Chapter 8: Maths Test. (2/2)
"Sorry for doubting you, congratulations, you've received a perfect score, enjoy your early break" The teacher nodded, and walked back to his desk Arthur grabbed his stuff and walked out of the classroo in the library for when they finish
Arthur walked down the hallway towards the location of his locker, it was quiet and barren, to think that only half an hour ago this place was bustling with life, in the forers He dumped his books and pencil case in his locker andin his environment, he couldn't quite remember which way the library was, but he was sure he'd find it eventually, he had plenty of spare ti had caused hie sign that reads "Library", naturally assu this to be the correct place, he took a step inside
As he walked inside the library, an older lady rab his attention, "Hey Arthur, I haven't seen you all this week, where have you been?"
"Ah, goodDenise, yeah funny story about that actually, there was an incident in the lab, and I was kind of in the wrong place at the wrong tiet hurt that bad, but you kno h and a brief excuse, this woman Denise was a family friend, and theyout in the library
"Well, as long as you're alright How is your father by the way? I haven't heard much from him recently" Denise started to converse with Arthur for a few minutes, the library was al class time Arthur had to also explain why he was not currently in class, but she understood immediately
After their small talk had come to an end Denise spoke up onceabout was finally returned a couple days ago, it's at the back"
Arthur thanked her, then began walking to the back of the library, he couldn't remember what book he asked about, his memory of this time wasn't perfect, but he did somewhat re this tiy, the scientific study of butterflies and moths
The other two topics he studied both involved plants, one was about medicinal herbs and traditional medicines, and the other was about poisonous plants, that last one he wouldn't bring up to a faet, so she was probably talking about either medical plants or butterflies
When he reached the back aisles, he reached the history section, and a particular book caught his fancy The cover ie was a very familiar scene, an ancient Mayan, or Aztec pyrarown and dilapidated as the ones featured within the gae book and claimed a table in the furthest corner, he sat down and opened the index, it seemed to be an extensive overview on the Mayan and Aztec civilisations Arthur checked the glossary and flipped to the sections that covered the faiths of both civilisations
It mentioned how each culture had Gods that overlapped and the similarities between the faiths, then iteach God individually, without comparisons There were several mentions of familiar names, Gods of death, Gods of rain, Gods of wine And then a very fa for, Quetzalcoatl, the God of life, wind and wisdom
"The rainbow feathered serpent, it seems to be extremely similar, maybe even related to, the Mayan deity Kukulkan, a fellow plumed serpent" Arthur read out loud, he spent severalhis friends approaching his table
"Aztec and Mayan civilisations bored of butterflies already?" Quinn asked while sitting down on the chair beside him, Holly took the chair on the opposite side and leaned in, Arthur remembered Holly was a major history buff In fact, es of beco in to her passionately raether
'Ah, so I was in the butterfly stage, good to know' Arthur thought, causing himself to internally chuckle
