In the far reaches of the Forbidden section, the floor become tiled and strange. Symbols mark odd tiles and the boockcases have been replaced with displays of artifacts scrolls and tomes. Shadows sway in the corners of the students eyes as the nature of the library sets in. In a particular clearing stands a pedestal with a log of all artifacts in the library.

[Philote]

I put the book away for a moment to observe the surroundings.

"Everyone, watch your step. I believe we were warned about the runes on the floor."

Eric doesn't even have time to put his foot down before Billy's arms are around him, holding him in place.

"The runes, Mr. Ashgrove! Were you even listening when I explained all this earlier? Mr. Zaubar, could you create steps with your shields to avoid them, and get to that book? Remember, School history and red eye symbols."

As the group deals with the pressure plates, they fail to notice a small locked book shift on its shelf and slide silently down the shelf towards them.

[Philote]

"That distance is quite far. I'll have to concentrate to make a shield path that long and strong enough to hold a person. Someone else will have to walk across while I focus my magic."

I sit down on the floor and bring a golden mote to my hand. Pointing forward, a path travels from my hands to the pedestal.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"All right, do it." Bully says, releasing Eric. "I'll be across and back in two shakes of a lambs tail."

He launches himself onto the softly glowing path, and bounds across as quickly as he can. Reaching the book, he opens it up and flips through, looking for any references to red eyes or the schools history.

(Rolling perception Marv, what do I find?)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The book lists many things, most of which are useless junk or irrelevant. It seems nothing will be of use until Billy came upon the last page. It held only one entry. Whereas all the other entries had been printed neatly in black ink, this one was hastily scrawled in a grey ink. It was difficult to read.

 Item # 777-13: One Stone Mural Depicting Scenes from Location 1034 of Kethencia: Kethencian College of Magic.

(Item Logged on 2/23 by M.M.)

Oddly, a full description of the object was missing. Flipping to the front of the book, Billy is able to check the reference guide to determine the general location of Item # 777-13 within the forbidden Sections many shelves.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Billy pulls out his little notebook and hastily scrambles the items name, number, and location. Then he scampers his way back across the glowing bridge and back onto solid ground.

"I found something interesting. I think this may be it. Come on!"

Billy begins to go deeper still into the library, navigating by shelf number. He just hoped the tablet was still there.

[Philote]

I drain a little of the magic stored within my necklace and follow Billy.

"What is it you think you found?"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

As the group walks the aisles of displays and shelves a strange presence follows them.  A book.  It seems to appear at random on shelves, never moving when seen but somehow managing to follow. The group remains unaware of it for the most part.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"A mural, a stone mural, like what you put in a tomb to show that persons history. This one is for the school. There!" Billy spots the correct number, and begins to move very quickly toward where the mural would be.

Billy stops, turns to Eric, looks at Gob, then looks back.

"Mr. Ashgrove, how do you light that thing?"

[Philote]

While we travel, I ask the group "Have any of you seen a language such as this before?" as I hold out the Sprite book.

"All right, Gob." Billy says, turning to the small monster. "If Mr. Ashgrove gives you his lighter, do you promise not to eat it?"

"Yes!...Not Eat!"

"Now this would be a promise between friends Gob. You never break a promise between friends, it just not done."

"Promise!"

"Good. Mr. Ashgrove, give Gob your lighter and the wick. He can stay here and keep watch on it. Now Gob, If anything happens, you light that wick and follow it out of the library. And if nothing happens, we'll come back for you."

Gob nods his head in nervous affirmation.

"Great! Mr. Ashgrove, hand over your lighter and wick please."

" Hmm..... Oh I know this! I think I can translate it later if you want me to." Samuel answers him.
