point you in the right direction, and sure enough you found tons of books of Elemental lore. It was later Alison who pointed you in the right direction, helping you find that book on their pasts by that Abrahamic Author. His name was הגאון של המילה הכתובה. Your not sure what it translates to in Hebrew, "High Script" or something like that?

Either way, there's the matter of what to do now. You're not sure if your sister left these clues or someone else. Your not sure if someone's trying to play a game with you or if this is some sort of genuine attempt to help you out.

What you do know is that the Foundation, this Heinrich character (come to think of it that ending sort of felt like a story and less like a written document. Was the writer of it somehow there when it happened?) and the realm full of Monster Girls is relevant to wherever your sister has gone.

You don't know where to find that place in the slightest. But come Hell or high water, you will find her. She's the only family you have.

-END

And so the the protagonist is finally revealed.

Her journey has just begun.
