Oppel walked into the library of the academy of magic somewhat discontent. He headed towards the aisles of books and smiled. It had been some time since he was last in a library, so he felt he should study some magic to make up for his absence. He looked throughtout the shelves for anything to do with nature spells. He spotted one that he had never heard of entitled Nature's Force. He pulled it off of the shelf and headed towards a table to begin reading...

She sat down and opened the old and dusty book. She read quietly but was concentrating deeply. She lifted her head and looked around the huge library. She looked at the time and jumped out of her chair. She had been here to long. She had to leave straight away. She walked quickly down the aisle. She didn't understand why she had lost track of time.

Adsero walked in, passing a women who looked to be in a hurry as she came.. Ever since coming in here her fingers had become twitching. She walked in, found a table, and sat on her hands. When she looked up, there was another person at the table.

demus had been following adsero, not because he was doing that, but he had been here reading up on the ways of this new land, and had noticed her taking books off of the shelfs and putting them under her cloak, he knew how this went, she of course was likely unaware that she was even taking them, he assumed that if all went as usuall, she would drop a handfull of books on the ground soon, he figured he would pick them up for her and return them to their place of origin...he also thought to himself that he might see what she was up to on this day...

Bimestris looked up from her table and noticed the few books falling out from under Adsero's cloak. She smiled to herself and made a guess at how long it would take for her to relize she was gathering a collection of books.

Adsero looked down at the books falling from under her cloak. As she bent to pick up the books, she noticed Demus walking behind her. She placed the books on the table and turned to face him. "Are you stalking me light boy?" She smiled.

"No, merely cleaning up after you" he too had a hand full of books that he had picked out to read,and one he had picked up that adsero had knocked over in a failed attempt to nab by her hands..."Pesky little devils arent they?, your hands"...he smiled and placed the books on a near by table...."i had hoped to discover the meaning of my name, might you be of any assistance?"

Adsero thought for a minute. "I'm not sure. I only have a minimal knoledge of the language. Slaves are not allowed to learn the old tounge. My fingers have too many years of training to go back now. I'm really thirsty for some reason." Adsero pulled out a flask. "Rum? If you don't like that I have cider, ale, whisky, just about everything but water."

"I take you came across a unattended bar eh?" he said with a smile"i do not partake thank you....","do you know the other that is watching us and laughing?"

Adsero looked behind her and there was Bimestris. "Bimestris, Did you follow me!" Dispite her harsh voice she gigled. "I do think I have become some sort of public amusement now. 'come! See the kleptic slave gather things without her knowing!' I could make a living."

After nearly finishing the book, Oppel looked up from the dark black print upon the fine pages and noticed that many more people had entered the library since he had arrived a little while ago. Oppel then focused his attention back onto the book, which he was somewhat tired of reading. He neatly folded the corner of the page before he closed it up and got up from his seat. He slowly yet gracefully walked over towards a shelve of many books on nature, and set it in an unoccupied space. He paused and sighed as he began searching among the shelves for yet another book.

demus noticed the man reading the nature books, and told adsero he would be back in a minute.....he then walked to the man, stood next to him and spoke softly at the mans ear, asking the man he now assumed was the god of nature..."have you any knowledge of the one known as Kuya?"....he paused for less than a second,"or better yet, do you have any issues with him that might be solved by his death?"

Oppel cocked an eyebrow as he turned to face Demus. "Do you so mean that you are planning the demise of the god of day?" Oppel had never heard such foolishness, as it would be nearly impossible for a mortal to kill an immortal. "If so, then no I have no reason to support his death." He felt quite awkward in this situation. He didn't even know the man who was asking him something rather odd, something that he would most likely still find odd if asked by a close friend.

"do you support this being you considder godly, kuya?" demus asked of the god, hoping not to anger the god, as he had enough to deal with already......"if so then , my good man, i have nothing more to say to you, i bid you good day" with that he assumed the answer and turned towards adsero to tell her good bye..

Adsero shook her head and walked over to the god and Demus. "Demus, what are you doing?" Gods would probably stick together. Duh!

demus walked past her with a angered look on his face and a similer tone in his voice as he said to her,"nothing these fools do not understand power.....they do not understand what it is that they say of him behind his back....this is why i never offer fools my assistance....i should not have done it for him...." as he walked past adsero, he wispered into her ear "all is as it should be meet me soon in the ruins i will be at the first place we met...."

"so this is what the library look like" as he took in the atmosphere. "I wonder if I can find any writing on holy magic." Vines turned left between shelfs stacked high in the air with books ranging from common healing spells to summoning spells, and stories books to books of history. time passed by and vines still seem to not have a book in his hand. "Man! what is up with this place, their seems to be no book of my liking here." Just as that moment as strong blow from the back hit Vines in the head. Vines almost falling to the ground turn around, mad and ready to kick some ass, with is vocie booming "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, DEGENERATE!" Turning around and seeing that their was no one made Vines quickly realize that people were looking and that the library not a place for those kinds of outbusts. Red in the face Vines notices a book next to his feet. Picking the book up his softening, "So you are the one who attack me?" Looking up at the shelf of books in front of him and trying to see where the book had fallen from but it was no use. The book was gray with blue triming around the edges. "I think I shall read you, my friend" as he walked to find a place to sit and read his new friend.

