				The Arcania High library and study areas are just as grand as the rest of the castle itself.&nbsp; Books across the multiverse are stored within these walls, and every single one of them are approved by the Head Master and Mistresses of the past.&nbsp; Of course that's not to say that a few less savory books haven't made their way inside the library's stacks, but the ones that are discovered are put into the restricted section for safe keeping.&nbsp; Special permission is needed to gain access to the restricted section, magical wards being placed over the entire third floor since the farther back you go, the more dangerous the books get in material and power, among other things.&nbsp; The study areas themselves however are usually near lighted areas, giving plenty of light and warmth even during the winter months.&nbsp; For a peaceful, friendly environment, feel free to come here for any of your studying needs.<br><br><div align="center">(http://privatelibrary.typepad.com/.a/6a01156f7ea6f7970b01157051ad37970b-800wi)</div>

				<strong>Rialla Ven'ria<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Library<br>Tagged;</strong> <br><br>Rialla was thoroughly in awe as she stepped into the library proper. The ceiling seemed to be hundreds of feet tall, though perhaps that was her eyes playing tricks on her, the way it came to a gentle arch. There appeared to be three floors to the place, plenty of light to read by, and a calm silence blanketed the whole area. More than anything, though, Rialla could feel the power emanating from the tomes and scrolls. Power enough to shame a fledgling such as herself. She felt immediately that she would end up spending a good deal of time in this place, with all of its literary and arcane majesty. She silently sent a prayer of thanks to Wee Jas, and moved among the bookstacks, careful not to touch anything just yet. She wasn't sure what the policies for this library were, and she did not want to get herself into trouble just yet. However, she did make notes. Notes upon notes for books that caught her eye; tomes she could pour over at a later date. Scrolls she wished to study and spells she could possibly learn. Oh yes, Rialla was going to like this school after all.<br><br>She stopped her compulsions from driving her to shut out her environment, however. That was a trait she had embarrassingly little control over. Some might view it an asset, as she surely did most of the time, but it was unsettling for others at times. No, she stopped taking her notes and decided she needed to present herself to whoever (or whatever) it was that was in charge of the library. She noted the presence of a few orderlies, nothing too special. She opted to find a comfortable place to sit and wait for the head librarian to come through, or at least someone she could talk to and get the necessary information from.

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Main Hall of Arcania High<br>Tagged; Giselle; Rialla</strong><br><br>Lionel couldn't argue with Giselle following him at all, she'd have found a clever loophole by saying something like "I'm doing research on alchemy." or "I need to find out a little more about my culture." though the latter of the two was without question the most unlikely to appear. Regardless, as head librarian he couldn't tell her to keep out at all; it was everyone's rights to enter the place of quiet study so lon as it was quiet study and nothing more which has ofte been the case he'd have to throw students out of the place. So as the two walked through the corridor to the very library itself, Lionel said "I should explain a key element of this library to you; it's proportions often are deemed to defy the laws of physics in the castle. You'll see why soon enough." The dark corridor was dimly lighten, but soon they saw an arch making a luminous beacon to then as they had encountered the great Library's entrance. "Brace yourself." he said upon walking into the vast hall filled with books to the very brim, and it smelt quite nice too! The cleaners did a good job on the place as he expected.<br><br>So of course he decided to walk to his desk where he'd sign himself in. But what did catch his eye was a student in their midst. So early on in the year? Well, she clearly was a studious type, so Lionel chuckled quietly and sat down on his desk. A few little orbs of light appeared around the man as he said "Bring me the Monster-pedia please." and suddenly the lights darted down the halls. They eventually 'hit' and 'diffused' against some sort of magic barrier which rippled as they did so. Lionel expected Giselle to question this, so he explained in advance, quietly of course: "That's a magic barrier designed to keep students from the more 'dangerous' book in the library. However, little concern of those as the ones at the far end, behind a secret door; those are the books a student is forbidden to possess, as they are in there for quarentine purposes alone." Shortly after, the little balls of light flew back to Lionel with a large tome, the Monster-pedi, floating in this magic sling they generated, placing it before the Leo-Sapien. Lionel then thanked the beings as he took out a quil and began to write about Ultima in the tome, even a detailed drawing of the being. Lionel then did look back to the student as he noted she was waiting for someone, possibly him, so he said "Are you looking for someone madam? Can I help you with anything?"

				<strong>Rialla Ven'ria<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel and anyone else<br></strong><br><br>Rialla had spent her waiting time reading a few of the books she had brought with her from her previous home. Spells and arcane theory adorned the pages, and she made her own notes both in the books and on her own journal. They were all in a jumbled script written in a personal code-language. There were many things on Rialla's mind, but all having to do with the kinds of spells she was trying to design. Spell-making was a dangerous science, and even this relatively simple spell had spent months in the theory stage. It wouldn't do to move to actually testing it just to find that the smallest mistake in the written incantation would cause her lungs to catch fire. Rialla barely registered the entrance of the lion man and the elf-woman she thought she saw a while ago at the entrance. She figured they were here for a reason and did not speak to them, continuing her writing and reading.<br><br>Rialla turned her head the Lion-man when he spoke to her. She had not wanted to interfere before he had addressed her, though honestly she was surprised he paid her any mind. He looked to be an impressive sort of man, tall and well built, radiating a power like most of the staff and teachers she'd encountered so far. She stood and approached his desk, bowing to the man before speaking out loud. IF he was the one in charge of the library, she wanted to make a good impression. It was a stunning place and she planned to make good use of it during her time here.<br><br>“Well, may I ask who is the head of this magnificent place? I'm making it a point to introduce myself to as many of the faculty members as I can, and I have some questions about the rules of the library besides. I hope I am not interrupting anything important,” she said in a polite but confident tone of voice.

