Lazarus takes his few belonging up to the room, following the ghostly servent, knowing the kind: They take direct orders, but questions and suggestions tend to be a bit beyond their direct understanding. He sets up his posessions around the room, and turns to the servent, who has stood at the doorway, awaiting Lazarus's order that he can leave. Instead Lazarus motions to the door, "Take me to the Library." and follows the servent to said room.

((Edit: in response to Kail/Kowsauni's response below mine, Servents from most countries, and posh socoities aren't technically suppose to respond to questions, unless directed to do so... Stating out loud something like, "I'm hungry" wouldn't normally get a response, depending on the training of the servent, where as, "Bring me something to eat" will cause them to ask, "What would you like?" they're not given to though, they're trained to be more like robots.

((Hmm...that's right. You weren't there when it happened. Vincent, during the "Here There Be Dragons" Quest used an elixer to remove the Demonic Sword. However he does still carry the thing on his back...and it is no less evil to be certain.))

Vincent leaves the woman to her busy tasks and takes her directions to the greenhouse. Hopefully he would find Kail there and more importantly Vincent hoped he was in a helpful mood.

((Oops, yeah I guess I am a little behind the times. I'm surprised you removed it, it seemed key to your character design. I'm rather interested to see what your character is like now.))

Lazarus is led down to the first floor and then to an enormous room. The place was lined enormous books shelves that toward to the ceiling, leaving little space in between for walking. Rolling ladders were attached to the sides to allow for access to the top. The walls were lined with stained glass windows that let what little light there was to be had. Over all the place had a dusky ancient feeling, and one of magic. There was a desk in the front corner of the room and sitting behind it there was what must have been the librarian. She looked like an ancient scarecrow. Tall and shriveled she had a long nose that was framed by a large set of glasses. She looked like she was as old as the library herself. "May I help you." She asked.

As Vincent comes out of the tower on to the roof the green house immediately becomes visible. It takes up almost the entire place. this is a small door blended in with the rest of the tinted glass making up the structure. As Vincent enters, he is greeted by a wondrous display of strange exotic plants and mushrooms. It looked like he had stepped out of Myir and entered another world. As he wondered through the jungle of towering foliage he could hear the faint voices of a man and a child. As Vincent rounds a corner towards the voices and comes across Kail'igen in his usual black attire pointing towards a chalk board. Sitting across from the chalk board there was a small pale child sitting on a stack of books. She looked like she was wearing a large mushroom cap for a hat. She immediately turned and looked at Vincent as he rounded the corner. However Kail was engrossed in writing something on the board and did not notice his new quest for a moment. "Good, that was very good, Now we will move on to something a little more complicated. Now repeat after......Vincent?"

"Vincent is the best warrior ever." Vincent smiles, "What?...You said 'now repeat after...Vincent'." He lets out a laugh as he walks over and gives Kail a friendly pat on the shoulder. "Just a joke, ma' friend. I've actually come to ask you to do possibly the biggest favor of your life... But first: who's the kid?...Wait a second...Kail? You lady killer you! Who's the lucky woman?!"

((FYI: Vincent is about to officially welcome you and possibly Petra into the homecoming quest.))

Lazarus walks into the library, and a genuine smile crosses his lips. He procedes along the rows of books, looking at all that he can, seeing which he's read before, and which are new. He comes to a section of lesser incantations he has yet to learn, and procedes to read several of the books, fleshing out his spell knowledge.

((Sweet, so that brings the total to what, 4? Vincent, Perrian, Kail and Vincent. ))

"She, uh" Kail pauses for a moment as he pieces together how to explain the young girl sitting on a pile of books before him. "I created her yes, but not in the way I think you are imagining. She came about as part of my research. Sort of an unexpected outcome, but a desirable one none the less. Oh, I am being rude. Basidia, this my friend Vincent. Vincent this is my 'daughter' Basidia."

The girl says hello and stares curiously up at Vincent. "Father doesn't usually get many visitors." She remarks. "Today he's teaching me how to read." She seemed to become a bit excited at her last comment. She apparently looked forward to these lesions.

"So" Kail continues. "What can I do for you, Vincent? You spoke of needing a favor. Possibly the biggest of my life, eh?" Kail raises his eyebrow. "Whats this all about?"

((I'll make something interesting happen In the library soon Lazarus, I'm just waiting to see if Androsia will come and join you first.))

((Actually, Laz, you are right: it is four people. But Vincent is technically not part of that dungeon...you'll see. It stands now as Perrian, Kail, Petra and yourself...we need another damage dealer...or a tank...and a really good one at that.))

