Welcome to Gaia! ::

After he had explained, she didn't really seem to say much else, all except repeating what he had said in order to remember it. He understood it was a lot, but she seemed to be catching on quite well. Replacing the book her got back to Cora and said "So," using his index finger to press some invisible buttons on the giant green orb. He wasn't look at her but listened to her, and said "do you still require travel arrangements? I'll be more than happy, besides. My zeppelin is private, hasn't got daily citizens flying on it". He then added "ah" as he finally found the location of the book he required, it was several floors down unfortunately.

((that's a very good point... I'm going to say that many books will be in English, or very close to it, a common tongue for most of Occulas. Specfically since most of the Eternal would have been british in prehistory. So yeah, they'll be readable for Cora, some might be harder than others due to old-english or simply other alnguages from around the world smile ))

Content with where he had to go, the green golden orb went into a dormant state, showing no signs of being used once more, simply floating in the air above its pedestal. "Well then" he said, turning around and looking round a corner. "we can leave as soon as i find this book..." he was staring down the hall of shelves and ladders until his eyes adjusted to the darness and saw the stairway. "You may follow me if you like" he said with a smile.

Walking down the massive room he passed many shelves of books and scrolls, some from around the world, others from the ancient scribes of Occulas, some immediately after it was created by the Eternal. This was the most important library in Magic Earth, and yet no one worked here, it was almost like a building lost in time. Many people would often wonder what stopped thieves from stealing, but some rumours tell tales of ancient curses.

Nearing the archway it was pitch black until he pulled out that small glowing orb that floated effortlessly above his shoulder. He then persisted down a stone spiral staircase, passing several doorways leading to toehr corridors and other floors. It was old and dusty, unused for years. But soon enough he found the room he was looking for. It was a small room, almost fashioned like a chapal, the odd angel statue here or there. "well" he said, looking around in the darkness, his magic hardly lit the room very much. Looking at Cora who he hoped had followed, he said "Seems no one has been in this room for quite some time". It was true, cobwebs hung from the corners, no carpets lie on the floor, a few stone shelves gave home to soem books, but mainly alcoves in the walls gave home to individual, expensive looking books that were heavily decorated.

Cora seemed to enjoy the books, he recalls her taking a gander at several on the way down. In here though there were a few less books to choose from. His voice echoed in the room as he replied "I'm looking for an old scholar's book, he wrote a lot about Angels" he said, moving over to the same alcove she was at. Surprisingly, she was at the right one too, it held the symbol of the Order of Injustira, what the Syndicate was before it became an official guild. "Ah, here it is" he then said. "which brings me to a fair point" he plucked the dusty book from its resting place and put under his arm as he said "Many people here are unsure whether to believe angels exist, but i can tell you they are. Which takes me to another point. Alongside the races of the Eternal, there are others that did not originate from them. " he placed the book down on a small table beside him as continued to speak. "There are the Elves, not related to the High Elves. They predate everyone else in Magic Earth, as they originated from your world and were even around before the Eternal. They lived in forests and were forever youthful. And there's also the Scarred" he voice darkened almost at that name. "They are native to the continent of Bloodholme, but we never have any trouble from them, they're part demon, part human or any other race, they're impure. And lastly, there are the Divine - like me. Many years ago it's said angels descended from the Heavens and drank from the fountain of immortality, but the effects were the opposite of what they expected, they lost their wings and their already owned immortality, becoming just like any other race of Magic Earth"

She spoke about being right, what were her thoughts? He smiled at the comment of being an Angel, he would sacrifice too much to be able to see the Heavens, a beautiful metropolis int he sky he had thought. Then she commented about him being too kind for an ordinary man. "It's my job" he said with another smile, carefully taking the book from her palms. "Well, that, and keeping the Scarred out of the Isle of Elixer, where the fountain of immortality is. Several months ago they almost got away with it. It's what being half demon does to you i guess. They're all half demon - half demon and another race, usually human. " he then paused as he looked around and remembered what he was doing. "Anyway, shall we make our way to the Lightcleaver?" he asked, calling the Zeppelin by it's name.

((it's entirely up to the person on how far you go with the detail, i'll usually comment on the time of the day if im first to post in an area/no one else is active there. Day'night cycles sometimes, sometimes i just time-skip to more interesting parts to save the nitty gritty stuff. E.g, for buying rooms could be that you walk in and say you'e already been through the business of buying a room, or you could do a little RP amongst yourself and the owner, i dont mind you writing what he/she says most of the time in those circumstances. And, glad you said about clothes, Lucas wears different clothes because he's distinctively a part of Injustira Syndicate, most people in Magic earth wear clothes just like Non-Magic Earth, since many people live ordinary lives with only a little bit of magic. But there are some peolpe that wear much different clothing, really depends on background really smile ))

She seemed excited to see the Lightcleaver, Lucas felt a warm emotion cradling his smile as he began to turn around, heading back up the staircase. Behind him she followed once again and passing each stone step he saw each shadow move, repeating tiself over and over as his glowing orb passed columns or steps. Back in the main hall he looked over his shoulder, noting how she played with her hair and was amongst her own thoughts. Drawing closer to the final staircase out he could see the bright sunlight outside htr grand glass windows that towered on each side of the giant double doors. Peering over his shoulder once more, Lucas Purevelion said " have you travelled in the skies before?", he wondered after taking the hair-braiding as perhaps a nervous habit. However, he didn't want to embarass or single her out, therefor not pointing it out, just asking a vague question in stead.

When he stopped on the main foyre his glowing orb vanished back beneath his layers of cloth as he awaited Cora's reply. the light shining through was bright and pure, having only the fainted yellow tinge to it.

As Cora caught up, she explained he previous experience, shedding light on her orphan background and catching Lucas' curiosity. He began to figure it was why she was a confident and well mannered young woman, she had beenw ith several families and so learned to accept what she was given and be happy for what she had, she was confident and knew how to take care of herself.

He chuckled almost at her when she mentioned the food. "Yes" he said, "When i lived in Alaska, i remember the bad food flying between there and California" he exhaled softly almost as if to laugh. He then began to walk away thinking about how his life has changed, spending the majority of it now in Magic Earth and rising the ranks of the syndicate.

The great double doors closed behind them and Lucas welcomed the cool embrace of the breeze under the warm caress of the sunlight. Gazing over between the two gatherings of trees he could see a small glistening lake, within it was a great silver blade slicing through the water. It was the Lightcleaver, the zeppelin of Lucas Purevelion resting silently like a boat in the water. It was made of steel and silver, a metallic and majestic ship with a giant white and silver woven balloon hovering above it. At the front of the Lightcleaver was a giant blade-like front pointing forwards and sinking down the front edge of the ship and beneath the water.

He looked back at Cora, she might have missed it on the way in, she may have come from the other side of the building, especially if she was coming from the Crossing, as most people did since the beginning of Magic Earth. But this was his ship, the mighty Lightcleaver which has taken him on many a journey, even once with Team Elixer... A time that even he did not remember with the happiest of memories of late. Nonetheless, he was happy he could enjoy such moments in the past.