				<strong>Giselle Do'Urden<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel, Rialla, and anyone else.</strong><br><br>She could have found a clever loophole sure, but why did she need to hide her intentions?&nbsp; She found the lion man's company enjoyable, and wanted to spend a little more time with him.&nbsp; Besides, she would need to keep up to date on the Monster-pedia sure, but that was for tomorrow.&nbsp; Today was getting to know the people she'd be with for four years from here.&nbsp; Lionel's library as she'd come to know it was an amazing and beautiful place of study, that was clear from the first few seconds.&nbsp; "Not even the Host Tower of the Arcane back home has anything like this."&nbsp; She replied in open wonderment, amazed by the beautiful place before her.&nbsp; Most libraries she'd been in had a dust layer a foot thick, but this place was pristine, clean, and obviously quiet given the nature of the place.&nbsp; She nodded when he explained that the place did indeed seem to defy the very laws of physics, but the dimension they were in did that on its own.&nbsp; Even so, she could appreciate his kindly offered warning to brace herself as even she found it hard to believe despite all she'd been through.&nbsp; She had plane walked, fought demons in their own Hellish plane of existence, had saved countless people from monsters of all kinds, yet the sheer scope of this place was staggering.&nbsp; Still, she adjusted quickly as she hopped on the desk, sitting herself down next to Lionel as he summoned his pride and joy.&nbsp; "Clever, but maybe you get this a lot when people ask why said books are kept here to begin with if they're so dangerous, but why are they?"&nbsp; She chuckled, not intentionally making the joke but it had happened anyway as she was indeed curious.&nbsp; Still, regardless of the answer, she'd turn her gaze to the student that Lionel had addressed kindly enough.<br><br>She was about to say something when the announcement came over the hidden address system, (see main hall,) but was kind enough not to say anything as she listened.&nbsp; She had no idea that her face was being plastered all over her own booth with the highlight being her most recent fight with Ultima alongside Lionel not an hour ago.&nbsp; Still, if she had known and saw just how successful the publicity campaign was, she wouldn't have complained much at all since she had suddenly got very famous among the younger generations.&nbsp; She'd be challenged in her own way however given the fact that some worlds had early gunpowder level weaponry to their names, but that was for another time.&nbsp; Turning to Rialla once again, Giselle hopped off the desk and held out her hand to the young girl once the announcement was over with.&nbsp; "Well, I won't keep ya long, but the name's Giselle Do'Urden, dark elf/light elf ranger to Mielikki.&nbsp; It's a pleasure to meet you.&nbsp; I think I'm not the only one that's surprised that you're here already of all places, but personally it's a good thing to be studious I say, so I wouldn't complain myself."&nbsp; She teased lightly, turning her gaze to her lion man friend briefly to let him know she was just picking on him a little bit in good fun.&nbsp; Still, whether or not Rialla shook her dark skinned hand, Giselle would turn her brown eyes back to the young woman in question before speaking further.&nbsp; "I just started today myself, so I know about as much as you do regarding who's in charge or not, still, if you ever take a class with me, I'd be happy to have ya.&nbsp; You better get going though if you don't want to miss sign up."

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Main Hall of Arcania High<br>Tagged; Giselle; Rialla</strong><br><br>The Leo-Sapien merely chuckled at Giselle as she sat on his desk, her compliments to the library stroking his ego sufficiently for him of course. He saw in her face the admiration she had for the place, and it was true, this place was certainly unique; there was very few places that could compare to such a library. It had the Sentinels, which flew around the place collecting books for the students, and the number of enchantments on behalf of many wizards was uncountable. Lionel loved it here, adored the place, it was like his little piece of heaven. Now, Giselle's question was, of course valued, but Lionel tapped her on the nose as he said "One moment, the students always take priority." as he addressed Rialla's questions first...well, after the announcement as well as Giselle introducing herself. But, as she told Rialla to head off, Lionel said "But before you go, student, allow me to answer your questions. The head librarian is me, Lionel Porter. I'm very flattered that you love my library, but this place is a team effort of all the Arcania staff; it shows well doesn't it? I admire your nature about getting to know the faculty here, a very wise move. And as for the rules, I won't waist your time, but the first three are highlighted on that board over there." and as Lionel pointed to a bulletin board, there were three large posters; in respective order they read "Rule 1: SHH!" "Rule 2: Respect the Sentinels and they'll respect you." and "Rule 3: No access to the Forbidden Area without the Head Librarian's Permision!!!"<br><br>Lionel then smiled back to Rialla as he said "Now you'd best be going now, if you're late all the classes you want will be taken!" of course this wasn't true, but he felt it'd give her a spark to get moving onto it quickly. Partially because he wanted her to sign up quickly, and partially so he could do his annual inventory check of course. Whether Rialla went away or not, Lionel spoke aloud "Sentinels, inventory check please!" and like that all the little lights flickered here and there buzzing in and out rows looking at all the books in stock to see if everything was where it should be. You could see a bunch rearanging things alphabetically, date, and even by size; these creatures were definately busy bees. Lionel chuckled at the sight as he nudged Giselle's hand a little saying "These things are a real big help here." But then he had nothing to do for a while to he sunk back into his seat and streched his arms saying "Giselle, please do tell me more about you. My first analysis of you was merely an aggressive drow, yet you've shown me wrong. I could say I'm intruiged."

				<strong>Giselle Do'Urden<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel, Rialla, and anyone else.</strong><br><br>Giselle just shook her head in amusement as her nose was playfully flicked by the lion man before he turned to the student, and patiently waited for him to turn his gaze back to her.&nbsp; She had to agree to his little comment since she'd be doing something quite similar to what he'd obviously been doing himself so far since his arrival here.&nbsp; Students would have to come first, but only as far as she was treated with the same respect of course.&nbsp; For now, she let the question she had asked Lionel be forgotten if not delayed for a little bit, still wanting an answer as he sent Rialla on her way before he turned back to her, and asked a question of her that had her hesitating a bit.&nbsp; She wasn't entirely comfortable talking about herself all that much, for the very reason that she had been chosen as a teacher here in this prestigious academy, because of all that she had done up until now.&nbsp; Not all of it was good, to put it bluntly.<br><br>She watched him set his little Sentinels to work, having them check the inventory of the library before sighing heavily, not liking to talk about herself all that much due to some personal issues of her own.&nbsp; Still, she owed him a bit for saving her life from Ultima earlier, so she slowly looked him in the face briefly before walking away, needing time to think on how to begin before she turned back, meeting his gaze with her brown and beautiful, yet saddened gaze.&nbsp; "You had to ask the one question that makes me uncomfortable a bit for....certain things I've done in the past.&nbsp; Still, you saved my life today with Ultima, so I owe you a little bit if nothing else.&nbsp; And please, don't say anything about not owing you a thing or anything like that."&nbsp; She said before he could say a word, having a feeling he would as she found a comfortable chair before dragging up to the librarian's counter before undoing her sword belt, putting it on the counter as quietly as she could before unslinging her pack, putting that by the desk as well before finally sitting down herself.&nbsp; "Oh where to begin this little tale of mine.&nbsp; What do you want to know the most Lionel?&nbsp; I guess that'd be the best place to start."&nbsp; She finally replied, making herself comfortable since this was going to be a while.

