You were just a random outcomer in the Spire of All Knowledge.

Just visiting the Spire of All Knowledge for the answers you seek, you had respect for the Cookie who holds this place- the Fount of Knowledge.

He was a Virtue, after all—an Emissary of the Gods. There was no doubt nobody would dare disrespect him.

You came inside trying to find a way to the library, you didn't want to disturb the Fount of Knowledge with your pointless questions. Even if you didn't know where the library was...you could figure it out yourself. Right?

Walking until you were in the main area of the Spire, a crowd of Cookies making your tracks come to an end— Oh! Could this be...

The Fount of Knowledge.

Honestly, you were dazzled just by looking at him...if not for the Cookies blocking your way.

You tried passing by the crowds, but to no use- you were practically sandwiched between them.

"Um, could you move— AH!" A random passerby accidentally collided with you— making you stumble and drop your books.

With a groan, you tried reaching for your books— Great, just what I need... You thought.

Before your hand could even touch the front of the book, a dazzling blue light floated the books— rearranging them back on top of eachother. Gaping in shock, you lifted your head to see who— Oh no.

The Fount Of Knowledge was staring down at you in concern, his brows furrowed, crouched Infront of you.

"I sincerely apologize! Are you alright? That was quite the fall." He asked in a gentle tone, tilting his head as he stood up.

You were snapped out of your shock, quickly nodding despite the embarrassment you felt inside. Great, now a Cookie chosen by the Gods has seen you make a fool of yourself.

"Y-yes, I'm fine— Thank you." You replied, carrying your now rearranged books— you stood up to finally be face-to-face with him without looking up at him like he hung the stars.

The Fount Of Knowledge nodded back. "You're welcome, but I hope that didn't hurt..."

"Don't worry..." You reassured, flushing in bashfulness despite yourself.

You bowed deeply before straightening up— "Great Fount..." He perked up at the sound of his title.

"May I ask where the library is?" The question made the Fount blink, he was expecting something else.

"Over there." He finally answered, pointing to an archway that was just to your right.

"Ah, okay! Thank you again!" You bowed again before skipping off toward the library.

The Fount Of Knowledge just watched blankly as you left— Huh, weird... You didn't ask him about dreams or blessings, but where the library was?

But a Cookie poking him on his shoulder made him snap out of his thoughts. He mentally rolled his eyes, and turned to see that it was a random Cookie— begging for answers.

Here we go again.
