<em>Azrael and Xar. Keep : 1st floor : Library. ( East wall )</em><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://www.hds.harvard.edu/library/collections/images/031505_Divinity_Library_57.jpg)</div><strong>The drake wandered around the library for a moment,</strong>allowing Azrael to do the same. He had seen it before. All but the second floor of it.<br/>"I think you have misunderstood me, my Lord. I meant the carvings are not to my liking, the books are treasured, indeed."<br/>Gaining a slight smile, he mumbled so low it was nearly unhearable "Such knowledge to hold in but one Keep.."<br/><br/>Plucking a random old tome from a shelve to open it, Xar seemed to conjure smoke from it, thought it was but the dust that came from the old book that rose up.<br/>He raised his voice slightly as Azrael seemed rather occupied "It seems the Keeper is not here, Lord Azrael. ...though I must admit I shy away from accessing the second floor."<br/>The dust had found a way to settle on the black leather the drake was clad in, oddly clashing with it.<br/><br/>Xar's words had not died completely yet as the sound of thunder was heard from somewhere to the west of their location. It seemed to have struck very close indeed, maybe even in the halls they had just left.<br/>The sound vibrated, knocking several books from the shelves, massive clouds of dust swirling into the air, dimming the light in the library considerably.<br/>A soft gasp escaped the Netherdrake, his hand clasping over his heart as rows of scales ran over his cheeks nervously. The sound had not but be hearable, but feelable as well, leaving the heart to race and making the silence in it's wake all the deafening.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Aiden and Saerra. Keep : 1st floor : Courtyard. ( Center )</em><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://images.veer.com/IMG/PIMG/AGP/AGP0011666_P.JPG)</div><strong>A bright light ripped through the nightskies</strong>, momentarely setting the courtyard of the Keep in the light of day, outshining the stars and moon like they were nothing but candles.<br/>For a few moments, it seemed nothing further was about to happen, until the relevantly small patch of sky directly above the courtyard glowed up in an intricate network of quickly drawn threads of black and golden. As it spread, two sets of eyes narrowed, hands gripped at weapons and awaited if the shield would hold or not.<br/>The sound of thunder, hearable and feelable throughout the Keep and a large part of the grounds, indicated the shield was violently, yet shortly, shortcut and bypassed, leaving enough room for two figures to form mid air. One of the figures cursed as she dropped, wings forming only in time to break the falling speed.<br/>The two sets of eyes nearly bulged out as they recognized their Keeper and what appeared to be the Devil himself land lightfooted on the stones, wearing nothing but the last traces of Saerra's teleportation magic.<br/><br/>"Oh, come on. You actually believe one other then I would be able to do this?" the Angel asked the two in the courtyard as she noticed their hands still on their weapons. "I suggest you retire for the night, you two. The courtyard is no place to spar." she added teasingly before her attention drew back to Aiden to see if he was allright.<br/><br/>