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Main Hall of Arcania High<br>Tagged; Giselle; Rialla</strong><br><br>"Nothing." was the Leo-Sapien's response. He saw her reaction to the question, and spotted a little twist he could play on it...well, two rather. "Firstly, I will explain why your accusation of being in my debt falls short, miss Do'Urden. I saved you from Ultima's attack, but when I hit exahaustion, you gave me that potion to help me down the mountain. And not only that, when I fainted, you dragged me back to Arcania, where Neria then lendedme her strength. Now, whereas returning Neria's strength outweighed the imbalance between us two, you and I...well, fact is, I'm in your debt, from the way I see it." Lionel had a feeling she would reason against this, a good reason; he did like to have a good debate and Giselle though powerful on the field, he hoped, she seemed quite as intellectually capable for such a debate. Lionel then brought forth his second reason: "Now, if I play it from your perspective, you are in my debt, correct? And, following this principle, then surely it is I who has the choice of how this would be amended, would I not? If so, I would advice you not to discuss this topic any further, as evading this clarly sensitive matter would be repaying your debt."<br><br>He was eager to hear her response, but firstly Lionel took her gente hand in his as his valiant eyes gazed into her dishearted beautiful pearls, saying "Take this word from a veteran, young one. You may have certainly lived longer than I, but I have aged well, and in doing so I have discovered that in life, regardless of wherever we are, there is always a choice. The mountain, Ultima's grip upon your neck, if I wished I could've conserved my energy because I wanted to leave that mountain alive, but rather I wiped him out. I had a choice, and I picked mine. You have a choice, and there's no pressure influencing it. If you speak of this past, please do know it is on your own accord, as I have expressed my sentiments towards it. We all have baggage, and if you wish, share." He did understand her feeling. Fact was, as a Leo-Sapien, he'd have plenty of baggage to share around, and even as an 11 Blade, but he kept it away so he could live today. Though sharing the past is often a solution, sometimes merely looking forwards is the best way. And especially to a traumatic past, the only way to escape it once and for all was merely look towards a brighter future. Lionel, after an intense gaze, hoped she understood this, though it wasn't very promising, though he did have a request of her soon depending on her response.

				((How can anyone argue with that one?&nbsp; Lol.&nbsp; I had her drag one of the chairs in the library over to his desk, so they aren't in the main hall.&nbsp; Not important though.))<br><br><strong>Giselle Do'Urden<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel; Rialla</strong><br><br>Giselle listened quietly to his response, his words truly touching in a way that mattered greatly to the half Drow ranger.&nbsp; No one, save perhaps her father, her twin brothers, and Neria, had ever been so kind to her.&nbsp; Lionel was indeed an exceptional man, and Giselle was glad she had met him when she had.&nbsp; She chuckled at last, leaning back in the chair she had dragged over as silently as she could, getting comfortable as she crossed her right leg over her left knee, seeming perfectly at ease despite the raging emotions she was feeling in her chest, most of them sadness over lost loves and dead allies.&nbsp; They were both veterans of war, it came with the territory, but some wounds were slower to heal all the same, just as Lionel knew as well she was sure.&nbsp; "You make a valid argument Lionel."&nbsp; She began slowly, lifting her gaze up to the man's face once again, a slow but passionate fire returning to her gaze once again.&nbsp; "However, if you want to debate who owes who anything, I could have not gone up there at all with you Lionel, and chances are you might not have succeeded on your own, or if you had, you wouldn't have made the trip back down on your own if you had to use that spell of yours as you did to save my life.&nbsp; So, if you want to debate this further, I'm more than willing."&nbsp; She smiled, a glint in her brown eyes since she did enjoy a good debate since she was as intelligent as she seemed to be, more so in fact given her ability to lead a small army to victory if the need ever arose, and it had a couple of times.&nbsp; "But enough of this, you are one of the kindest people I've ever met Lionel, and I am glad you chose to help me instead of saving your energy as you said.&nbsp; That, and I have made my choice, as surely as you made yours."&nbsp; She squeezed his hand in turn, strongly, feeling welcomed for the first time in ages as she slowly let his hand go.<br><br>Sighing however, she looked up to the ceiling, remembering the good and the bad times in equal measure for several long seconds.&nbsp; A lot of it was good, but the bad....they hurt, and they were remembered, and would be remembered for as long as she lived for sure.&nbsp; Still, it didn't matter in the end as Lionel wanted to hear what she had to say, and that was enough for her.&nbsp; "I will share my friend, and that is not something I say often to people I just met, let alone to people I know for a while as I have known so many.&nbsp; Let me say this, and forgive me for being so forward, but you'll get a better perspective on how deep some of my scars run.&nbsp; I have not let a man into my bed for over forty years, Lionel.&nbsp; I haven't even taken time to help myself to personal relief in that long either.&nbsp; I've had my heart broken twice, the second time because of my own mistake, and no I didn't cheat on the man before you ask.&nbsp; The first time....let's just say that I should have looked beyond the surface of his charming smile to see he was a member of an evil organization called the Zhenterim that runs every illegal activity you can think of back home on Faerun.&nbsp; I was twenty, he was twenty five.&nbsp; I was young, naive, and inexperienced in the ways of the world save for the fact I knew by then that dark elves, half or otherwise, were not accepted members of society despite my family name being known throughout the realms.&nbsp; He....saw past my skin, and whether he loved me as much as I did him, I cannot say now, but at the time it felt real.&nbsp; At least, until an agent of the Harpers approached me for a job, the Harpers being the exact opposite of the Zhenterim in that the Harpers protect the realms when the realms cannot protect themselves.&nbsp; At any rate, the job entailed killing a wizard, and guess who the target was?&nbsp; He was lucky he showed me proof, otherwise I don't think I could have done what was required, but even that much about cost me my life then.&nbsp; So, want to know more?"

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Main Hall of Arcania High<br>Tagged; Giselle; Rialla (if available)</strong><br><br>Lionel was looking forward to this heated debate; Giselle was a very worthy rival indeed, and seeing the fire in her eyes, he knew she'd give him a fight. Unfortunately it wouldn't be a literal fight, and his request would have to be post-poned for the time being. Right now she was pouring her heart out onto the Leo-Sapien. She talked about scars running so deep that time itself may never heal them, but from what he was hearing, he could tell he had another bit of veteran expertice to share. Now, two broken hearts, a sentiment Lionel felt once and was familiar to it, and in fact it seemed they were both familiar stories as well, though Lionel's time to share wasn't now; Giselle clearly needed the support of a friend being there for her, and this Leo-Sapien's shoulders were large enough for four people to cry on, let alone one. The ending of the tale, or seeming cliff-hanger, was very tempting to ask for more, but firstly Lionel patted her shoulder as he said "Not just yet Giselle, I can see one little thing in your story..."<br><br>"...and that is simply, I assume, heartbreak. I know the sentiment, and it is painful, but you must know that you can beat these scars. Neria is there to support you, as am I, you just have to ask, alright? I know that a proud being such as myself, with buckets of arrogance to spare, saying these things is certainly odd, but trust me, everything, and I mean everything, can be beaten one way or another." Lionel then wrapped his arm around Giselle's back and squeezed her tightly in a hug, stroking her hair as he said "I think somebody needs a long over-due cuddle, don't you? Go on, tell me everything. And don't you dare say that chair is more comfy than my fur, I know that as a fact it isn't. I used extra-soft lotion in my mane today, and if its already worn off somebody owes me a lot of money back." chuckling lightly as he rubbed Giselle's back. It was odd, the big furball stroking the more 'human-ish' being as a teddy bear role reversal, but then again what wouldn't happen at this place, huh?