Adsero turned to see a man yelling. Then he picked up a book and sat down. She followed him over to where he sat and stared, putting the new pile of books she had acedentally collected. "Are you ok?"

Vines sitting down and reading up on a spell named Bless. "Are you ok?” a soft famine voice interrupted his reading. Looking up at the lady, “No, no problem here young lady. Vines pulling back a chair for her, “this chair next to me is open, if you like.” Continuing to read his book, “Those books you have look heavy....sit, and enjoy one of those book, your arms look like they could use the rest.”

Adsero laughed. "For some reason they always want to take large, heavy objects. I'm not here to read really. Accually, I don't know why I'm here. Guess I hoped I wouldn't try to steal books." She looked at the pile. "And I was aparently wrong." She looked around her. "Very tempting to burn though. I won't of course, but the option is still there."

With out looking up, "thats all nice but seems to me you are a bit odd." Vines stopping his reading and looking up at the women, "Now that's not to say being odd is a good or bad thing." Vines getting up from the table and picking up the book he was reading as he said, "oddness has nothing to do with the goodness or badness of a person." Putting his hand out to her, "My name is Vines and what is you name?" Walking away from the lady, "I'm done reading this book and so I'm going to back it. I'll be right back" Vines walks away to put his book back and to find an another"

Vines sets the book back on the shalf from where it fall not really knowing from what part of that shalf in came. unpo walking back to the lady with all the book to come to find out she was no where to be found. Where could she have gone Vines thought to him self. Vines thought to him self that he should go look around to library and see what other books the library had to offer

Oppel was still quite shocked that he had been asked to fight against the honourable Kuya, but thought about just how rediculous such a thing would be. He walked over to a nearby table an pulled out a chair. Before he sat down, he saw a man not to far away who looked like he was thinking about something. He smirked as he looked at the man, and then turned to walk towards the nearest shelf of books. Once he was behind the books where no one could see him, he changed his form into that of another man so that he wouldn't be recognisable as the god Oppel. He then walked from behind the shelf in a human form, and headed towards the man he had just seen. "Hello sir," he spoke carefully trying to sound differently than he did in his normal voice.

Vines turned around to see a short middle aged man with no hair that talked kind of funny. A long time student of the holy ways Vines learned the ability to see the truth of smiple thing such as a man or woman's alignment. In other word the path that persons soul has chosen to live by -I don't know what it is about this guy but he seems to be a little off. Their is some thing that don't seem right about this guy.- The man's soul seem to be surrounded in magic. But what got Vines the most was the man's alignment seemed to be not good or bad, Vines knowing that every man's soul has some good and some bad in it, but this man's soul seem to have neither good or bad in it. -This man must not be a man at all.- Responding to the man or what ever it was, "Hello to you good sir." Shaking the man's hand Vines got a look at the man's weapon. -I know of that weapon...yes I know....its the Oaken Saber, the sword of the god of nature. Well what is this man doing with that sword...unless he took it from the god of nature.- Vines reacting quickly he grabed the Oaken Saber from the man's side and pointed the blade at the middle aged man, "I don't know how you got this sword but it's not yours and the owner would not just give it away." -The only way Oppel would had let his sword part from him is if he were dead...but only another god cuold have the power to kill a god. With the blade still on the man Vines ask him, "I don't know who you are but you better tell me who you are... if you don't I shall do Oppel the favor of cutting your head off for taking the Oaken Saber and don't think I won't do it...this sword has the power of the god of nature flowing through it, so you better start telling me who you are and what you have done to Oppel. -If Oppel was here I would give this blade to him so he could cut off this theif's head for taking his sword.-

Oppel smirked, as he had forgotten he had be carrying the Oaken Saber. Using a force of his mind, a green light overcame his body and he changed back to his original self as Oppel, God of Nature. "Your truly a wise man indeed," He spoke as his regular self which resembled nothing of the man he had been hiding as, "No one has ever found out who I was by looking at my weapons." The man was wise, and he liked that. He only hoped the mans heart was pure and not corrupted by evil. "Now please, my sword." he said as he held out his hand. Despite the fact that he had put a nearly unbreakable bind on the sword to keep others from harvesting his powers, it took him a very long time and a great amount of trust before he let another hold it.

Vines looked at the man. "whoo so this is why you had the sword you were oppel along. Well in that case here is you sword." Vines turning the sword the way and handing it back to Oppel. "I guess gods like to walk around as common people. So what are you doing here. I'm trying to look for books on white magic."
