Setting
Kota made his way through the, what he swore were 'mile-high', book cases, trailing his fingers over the fantasy novels. When he came across a book labeled 'Mountain Dragons', he pulled it off the shelf and tucked it under his arm and began to walk down the isle through the shelves of books to find a spot he could sit and read through his book. When he came to what could've been a living room in a rich persons house, he noticed a girl sitting in one of the chairs with a pile of books on the table in front of her. She seemed to be reading history book but he wasn't very sure. He put a smile on his face and approached her and picked up the open book she had laid on the table and looked at the page. "Oh, Noble record huh? That's pretty interesting." He said before setting the book back down and holding out the hand that didn't have the dragon book tucked under it. "I'm Kota Blackwood. Nice to meet you" He said with a bit of a whisper to his voice. He didn't want to disturb anyone else in the library that might be here for a late nights reading.
Himitsu had just noticed someone had walked up to her and picked up the record book she had set on the table. She looked up at a boy with blonde hair and the strangest amethyst eyes she had ever seen. She had a bit of a blank expression on her face until the boy introduced himself after he set the book back down and held his hand out to her. She shook his hand and then set the book she had in her lap on the table. "I'm Himitsu..and..yea I guess it's interesting. I'm just studying up a bit that's all." she said, giving a smile so not to look suspicious. "So where are you from?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

The family tree of the von Muran family in the Records book with a brief description of the family:
The Von Muran family has reigned over the Tatonia region for over 1000 years. In the 14th century, the Von Muran family and Tatonia took over many neighboring regions. This land is today known as Almania with its capital Muran (renamed to Muradnia during the reign of emperor Murad).
Family Tree
(last five generations)
Empress Ameliandaria x Sir Faran: 5 children (Erich, Dalia, Feria, Friedrich, Hilda)
Emperor Erich x Baroness Luxia: 3 children (Murad, Kalan, Helene)
Emperor Murad x Duchess Tumaia: 2 children (Erich II, Hilda II)
Emperor Erich II x Duchess Lessia: 4 children (Erich III, Hindala, Freya)
Emperor Erich III engaged to Baroness Elise: No children yet
Under Empress Ameliandaria it says that she lived from 1877 to 1930 though suspiciously compared to the other names, there is no grave location given.
Back at Amelias apartment, Xandir had gone to sleep so Amelia went and sat down refining her newest spells. She was a master in her work and always had the knowledge to create new spells such as the outside eye. She used it to spy on Himitsu seeing that she was in a library. Amelia noticed the title of the book. "Do not dig too deep or I will have to scare you." Amelia said but unless Xandir was awake, he would be the only one to hear her.

The name of the book was: "Summer with Finn" and it had a strange seal on it with a very complex design. "It seems like a memory book or photo book of some sort but its story doesnt seem to be about the empress but about a woman named Amelia and a man named Finn. I read it probably 50 times now because I was so fascinated by it." The library continued.
"By the way, in another book, there is a location of the Empresses mausoleum but after going there myself I found it too big and creepy to enter. She seemed to have a slight megalomania to want to have her body kept in a mausoleum that is 10 times the size of the von Muran mausoleum. If you want to enter it, then you will find it on the outskirts of the city." The librarian then marked a map of its location.
Meanwhile Amelia thought they were digging too deep and tapped her staff on the ground. The size of the seal went from the Esper to the royal library. Inside the library, all the books seemed to have come alive and started to fly around like birds. Then a stone statue of Erich the first came alive. The books stacked up into two walls leading the way to the three. The statue walked down the aisle and said in a demonic voice: "You shall not enter my mothers grave!" The statue pulled a sword wanting to attack the three. But Amelia made the statue weak enough so that they could defeat it with no big problems. All she wanted to do is scare them away from thinking about entering a von Muran mausoleum.

Himitsu leaned her back against the gate surrounding the mausoleum and let out a sigh. She never realized how large the town was until now. Though the afternoon was still a ways off, she was exhausted for walking so long. This made her wonder a little how Kota was doing. He didn't seem very strong back at the library when the statue had attacked them. She smiled to herself, admitting it was nice to have some company while her drunk mentor was probably suffering from a hangover and who knows what Amelia was doing. Though most likely this boy didn't have any magical talent, he seemed like a some-what smart person and it was nice having someone around she could pick on. In fact, she was hoping to get the chance to scare the hell out of him after they entered the mausoleum. "So!" she said, sounding a bit breathy as she turned to face the large stone building. "I bet it's a maze in there. Got any idea what we could use to mark the paths we take so we don't get lost?" she said, turning her head to him with a smile.
Kota looked up at the large building. This thing is a mausoleum? No way! why is it so damn big!? He thought to himself. He was thankful the sun had started to come up more, it might not be as creepy inside if there is some light. Though, the building didn't seem to have any windows. It probably went underground quite a ways and the gate surrounding it with a 'Keep Out' sign on the front made it all the more creepy. He sighed, wondering if he should actually go inside with Himitsu or not. If they ran into anything dangerous he'd be nothing but a burden to her, after all. He had always ended up being a burden when it came to fighting. "I bet it's a maze in there. Got any idea what we could use to mark the paths we take so we don't get lost?" He turned his head to look at her, his face a little confused. That's right she probably has no idea that I can use magic! He thought to himself. Though, he was a little worried that she could be a royal guard, but then again by the way she dressed she just looked like an ordinary townsmen, apart from the gun of course. "Well, I could just use my structure magic. That way I'll know exactly how the building is made." He said hesitently, hoping this girl wouldn't overreact, or worse, end up being a soldier after all.
Xandir woke up to Amelia’s voice beckoning him to wake up in his ear. He shivered and felt certain parts of his body react to this gentle blow in his ear. He sat up in bed and held the blanket over his lower body and tried to calm down so that Amelia wouldn’t see how that soft groan in his ear had affected him.
‘I’m surprised I don’t have a hangover.’ He thought to himself as he finally got out of bed and then looked at Amelia. He blushed as he remembered what had happened last night. ‘I should apologize to her and Himitsu. I was being so irresponsible last night.’ He decided now was not the time to bring that up because there seemed to be urgency in her voice. “Is something wrong Amelia? Where are we going?” He asked rubbing his eyes.
((OOC: Sorry for my absence I should be online for a while today to make up for it.))

Meanwhile Xandir had finally woken up. “Is something wrong Amelia? Where are we going?” Xandir asked. Then Amelia grinned and said: "Just wait it is a surprise." She grabbed Xandirs hand and suddenly it was as if they had shifted to another place. It was dark where they had arrived but soon with a snap of Amelias fingers blue torches lit up. When the room became visible, there was a large room. A grave between two large statues that shared some resemblance with Amelia was on one side of the room. One statue had horns and held a large hammer in its hand. The other was more of a woman of grace with shining beauty and a look that anyone would sympathize with. A special furnished wooden table with many chairs stood in front of the grave. It was set with expensive dishes but no food. "Please Xandir, have a seat while we wait for the other guests to arrive." Amelia said. "Would you like something to drink for breakfast? Maybe milk, coffee or orange juice?"
(OOC: For SukaiKori and Magic: Pass through the picture room before coming to a second room. A challenge awaits. We dont want to rush through a good scene do we?)