				<strong>Giselle Do'Urden<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel; Rialla</strong><br><br>She shivered minutely from the warmth coming from Lionel's body as he hugged her.&nbsp; She didn't realize just how much she needed this as she felt tears start to well up in her brown eyes.&nbsp; She had gotten past most of the emotional trauma, but the second time....that had been her own mistake, and that in itself hurt more.&nbsp; "She did...help me for most of it....Lionel.&nbsp; But....she can only do so much despite her abilities as the best healer I've ever met.&nbsp; But....it wasn't enough....since I met her shortly after....I broke up with a light elf man I met many years later....when I was century old.&nbsp; He....wouldn't even look at me as I was....and I found out....his family and clan had been slain by a surface raid of dark elves, so he had every right to hate what I am in appearance only.&nbsp; So I....chose to make myself a light elf as well, using a simple polymorph spell to do the job.&nbsp; I kept it up for three years....finding a happiness I didn't know could exist."&nbsp; She shivered again, smiling weakly as she closed her eyes against the lion man's chest, chuckling weakly a moment later at his attempt at humor.&nbsp; It took her a moment to carry on, but she found the means as she kept on talking, somehow.&nbsp; "He proposed.....wanted to marry me....but I couldn't truly do that until he knew the truth.&nbsp; His....response....was less than what I had hoped, but I knew....at some level I knew it could never be.&nbsp; It hurt....even more than the first time....Lionel.&nbsp; I ran then, I ran until no one could find me, and stumbled across Neria's temple.&nbsp; That's how we met....."

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Main Hall of Arcania High<br>Tagged; Giselle; Rialla (if available)</strong><br><br>Lionel couldn't believe his ears; Giselle's second problem, one which cut so deep, seemed to be from his perspective quite peculier. Addressing it how he thought would probably make a sensitive situation worse, Lionel decided to take a more subtle approach. "Remember what I said? About allowing our past to haunt you? Your elf, he let it haunt him, and it ruined you in its wake. His choice was clouded by his past, his prejudice, and because of it he allowed someone who cherished him so to slip away; it is a foolish mistake Giselle. I can tell you know you're a very special woman, and one who deserves to be treated with the care you need. I can feel as if these emotions were bottled up, weren't they?" Lionel then hugged Giselle a little soft as he simply said "Giselle, all you need to do is let out your emotions. Cry, it'll make things feel better. Cry and let out your sorrow, because when you do you'll realize there are many here, all the teachers here care for your, none more so than Neria, I can tell you mean the world to her."

				((I didn't have access to my computer all day so I'll just play catch up and be on my way.))<br><br><strong>Rialla Ven'ria<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel and Giselle<br></strong><br><br>"Pleased to meet you both. I am Rialla Ven'ria, little more than a humble spell caster. I do look forward to anything you and the others could teach me."<br><br>Rialla shook Giselle's hand, smiling politely to the dark elf. She had recalled spying her either on her way in or somewhere in the corridors, she couldn't say for sure. That being said, the announcement was an urgent one so she had to finish her pleasantries as quickly as possible without seeming rude to either of the two she had met in the library. She inclined her head slightly to Giselle before she moved along. She turned her attention back to the leo-sapien and smiled brightly.<br><br>"Well, their work is most impressive. But, the body does not function long without a strong brain, no? Anyway, thank you for your time, but as you've said, I should be going now. It's been a pleasure meeting the two of you!" Rialla said, bowing before scurrying away from them. She made her way back through the entrance of the library and walked a brisk pace towards the main entrance hall. She didn't want to be left out of any classes she might take, after all.

				((It's ok Garden hun.&nbsp; I hope you're finding this enjoyable though.))<br><br><strong>Giselle Do'Urden<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel</strong><br><br>She was utterly powerless to Lionel's gentle and compassionate nature.&nbsp; There were few people that made her feel so warm and loved, and now she was considering Lionel to be in that very small and select group of people she called friend....and more when fate hadn't been cruel to her.&nbsp; She had been told something quite similar from Neria when she had finally broken down and told her all she suspected or down right knew for herself from her powers to talk to the gods themselves when answers weren't easily gotten otherwise from those that sought her out.&nbsp; So she took the librarian's advice and let her mountain high mental defenses crumble and poured out her heart and soul through the body wracking sobs that followed.&nbsp; It took her a good half hour to release so many long years of sorrow and sadness, pain and anguish, but eventually she started to calm once more, indeed feeling better although her eyes were red and puffy and her voice hoarse as she breathed a little easier into the man's furry chest.&nbsp; There might had been a few bruises from her beating her hands against him, but if he noticed she couldn't tell, not really coherent at the moment to really notice anyway until she opened her eyes once more.&nbsp; "Where were you when I was younger Lionel?"&nbsp; She whispered, barely audible even to his ears as she slowly looked up into his face.&nbsp; "You....were right.&nbsp; I've kept all that inside for far too long....and now that it's gone....I feel a hundred years younger, to tell you the truth.&nbsp; I didn't realize just how badly I needed to do that until now."&nbsp; She offered a strong smile then, her eyes lighting up in a way that said all that needed to be said.&nbsp; "You're wise beyond your years Lionel, and if I didn't know any better I'd have said you had some elven blood in your veins given your vast wisdom and life lessons you have at your fingertips.&nbsp; Even an old soul like me could learn much from someone like you."<br><br>Sitting up fully once again in the chair she had pulled over, Giselle wiped her eyes with the back of her sleeves, knowing she probably looked terrible at a physical level, but she didn't really care at that moment.&nbsp; She'd been through worse, and her physical appearance wasn't all that important to her anyway in most cases.&nbsp; Her way of life was a rough and dirty one more times than not, but she wouldn't have had it any other way.&nbsp; Getting back on track however, the half Drow's dark cheeks turned a shade darker, realizing how she must look to the strong paladin Leo-Sapien.&nbsp; "I must look like a mess after that little display, but all that aside, Neria means the world to me as well as she would say the same about me I'm sure.&nbsp; Hell, I wouldn't even be here if not for her as I might have said before.&nbsp; Regardless Lionel, I....before you got me to let all that negative shit out, I might have considered you a good one night fling if nothing else since love and me as you've surely realized, hasn't gone well together.&nbsp; Now....I don't know, but it would definitely be more than an one night thing I can promise you that much.&nbsp; I don't know if I'm yet ready to love again for fear of it falling apart on me as it has before twice over, but....given enough time and patience.......on both our parts....?"&nbsp; She let the question hang in the air, being far more careful this time around about opening herself up as she had in the past.&nbsp; Sex was one thing, but love?&nbsp; That would be an entirely different ball game until she was ready to try that path to oblivion again.

