Setting
Here is the Library; a maze of towering shelves and dusty books. Every subject you could imagine can be found explained in one of these thousands of works of literary genius... Including those one might deem unsuitable for the more common libraries of public domains. Of all the themes of Vankoryth's literature collection, those of sin, forbidden fantasy, of blood and the night; these are the most common... And if one looks deep enough, they find all sorts of secrets.

Zosimos hopped from where he was, towards the door. He plucked a book from a shelf, at complete random it would seem, tucking it under his arm and marching away. Framed by the massive and beautiful Library doors the man glared at where the Harlequin receded. He still smiled.
Daemala Tauvyr has been officially overruled.
"I'l relay the message, and if you find any information on those wolf sigiled rings with the ruby eyes, do let me know," Zosimos had a feeling the Harlequin would have trouble resisting mystery, "You can ask Daemala all about it when she gets here."
With that, the vampire was gone into the labyrinth of halls.

With a giggle, Terun slipped through the shadows under the great library doors. The boy vampire flickered from shadow to shadow, not bothering to turn on any of the lamps or light fixtures. High above a chandelier burned too dim to cast enough light for most mortals to see. He liked it best that way.
"Neriiisssaaaaa," Terun called, gravitating toward a table piled high with books. It seems Akio purged the science section again.

Nerissa went right though the door into the dark room. She lost herself looking at shelf upon shelf of books much more then she had ever seen not even in her old coven...
Nerissa was broken from her thoughts when the boy yelled out her name.
"Shh! It's a library!" Nerissa play scolded putting a finger up to her lips.
But part of her worried about who else might hear them... and her face likely showed it as she turned to glance at the books. "I like the stories about magic and nature...gods and myths... and history... what about you?" she asked the boy as her eyes glaced around the shadows.

"I like history too, and nature especially!," Terun said quieter with another little giggle. Nerissa seemed suddenly uneasy and he wondered why, but didn't want to ask. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and forgot it quickly as he reached the nature section. It was filled with giant books, most of which had many images and diagrams.
Terun pulled one off of an eye-level shelf. It flopped open on the carpeted floor with a dull thud, flipping open to a random page. He pointed to the creature on it, "I've never seen one of these, have you?"

This boy was full of energy. If she wasn't dead Nerissa would likely be wore out by now. She moved and hovered over the page. She studied the page for a moment and shook her head.
"I don't think i have ever seen one of those." Nerissa said.
Hovering higher in the room she looked around. "So any spell books in here?" she asked the boy.

"Spellbooks?" Terun wrinkled his nose. He knew they had plenty, but they were on higher shelves, and most of them were written to be very boring. There weren't as many pictures in them as he originally anticipated.
Terun snapped shut Creatures of the Cursed Wood and shadowflickered his way over to the right section and pointed. There was a lot of dust on those shelves- vampires had little use for spells, Terun always assumed.

Nerissa made her way to the spell books and using her telekinesis began to turn the pages. Mostly just formulas for potions of this and that. but soon she from one teaching now to cast a Lightning bolt.
Nerissa spoke some odd words and a zap of lightning shot from her ghostly fingers. A blue arch that landed inches from Terun's feet.
"Oh I'm so sorry it has been awhile... they burned my old books... and death drained many of the powers I once had...

Terun jumped as the blue arch connected with the ancient carpet right next to him! In the blink of an eye the child was gone, moments later poking his head out from the shadows of a bookcase a few down from Nerissa. He stared up at her in wonder-he had no idea that the books up there contained such power!
"Well," Terun said matter-of-fact as he allowed himself to fully emerge from where he was hiding, "You seem pretty strong to me..." An inquiry crossed the child vampire's mind, and he wasn't well socialized enough to keep from blurting his question out.
"Who is they?" Terun didn't think he'd like whoever it was very much. It didn't sound like they'd approve of his existence, either. He climbed up a ladder close to Narissa to thumb through titles on the higher shelves.

Nerissa's face darkened at the boy's blurted out question and the room turned cold as the memories flooded her mind....
Men in robes with so called holy relics hanging from their necks. Dragging her out of her home... tying her to a post and lighting a flame at her feet...
To Terun it would look as if Nerissa was just staring off into the shadows until she finally spoke.
"Witch Hunters... men claiming to do the work of some god..." she shook her head. "No one you need to worry about..." she said with a sigh her voice darkened as she added. "They aren't around anymore..."

The imagery Nerissa produced struck a chord in Terun. It felt familiar, and he wondered...
Suddenly a cacophany of chants filtered in through a high window, the light filtering through the stained glass growing dim. Uhoh. Something must have been going on outside the castle. There was a great scraping of stone as outside the gargoyles sprung defense systems into play. Terun looked from Nerissa, to the window, and back again. He shivered in the chill of the room.
"Gods," Terun scoffed. Zosimos thought he was a God, and look where he was now. If there was a god Terun doubted he would exist.

Nerissa noticed the light and sounds coming from somewhere outside. She raised a brow at Terun and floated towards the window to peek out as she asked. "Think we should check it out?"
Nerissia didn't wait for an answer but instead phased though the window. Turning invisible as she did so.
