Tehr thanked the majordomo, and thought about reassuring Tera that he'd be safe enough in the palace.  In fact if he got into a scrape with the archmage, there was little she could do but get herself killed anyways, so he was happier that she was gone.  Besides, he was really most worried about the ball, so any advantage she would have going in, would be to his benefit.  He gave a few minutes thought as he walked to the library about interrupting the archmage while he was in the midst of some 'rite' but then again, if the man wanted privacy all he would have to do would be to post a guard keeping Tehr out.  In the end Tehr decided the risk of interrupting the archmage was greater then risking his displeasure over having him wait for his spell components.<br/><br/>So it was with only a little bit of trepedation that he made his way up the spiral staircase to the locked door at the top of the tower.  He steeled his nerve and made sure he had the components he and Tera had collected.  Then with a deep breath knocked loudly, once, twice, thrice on the heavy wooden door.