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Library<br>Tagged; Giselle</strong><br><br>Lionel smiled softly as Giselle weeped into his fur, surprisingly it soaked them up like a sponge; must have been that new moisturiser he was using, but never mind. Fact was she got all that baggage, all that pent up stress out somehow, and he didn't mind her beating on his chest at all, anything to get the emotions out. They didn't bruise, but by Zenithia did they hurt; he really wanted that Miracle Elixir now. Giselle then looked into his eyes with ones much more brighter, which made him smile; she looked much better when she had a really sincere smile on her face, the look suited her...and everyone else really. "Giselle, my dear, I'm pure Leo-Sapien; I'm just a domesticated kitty cat paladin. And believe me when I say this, though you have years, you don't age as much as us Leo-Sapiens. Fact is, though I am younger, I too am older...it is confusing, I know, but never mind that now." Lionel let out a little snigger at the end of that sentence, unsure where he was going or what he was doing with it at all. Well, at least me managed to stop it in its tracks before he went on a ridiculous rant.<br><br>"Nonsense. Giselle, you letting out your emotions is beautiful, as is anyone else's. I'm just glad it didn't eat up too much of you." Lionel said in response to her calling herself a mess, finding no harm done in it. After all, he was a friend, and friends don't judge on looks. He was quite glad he had gotten to know Giselle better than his prejudiced note on her when he saw them enter Arcania; he knew if he didn't then he wouldn't have even considered being anything more than colleagues. And now look where they were, she was crying into his shoulder and opening so many closed doors to him. Anyways, she then went on to say she saw him as a one night fling? Well, saw, but now unsure of what to think. Lionel couldn't believe she looked at him in that way, and then she went on to say love. Lionel had to put an end to it, so firmly holding Giselle's shoulders Lionel said "Listen carefully. You're emotionally distraught, and very vulnerable. You're a wonderful woman, no questions, and very beautiful. But we both know eventually, at some point, we will split paths. You don't need to go through heartbreak again Giselle. What you need is me to be a friend, alright? No love, nothing of the sort; it'll be nothing more than a painful trip spiralling into disaster. Giselle, I look at you as a friend, but if I was to look at you as a man- well, Leo-Sapien, I'd...well, let me put it this way. If I wasn't the man I am now, I'd sleep with you as much as I possibly could, because that is how beautiful you are, both inside and out. But we must keep it as friends, alright?"<br><br>This was quite painful for the Leo-Sapien; he had just ejected one smoking hot piece when she had her guard down. But what kind of paladin would do such a thing? Certainly not an 11 Blade, one who's triumph over temptation would allow his clear judgement. But she seemed sad, and she did seem quite defenseless, as a result of his compassion, so he had to rebuild those defenses...and he knew just how. Lionel cleared his throat and smirked at Giselle as he said "Now...our debate! Fact is, you chose to come up there with me not to help me but your own free will! So, that way, I see that so far I'm in your debt for help...wait, I forget, am I arguing for me in your debt and you vice-versa? Or is it the otherway around?" he spotted that fire in her eye when he struck up this intellectual battle, and from what Lionel had gathered, if there was one way to make Giselle more like herself, it would b competition. "Now, Giselle, I need to ask you a favour. See, the thing is, I miss my strength dearly. I want it back, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Fact is, I want to fight you at my full potential when you too are at that state. I'm glad the baggage is gone for now, because now you can fight me without distractions, but though you're ready, I'm not. I need to get my strength back if I'm to fight you, which from your fiery nature, which does appeal to me, I can tell will be one worth waiting for."

				((You say that now, but how long can he resist I wonder?&nbsp; Lol.))<br><br><strong>Giselle Do'Urden<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel</strong><br><br>"Domesticated I wouldn't be too sure on given how you finished off Ultima."&nbsp; Giselle giggled in turn, not used to feeling so light in so long as she replied to the man's comment.&nbsp; "Even so, pure Leo-Sapian or not as you call yourself, you have much more in common with the light elves than you realize and that's a good thing if you ask me.&nbsp; And yeah, you might want to try explaining that last part again a bit there Lionel."&nbsp; She chuckled again, getting only about a fourth of that last part right she hoped.&nbsp; Thinking about it though, she did know that cats and dogs didn't live as long as humans since they aged far quicker than they did, so maybe that had something to do with it?&nbsp; She couldn't be sure, not without further information preferably right from the source, but it wasn't really all that important really.&nbsp; Even so, she was glad that he hadn't minded her little display of raw emotion, but it did surprise her that her letting her emotions run wild like that had been beautiful of all things.&nbsp; That was the last thing she'd expected to hear, but it warmed her heart all the same.&nbsp; Then he had to ruin the moment, for her own good or not she didn't rightly care at that moment, by trying to stop her own little rant about possible love between them.&nbsp; "Forgive me for this but shut up for two seconds you overgrown furball."&nbsp; Giselle countered, shaking his hands free from her shoulders before standing and meeting him at eye level.&nbsp; "Yes, I realize that now's not the best time, especially after we've only just started to get to know each other, but if you had let me finish before going on your own little tirade about why it couldn't work out between us, SHOULD we even get that far, you might have heard the rest of what I had to say.&nbsp; Gods, what is it with men that makes them wet themselves the moment the L word is brought up?"<br><br>She growled, but sighed heavily since it had also been partly her own fault.&nbsp; Still, she wasn't about to let it slide so easily either as she continued, becoming passionate in her own way as the debate started in earnest.&nbsp; "Emotionally distraught is the understatement of the century sure, but given enough time, now that most of the damage is gone thanks to you doing the seemingly impossible in such a short amount of time where Neria had only managed to patch up the scars over the course of a few months, you've all but erased them from my heart in a single prolonged meeting, maybe, someday you big overgrown cat.&nbsp; Not right now, not tomorrow or in the next week, probably not even the next year will love play into anything we do from here on.&nbsp; However, we can still be friends and still have the occasional fling from time to time can we not?&nbsp; Forgive me for being sexually frustrated, but I haven't had my toes curled in over forty years, and again sorry for being so crude and forward, but that's the truth of it.&nbsp; So, friends or not, I just wanted to get that out of the way before I had another reason to beat your ass."&nbsp; She teased, only half way serious as she fell back into the chair, feeling oddly tired out after that tirade but better in a different way at the same time.&nbsp; "Sheesh, arguing with you is hard work.&nbsp; Even so....I do appreciate you turning down my rather non-existent advances out of the goodness of your heart Lionel....wait, did you say you'd sleep with me as much as you could if you weren't the man you are today?"&nbsp; She blinked, a few times in obvious surprise as her cheeks turned black as pitch.&nbsp; She.....had totally missed that somehow.&nbsp; Still, she recovered quickly as she laughed at herself, unable to help it since she had most likely sounded like a right fool just then.<br><br>Recovering from her own embarrassment, she nodded to Lionel's request to finding a way to regain his strength.&nbsp; She chuckled as he forgot what side of the debate he'd been on, and with all the raging emotions between them, she had forgotten herself.&nbsp; It didn't matter in the end as she steepled her fingers under her chin, thinking on how best to answer him since she couldn't honestly answer for Neria, but she could at least point him towards the light elf cleric since she was rather good at obtaining answers where there were no other way to find them if nothing else.&nbsp; "I do not wish to get your hopes up Lionel, because I don't even know for sure if she can help you out in your quest to return to full strength or not, but if anyone can, it's Neria Zathrieal.&nbsp; She's good at working miracles, some of which she did for me when I came down off of that mountain after nearly dying at the claws of that evil red dragon.&nbsp; Any other cleric wouldn't have even tried to heal the damage done to me, but she did when I was brought to her door, an inch from death and not even with it for the first month.&nbsp; All I remember was the cold until my nearly severed spine was put back together, although how she managed it I'll never guess.&nbsp; It took another two to make me whole once more through painful therapy and....rather intense nightly sessions in her bed since she does her best healing through her Sacred Prostitute training oddly enough given her own personal past problems she's more or less come to terms with, unlike me until recently.&nbsp; I won't tell you what she's been through since that'd be a violation of her trust, but I will say that like the light elf I told you about before, she lost her entire family and clan in a single night.&nbsp; The rest you'll have to get from her.&nbsp; At any rate, I don't know how much you know about Sacred Prostitutes, Lionel, but I can assure you that despite the fact she has slept with a lot of people, she's in perfect health and that she'd be the first to agree with you regarding the whole love debate we had earlier.&nbsp; She's a healer in every sense of the word, emotionally, physically, spiritually, sexually...., and she's quite capable to cover every need a person might have.&nbsp; She's considered a sacred being where we come from, and her powers are not limited to talking to the gods themselves if a certain ritual is seen to first.&nbsp; All it comes down to is asking her a question before anything physical occurs, and bringing her to release after twenty minutes of lovemaking, to put it nicely.&nbsp; If you're willing to try Lionel, she'd be willing to help you if it's in her power to do so.&nbsp; She has never turned down anyone that she feels is deserving as you would prove to be I'm sure.&nbsp; She helped me after all, what more do you need?"

