HEADLINE: BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE
Once again, strife fell upon our city on the 5th of September. Fae from beyond suddenly struck down and in one fell swoop, and did the unthinkable; destroyed our library.
Upon arriving, the warriors of this city, and some onlookers, discovered a great crowd of fleeing people. The innocents ran at full haste from hellish monsters, resembling raptors with eyestalks growing out of their backs. These terrible creatures savagely attacked and ate people in droves.
After a short battle with these beasts, the monsters began to explode, causing huge blazes in several places around the city. Suddenly, reports that the library was a victim of the battle, set ablaze by the suicidal freaks.
This endearing icon of this city, such an ageless structure, and a strong mark of the endurance was destroyed in an explosive eruption. The loss was great, not only in the building, itself, previously thought indestructible, but in potential lives. Many were pulled from the blaze, but some were unfortunately lost.
In the intervening days, the city stood numb, shocked by what had transpired. Several Convergence Citizens recounted events, unsure if it had even been real.
But Convergence, ever the enigma, surmounted the trial. It seemed neither the city, nor the library, itself would give up. Books of all subjects, rained down from the sky. Tomes of all importance fell, sometimes upon an unfortunate soul. There was no particular theme to the books, it was as if the library was merely upended, and all fell out.
The raining books served only as an indication of what was to come next. Brick by brick, the library, as those who attend it know well, began to repair itself. Late in the night, its self repair continued until completion, where it stood as an abiding, if stubborn, beacon of knowledge.
As if called by some unknown voice, the books that had fallen and scattered about the city disappeared, only to return to their rightful home in the newly reformed library. There are no reports if the books are in proper order. Though, some jokingly suggest the mystery books should be facing pages-side out.
