Welcome to Gaia! ::

There is a Reliquiant sized door in the baseboard of the west wall in the training room. Upon entering it all the noise from outside disappears. Looking around you see all kinds of seating, there's some for those who just want to curl up with a good book and there are some for those that want to study and take notes. on the opposite wall you see a large counter with a sign on it. You walk over to see that it says:



On the right wall is a large bookshelf labeled, "Fiction" and to find the book you are looking for just state the title or Author and those books will appear for you to look through. On the left wall is another large bookshelf only this one is labeled "Non-Fiction". You use it the same way as the other shelf. When you have finished with a book just set it down and it shall return from where it came from.

*nods in satisfaction* I do hope everyone will enjoy this. *goes to sit in one of the comfy chairs and starts reading one of his books*

Having still not found the playbook Valentine snatched, Bliss wandered down the halls on the back of Lancelot. The library was somewhere nearby, she just didn't remember where. Curse her memory. She had been there once, she had been sure she would be able to find it again.

Bliss might have passed the place by if Lancelot hadn't gotten curious and ignored her heed to keep moving. He sniffed at a room, pushing the door open more to reveal what had been turned into the library. Smiling a bit, Bliss stroked his orange fur. "Lucky thing."

Slipping from his back, Bliss moved about the library, trying to figure out the right section to find the book that she needed.

"Hello to you too Cirru. I suppose I'm doing fine. Just in search of another copy of Romeo and Juliet, for the play coming up. Val took off with my copy and I haven't seen it since." Bliss smiled lightly. "I'm thinking of trying out for a bit part in the play, maybe the nurse or something, who knows, maybe someone's mother. How are you these days?"

Wiping his nose he entered the room he had usually ignored. A room full of books... so boring and empty. Sending Namir off to rest he entered and took a seat eyeing the books that surrounded him. He groaned lightly as he layed his head on the table. His eyes stared off at the bookshelf and read off the varous titles that he could see from where he was seated. Most held no interest to him until he found one that had to do with Sai's and techniques. Placing his palms on the table he pushed himself away from the table and sithered over to the bookshelf. The shelf seemed to be quite dusty as if not many of the other reliquiants seemed to enter this silent place. His finger slid up the leather binding to the top to pull it from between the other books. With the book in his hand he returned to where he had sat himself before and opened the book. His eyes went from side to side reading it slowly page by page. On occasion he found some of the words quite difficult and found the aid of a nearby Dictionary to be quite helpful. The room remained silent all but the occasional flip of a page.

::Once again the mage entered the Restful Relic... like many times before she did not pause in the main area where the other's were usually gathered for chit chat and headed around to the back of the building and quietly through several more doors until she reached the library. Already she held several tomes in the curve of her arm... her soft steps whispering over the floor as she'd head towards the reference area.. Nazir, perched on her shoulder... looking bored for a few moments before Within would suggest...

"You do realize that there is a whole section of books on fighting and battle techniques as well as a mass of training guides right over there Nazirqah?..."

...pointing her finger in the direction that the Relinquiant sized books were kept....

...This was one of the few ways that Within would come here, to look at all the books or... if she'd begged and begged her to come... Her guardian was definately difficult to get to leave the Vale.

"Oh, okay!..."

...she was excited now, she didn't know that she could do things like this here... of course, Within had just started allowing her to use the quarter staff in training... now maybe she could look up some things on hand to hand combat too....

"Opal.... opal...."

...Within whispered as she'd run her finger along the bridges fo many books...though something would make her pause and tilt her head... a cat like ear twitching as her nostrils flared... she 'felt' something... and she'd had this feeling before.... moving around the shelves towards the sensation, her steps slow as she'd look around with keen eyes... and swear to the Gods, that she could smell the soft scent of jasmine....::

::The melancholy that filled the room left her with a sudden chill that raced like tiny fingers up and down her spine.. holding back the shudder that came instinctively she'd turn in a slow circle, her eyes slitting into a squint as she'd first spy Rosaline... there was an ache in her chest that she didn't quite understand, the sadness that perfumed the air like jasmine gave her the sense that this was not a dangerous sort of undead... not yet anyway, it was more of a remnant of things lost never to be regained in the translucent form of the ghost that came closer to her...

"Hello..."

...she'd speak in an equally soft tone... her eyes of emerald never leaving the other, even though she felt... that sensation... that pulling... finally though, the half dragon could bear it no longer... sniffing at the air, the jasmine not covering the scents of precious jewels for her as she'd continue to search... offhandedly asking....

"is there someone you're looking for?..."

...she was getting closer... not only from her sense of smell, but the very thrum in her bones that told her another Relinquiant was near and attempting to call out to her...::

::Siianna.... no, she'd never met her... matter of fact she'd not met any of the other guardians save for her own fiancee...

"I'm sorry I do not know who you are talking about."

...she'd motion absently with one of her hands... the long hem of her robe's sleeve fluttered as she'd direct the ghost back towards the main room...

"There is a vampire that sleeps on the couch all the time... and the owner of this place, her name is Lytte from what I have read in her notes... has been away for quite some time... that is the only one that I could think of that could tell you of your friend..."

...she'd stoop down to her knees... behind the desk where it was Sii usually sat... her hand, running over the drawers in the desk as her senses twitched...

"You are, unless your soul is being summoned to rest which I doubt from the strength of your presence, most likely feeling the pull of a Relinquiant... aye, I do feel it, though I hardly think that it could be..."

she was about to say, 'the same' when she'd pause... feeling that tug a bit stronger behind one drawer, she'd attempt to pull it open and find to her ire that it was locked... giving a small huff she'd look about, and then rap the back of her knuckles on the drawer with a soft word in arcane speech, rewarding her with a 'click' and an unlocked drawer that she'd pull out and find....

"Why hello there..."

she did not know the stone on sight, it was an odd sort of thing, dual toned and yes...

"Definately a Relinquiant... I wonder what you were doing in there?..."

...rising up to her feet and finally paying attention to the ghost, she'd lift her eyes and smile...

"See?..." ::