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Library<br>Tagged; Giselle</strong><br><br>Lionel rolled his eys, he went on his rant again. But one way or another, the fiery explosive Giselle was back, and he couldn't really be happier. But her approach was quite...suggestive, really. She was tense, really really tense. And to put it bluntly, Lionel thought she actually needed it? He must've been losing it, but whatever, fact was Giselle clearly wanted him but, well, her seduction, if it so could be called, was very confrontational. Maybe it was because she was out of touch, maybe it was because she was quite angry with him. Bottom line, she was hitting Lionel's buttons swimmingly; he loved women who were flames, flamboyant, willing to put up a fight. And Giselle's confrontational method was working quite well, noting his member starting to get a little excited from it all. Lionel's more animalistic nature was getting the best of him; he fought temptation so well because it was never there. Women would come to him and tease him, try a cute or sexy method to seduce him. Lionel liked fighters, he liked string women both physically and mentally. Giselle? Well, she fit the cake.<br><br>As Giselle finished her little speech about Neria, Lionel closed his eyes and chuckled. "Wonderful, I'll speak to her when I get the chance. However, i do expect you'll be coming along, won't you, pal?" he said teasingly. "It seems you know your friend Neria quite well, and she seems like a wonderful woman. I know of legends of the Sacred Prostitutes, and as you can assume from our order, we recognize them as Saintesses, as they give their own bodies to help others; Neria spell an example of her self sacrifice. She's clearly a wonderful example and a true friend." Lionel then leaned over to Giselle, his gaze in her's, as he said "But, right now, I think I should tell yu something: your idea of a fling...its sounding much more appealing now. See, when you spoke to me about it, when I ranted, you weren't how you are now. Giselle, there's nothing that turns me on more than a fiesty woman such as yourself, and though I thought I could resist, its clear my efforts are growing thin. But we cannot engage in intimate activities here; the sentinels will get frisky. If you want me, we'll have to go elsewhere. Because the thing is, right now, you're awakening an old, more primal side to me that, well, I can say I've missed."

				((I'm not sure how I'm going to do the Teacher sleeping areas lol.&nbsp; Any ideas CJ?))<br><br><strong>Giselle Do'Urden<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel</strong><br><br>If she had been trying to seduce him, Lionel couldn't have missed out on her suggestions that were otherwise quite open without any teasing to be found since she wasn't technically trying anything.&nbsp; She was just telling the truth, nothing more.&nbsp; Funny how that worked for some people, as she soon realized when he teased her in turn.&nbsp; Giselle was taken aback a few metaphorical steps, having not expected to get such a positive response from Lionel, but she recovered quickly before speaking once more, unable to keep the grin from her face from it all.&nbsp; "Careful what you wish for there buddy.&nbsp; You have no idea how feisty I can be.&nbsp; You might find that even your superhuman strength won't be enough to out last me.&nbsp; You'd be surprised how many tricks you can learn when you're stuck in a temple full of people like Neria, although I only ever had Neria help me in my time there."&nbsp; Growing serious a bit again however, Giselle gladly met Lionel's gaze, nodding since she didn't think doing anything in the library would be a good idea exactly herself.&nbsp; Too many chances of being discovered, and to be caught doing something like that on the first day would surely be enough to get them both canned if it was against the rules or something.&nbsp; "Neria is a wonderful woman, but she's too kind for her own good at times.&nbsp; I mean that in the best possible way, but once I was able to start walking and eventually fighting again, I had to drag a couple of assholes out of her holy temple before they caused undue harm to anyone.&nbsp; How they slipped by her careful selection is beyond me, but it happened all the same.&nbsp; I am just saying that whatever you choose, don't take advantage of her, or let anyone else do the same if you can help it.&nbsp; I'm sure you wouldn't, but....it's just me being paranoid for her sake since she's been known to heal and tend to others until she drops from exhaustion.&nbsp; More than a few of the people that follow her way asked me to watch over her when I made a brief stop over in her Temple on our way here since they know as much as I do about her tendency to neglect her own health at times."<br><br>Still, all that aside, Giselle felt safe in sharing all this with the paladin as she smiled softly since she was glad that he found her as alluring as she found him.&nbsp; Love wouldn't be going into all this, not for a while, if ever, but friends, that was a certainty.&nbsp; And as long as they were safe, nothing would come of their occasional flings that they both seemed to need.&nbsp; "Most people find it hard to debate against me since I can blast most arguments apart with little trouble.&nbsp; That and my explosive rants tend to unnerve those that try, but it's good I finally find someone like you that I can argue with all I like just for the fun of it all.&nbsp; Having two one year older twin brothers that look far more like our light elf mother doesn't make for good arguments, especially when magic spells start going off between me and my mage counter part, Seth.&nbsp; All that aside, where do you suggest we go Lionel?&nbsp; I know virtually nothing regarding the layout of this place, as it were, so you'll be the one to lead as you have once already today."

