Finishing his meal, Jereth stood up, put away his books and notes, grabbed up the empty food tray and left the room. He needed to see the magi council as soon as possible. If his research was correct, then he might have found the cause of the eternal darkness that plaques the city as well as a possible way to free his sister from her pact.
Seeing a passing magi, he handed the tray to the other, placing it onto of the pile of of books the other carried, turned to lock the door and turned back to face the passing magi, only to discover it was the Keeper. Where as Jereth's domain was limited to the library itself, the Keeper was the guardian of all knowledge within the City of Darkness. It had been said that before the truce between magi and demons, the demons had hunted down the Keeper, coming close many times.
"Lord Keeper, I am very sorry for my lack if respect," Jereth bowed, then took the tray off the top of the pile of books the Keeper held in his hands, which appeared youthful, but everyone knew that this particular magi was far older then he appeared.
"It is quite alright, Jereth. Come, walk with me," the Keeper stated as he continued his trek down the long, well lit, corridor.
"Keeper, I am going to be needing to have an audience with the council. Is there any way you can arrange that?"
"More of your obscure ideals, Jereth? You do realize that the council sees you as a laughing stock, with your theories and assumptions. How do you suppose this time is any different?"
"Keeper, I had hoped you would hear me out first, so that you may back my findings, seeing as you are the wisest of all the magi." Jereth was desperate to get the council to listen to him, to believe him. The question was, would the Keeper back him up.
"Let's hear what you have to say," the Keeper finally said as they stopped in front of a door that opened on its own with just a flick of the Keeper's fingers. "Come in, and we shall talk." Both men entered the room as the door closed and locked behind them.