Vincent chuckles at the uneasiness in Kail's response as he turns to the child, "So, sweety: you're learning how to read?" Vincent gently squeezed the girl's shoulder and smiled warmly, "You should be very proud of yourself." Vincent stood up and turned back to Kail. "I know she wasn't your...*ahem* birth child; I was just teasing an old friend. But yes...I do need a favor." Vincent suddenly becomes very serious...almost frightningly so considering his demeanor only a moment before. Somthing that someone not used to his mood-swings in battle would find more than a little unsettling, "I'm going home." The simple statement sets you back on your feet a bit, considering your limited knowledge you still know at least the general history of his past. For him to willingly volunteer to go home is extremely strange.
Vincent takes a deep breath and continues, "I need your help. Your magic is some of-if not the most-powerful in all of Miyr. With your help...we may stand a chance of reaching the capital."

Kail sighs and looks down at the floor. Those few words were a lot to take in. Basidia looks back and forth between Kail and Vincent not understating what had just taken place. Kail takes off his monocle and wipes the dust away with a cloth from his pocket. “To claim my past, and my destiny, I had to defeat many foes that sought to deny me them. I had to fight them alone. I would not wish the same fate upon a friend. I will accompany you on your return home. May my magic lend you the help you need, though I think there is one other we should consult.

Hearing the news of travel Basida’s eyes widen in excitement. She was always up for a new adventure. She quickly chimes in. “Can I come?”

((Could you give me brief summary of what Kail would know or just pm it to me? It’s been a while >< ))

Petra frowns at the sound of voices deep within the fungal greenhouse. She can't quite hear the words, though she recognizes Kail's voice... and one other? Her fingers tighten over the children's book Kail has asked her to fetch as she struggles to peer through the dense foliage. While she is peeking around a massive mushroom, Petra's eyes widen when she spots a familiar figure.

"Vincent!" she cries happily, as she presses through the plants to reach him. "Oh, it's so good to see you... again..." Petra's greeting dies on her lips as she becomes aware of the heavy atmosphere. "Oh, uh, I'm sorry. I, er, I didn't mean to interrupt." Suddenly embarrassed, Petra hands the book to Basidia and moves to stand awkwardly behind Kail. As excited as she is to see Vincent, something about the mood makes her feel that Vincent hasn't just come for a visit.

Kail takes the book from Petra and hands it to Basidia. "It's alright Petra. I'm afraid I will be leaving the manor soon, and it might be for quite some time. Vincent has just asked me to travel with him on his return to his home land. I Trust my sister will be able to run the place without me. "

Vincent smiles genuinely, albeit a little less than enthusiastically, as Petra comes up. "It is good to see you again, Milady." Vincent says with a bow. After hearing what Kail has to say Vincent seems to think for a moment, "Hold a sec, friend. I remember your healing prowess the last time we adventured together. You would be a great addition to the team. With yourself and Master Perrian we should have no worries of death!"

Petra looks between Kail and Vincent. Focusing on Kail's words first, Petra chirps, "Oh, Vincent, so you're... going back home? That's wonderful." Then she trails off, realizing she's missed something.

What did he say? An addition to the team? she thinks, puzzled momentarily. No worries of... death?! Suddenly her eyes widen in concern. "Vincent! Oh, you mean--it's dangerous?" Her hand covers her mouth in dismay. "Please, you must accept my help; I would never forgive myself if something terrible happened and I wasn't there to help."

Her heart is beating quickly in anticipation of combat again. Never mind, she thinks, I can handle it better this time. Staying here isn't an option. Though the past several months at the manor have been lovely and quiet, Petra's trial by fire with the wagon train has left her with a sense of duty that she cannot ignore.

"It would be my pleasure." Vincent says with a short bow. "We will leave soon...so be prepared to leave at any moment. We must time this right or we won't make it. The perils of travel to the northern lands are more numerous than one would think. The weather alone will be its own problem, so we must cross before the storms come...otherwise it'll be another six months before we could safetly cross."

“Then it’s settled. We will await for your word when it will be time to head out.”

Basidia waited patiently by while the grownups talked knowing better then to interrupt. However seeing her chance she once again chimed n with her unanswered question. “Master Kail, can I come.? She looked up at her father with big pleading eyes.”

Kail’ found it hard to resist her charm. “Uh, we’ll discus it at a later time Basida, maybe you can.” He didn’t want to outright tell her No, but this sounded like it would be too dangerous of a trip.