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br>Location;&nbsp; Library<br>Tagged; Giselle</strong><br><br>He chuckled a little at Giselle, she really showed a lot of care for Neria, quite the large some of it. But she did say that she was too kind. Delicate, if anything. And she wanted him to make sure no-one took advantage of the woman. Lionel nodded to the request, after all, she was how Giselle described her. Lionel would do his best to ensure she was always safe, always alright as much as he could. But, firstly, he saw a woman who needed his help right now. Giselle had yet to really experience a man for such a long time, she must have missed out on so much she'd forgotten how it felt. Who knew, but Lionel was going to bring back those memories for her; taking Giselle's hand softly, Lionel said "Very well, we'll go to my dorm. You should have one as well, after we're done we can find it if you like...but for now, I can tell you need to release a little more. So..." Lionel then stood up with Giselle, taking her softly towards the entrance of the library. "...I'll bring you back into the light once and for all. I'll help you release."

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Soon to be Neria, anyone else</strong><hr>Lionel had eventually made his way into the library, hearing the angelic choir of noise made by the dormant Sentinels capable of putting anyone who heard it to sleep, the huge cluster of lights beginning their work for the day as they flew around. Lionel then took his throne, aka the desk, and took control of the library ready to get it running for the day; it was going to be a little bit of a bother if anyone who needed books didn't have any assistance now didn't it? Anyways, he asked a Sentinel for a potion's book and, in a minute or two and a good ol' game of Jenga with another Sentinel, the book was brought to him subtly. "Thank you very much." he said to the beings as they both flew away to get to work; in the meantime Lionel made his way to the index. "M...M...M...here we go, M. Right, Mi...Mi...right, Mid-ranged Spells, no...urgh, this book is so huge to read!" he complained before noting it was the beginner's copy, and asked for the expert potion's tome to be brought to him immediately in order to begin his search. The Dark Lords waited for no man. ('cept you Vergie! ;))

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Neria, possibly Yuri, anyone else</strong><hr>Lionel's gaze momentarily met with Neria's as he heard her concerned voice asking him of the strange nature he'd adapted into, offering her help by any means possibly. Lionel only sighed as he continued to rummage through the Mi sections in the potion book, no luck still. Lionel then expressed his worry as he said "Neria, you know what a God is, right? Well, what would you do if a being who captured a Dragon God, suffering huge weaknesses as a result, almost killed one you care deeply about?" before looking to a Sentinel requesting for his Monsterpedia, which after short time placed it, Lionel flashing the pages by before stopping in the ? class monsters. "This section is divided for entities far beyond the normal classification...aha, here." Lionel's finger pointed to a mysterious, grey looking entity with goat-like legs, a spike on its head...it was Ultima. "And thats not all. We're lucky we got these sketches." Lionel said, flicking the next three pages as he revealed to Neria the dark lords, the last one on the page which collided with Lillith. "Ultima, Eidolon, Balog, Felkanor; the four Dark Lords, monsters with powers that exceed that of the greatest warrior." Lionel then looked at Neria with eyes teeling no lie as he said "I need you to create me a potion, named a Miracle Elixer, in order to restore my former powers as a 7th Blade."

				<strong>Neria Zathrieal<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel, possibly Yuri, and anyone else.</strong><br><br>Neria was a bit surprised by his question since she worshiped gods everyday.&nbsp; Still, she got the feeling he was referring to something different than what she initially thought, and instead silently listened to what he had to say.&nbsp; She hadn't met this...Dragon God before, but the whole business about almost losing someone she deeply cared for, that was something she knew far too well.&nbsp; She had never heard of a Miracle Elixir before, but if he had the recipe she'd do her best to try to create one.&nbsp; "I've never heard of these....Dark Lords before Sir Lionel, but if they are as strong as you say, then we will need everything we have to stop them.&nbsp; As for the Elixir you wish of me, I've never heard of such a thing either, but if I can create one, I'll do what I can, I promise you.&nbsp; However, maybe there's another way....although I don't know your feelings about sharing your bed with another besides Giselle.&nbsp; It's obvious you care about her a great deal, Lionel.&nbsp; I saw that in the way you looked at each other earlier.&nbsp; Whether it's love or not however is too soon to tell, and knowing her I doubt it is just yet.&nbsp; Even so, I have a spell as a Sacred Prostitute that allows me to talk to the gods themselves, but it requires a question to be asked of me before anything intimate can begin as well as any activity we might do last a certain amount of time.&nbsp; That's assuming you agree at all, but the only reason I bring this up is because if it's possible, we might be able to find the location of this Elixir, which might be a lot faster than trying to create one."

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Neria, possibly Yuri, anyone else</strong><hr>Lionel sighed when Neria stated she'd never heard of a Dark Lord; of course she hadn't, these beings had such powers and easily kept themselves in secrecy, so how could she hear about an enemy, or four rather, who've never once fought her. Lionel then listened to what Neria had to say, a very in depth talk but his eyes widened when she mentioned Giselle, and more importantly sharing a bed with someone except her. Lionel didn't realize that as a Sacred Prostitute she'd be able to do something towards the goal of restoring his powers, something he wanted dearly, but there was one problem and that was the method. Lionel shook his head as he chuckled saying "Neria, I understand that a great deal of your powers comes from your Sacred Prostitute vocation, and I am flattered you'd offer me yourself to help me, but I cannot accept your offer." Lionel then looked at Neria with his deep eyes when he explained his rejection, stating that "I realize there would be no emotional attachment of the sort, believe me, and if circumstances were different I'd gladly take your offer. But...listen, please keep this from Giselle for the time being, alright?" Lionel then took a deep breath as he looked around, no students in sight apart from those far down in the corridors. Then he moved himself closer to Neria in order to lower his voice and, consequentially, confide in the light elf as he said "Last night, pardon if this does embaress you, between me and Giselle was without question an evening to remember. See, we both agreed it'd be a fling, and we both really needed to blow off some steam. But after our first time, well, I don't know on Giselle's behalf, however I felt our encounter became much more intimate. My dear, how many times after a fling do you just watch your partner sleep peacefully? And not only that, our second encounter was interrupted by a third member. At the time it was wonderful, but I feel...well, jealous..." Lionel then sighed as he felt any further would be unnecesary. "If you ask Giselle,and she permits you, then I may think about it. I'm sorry, I do realize you're trying to help and this might be solely unjust."

				<strong>Neria Zathrieal<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel, possibly Yuri, and anyone else.</strong><br><br>Not all of her powers were as a Sacred Prostitute, but some of her more powerful spells did come from her specialty vocation.&nbsp; Still, Neria didn't have it in her to correct him as she listened intently to what he had to say.&nbsp; When he was finished, the light elf priestess gently enveloped his hands in hers and brought them up between them, her eyes intently focusing on his face as she spoke quietly as well after making sure there wasn't anyone nearby to overhear them.&nbsp; "I understand exactly what it is you're trying to say, Lionel.&nbsp; Whether Giselle feels the same way or not I cannot be certain without talking to her, but....as she might have told you before, she has had bad luck with love so as much as it pains me to say it, she might not feel the same way for you as you feel for her.&nbsp; Even so, that's no reason to give up on her by any means.&nbsp; I've sent many a partner to sleep in the manner you spoke of with Giselle, so I too know what it means to be at peace and content after so long of being in some kind of pain beforehand.&nbsp; However, I will still ask Giselle, but I have a feeling that I'll be busy after her first class with injured students to tend to, knowing her, so it might take me some time."&nbsp; She gently let his hands go and smiled warmly, glad that he felt so strongly about her already and the elf had no intention of breaking that up.&nbsp; She was considered many things, but a homewrecker wasn't one of them.&nbsp; "You feel for her, that's not unjust by any means Lionel as far as refusing my offer of aid goes.&nbsp; I am honestly glad that you have helped her more than I could since the moment I saw her this morning, she felt to me to truly be alive and enjoying herself for once in a very long time.&nbsp; You've done something that I could not, you gave her peace."

				<strong>Yuri, stepping out of the shadows<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel, Neria</strong><br><hr><br>&nbsp;Having heard enough, Yuri stepped out of the shadows. He pulled down the hood of his cloak, a serious look on his face. "I might be able to help you regain your powers." He said, his eyes darting to Neria briefly. "But it requires an equal exchange for such a thing. I apologize if it seems like I am prying, Lady Neria had asked me to follow when you left." Yuri stepped forward, the glowing gem casting his face in a red lighted shadow. "By the sound of it, you need all the help you can get to fight these Dark Lords. There is something known as the Philosopher's Stone, which might be able to return your strength."

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Neria, possibly Yuri, anyone else</strong><hr>Lionel's eyes widened a little when Neria enclosed them in her's bringing them together as she spoke to him with her voice of an angel, remarkably sweet and kind. What she did with the hands was probably in order to catch his attention, and it certainly worked as Lionel didn't say a word as Neria spoke to him about his feelings for Giselle Lionel himself was questioning them himself, as Giselle's encounters with love involved left her in heartbreak; Lionel didn't want such pain again on her behalf, especially if it was caused by his own behalf. He was impartial about her asking Giselle permission to sleep with him in order to use her Sacred Prositute powers for his Elixer, it wasn't on his mind; what was on his mind was his affection to Giselle, as he knew it wasn't love yet as it was far too early to be such. Maybe it was just some feeling after quite an intense evening with the drow. But he smiled at Neria when she told him he had given Giselle peace. Well, peace was one word for it certainly! Lionel chuckled from the sincerity as he said "Neria, I don't want you to lead Giselle on to something, as I don't know the feeling I have myself. But I promise you, and her, that I'll swear my life to her's. And as for asking Giselle about this...arrangement, well...hmm...Just make sure she knows that this wasn't my idea...dear god, I have got feelings for her..." All of a sudden Yuri appeared from the shadows of the library offering to return his powers; Lionel was taken by shock as he said "Woah! Yuri, what a surprise!" before he listened to him explaining about the Philosopher's Stone, another mean to return his power; Lionel simply said "Yuri, I appreciate the sentiment; I'm in chase of an item as it is, and a second may just complicate things."

"If you do not wish to seek the stone, I can understand.... Most who have sought it have been driven mad." He gave a dry chuckle at that remark. "Forget I said anything then." He tapped the staff on the stone floor, a chair rising up. After sitting down, he&nbsp; steepled his fingers and looked at Neria.<br><br>&nbsp;"Lady Neria, you said you needed help with something?

"I suppose you're right, we could always use a back up. No shame in one either." the Leo-Sapien said, before addressing Yuri's statement as he said "We're shocked because we both were in deep discussion about more...private matters. Trust me, if we were in the wilderness you'd know your place." with a chuckle before noting him descrive the difficulty of said stone, those seeking it going mad. Lionel only wanted his power back, and he could do so by either finding a recipe or alternatively find one with Neria's help, going insane seemed a bit much. "I suppose we should leave it be Yuri. There are other means whereby I'll restore my powers. But before you two discuss as you wish I have two things to say: firstly can I entrust your aid in fighting the Dark Lords, and secondly if you wish to discuss matters such as this, get another table; I'll be busy looking through potion books all day now..."

				<strong>Yuri<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Lionel, Neria</strong><br><hr><br>&nbsp;Yuri nodded, "Understandable. A shortcut to power more often has drawbacks that offsets such gain." He said, standing up. With another tap of his staff, the stone chair melded back into the floor. "I have sworn to protect the school and students, by whatever means necessary. If these Dark Lords pose a threat to either, I will do everything in my power to defeat them." His tone was serious, no hint of the casual nature that he usually spoke in. He didn't seem to look directly at either of them, as if remembering a long forgotten memory.

				<strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library<br>Tagged; Neria, possibly Yuri, anyone else</strong><hr>Lionel nodded to Neria as the two made their way from his desk; Lionel had two reasons to be grateful, firstly he had more space, and secondly he figured that, know identifying the Miracle Elixer wasn't in the Advance Potion Tome, that meant it'd have to be beyond the barrier. Lionel had made sure the two didn't spot him before he made his move from the desk down the long walk to down the library, until he reached the wall which divided the normal and the quarentined books. Lionel easily passed through the barrier and walked straight down the line until he reached a vault-like door to which Lionel pressed his paw on, causing the lock to receade. Entering the room he saw a dark aura flowing along the ground, to which Lionel then clicked his finger, causing a little light above it to glow to enlighten the crypt. Three Sentinel flew into the room with him as the others sealed the door before the aura would flow out any further...<hr><strong>Lionel Porter<br>Time; Morning, Day 2<br>Location; Library Crypt<br>Tagged; no-one yet</strong><hr>...As Lionel looked down the crypt's staircase he said "Sentinel, check the life force levels in this dungeon, to which an instant reply of absolute zero; not a single being with any form of life existed, everything was dead. And so Lionel made his way down the stairs, walking down quite a distance in order to find the Tome he seeked.
