The pages falling shut against her fingers as the pull dragged her onwards, Cyn cursed at the dull pain that emanated from her trapped appendages and found herself growing frustrated with the indecisive force directing her. “Make up your damned mind” the woman growled from between clenched teeth, sapphire orbs glancing over the titles of the tomes she was passing. The various volumes appeared to hold little in common although Cyn was hardly familiar with the contents held beneath the covers, and as the pull continued the woman found herself struggling to remember the titles that she had passed. “Any time now would be great” Cyn added, words continuing on from her earlier grumbled words.

Guinevere could tell the man was uncomfortable, and for that she felt a momentary stab of guilt at driving him for an answer, but her mind was quick to remember the reason for her insistency and the dark feeling soon subsided. Watching Aya through the vibration of her steps, the naga continued her unflinching observation of Dr. Smith as she waited for his educated answer. As her daughter gained the flustered man’s attention the woman shifted her sight from one figure to the other, frowning at strange response exhibited by the doctor and flinching at his sudden shouts. When the mysterious figure, the one who had lead her to the library, crossed the room and stood in silent rage, Guinevere chanced another question. “What issss wrong?” she asked simply, not having read the note and not wanting to assume what was written on the metallic paper.

Aurora held the first books. but as soon as it was in her arms she was pulled twords "Mendellian Genetik" she looked at the book as she got uit in to her hands before being pulled twords "Evolución; La Trayectoria Humana".

"This scroll must be a book worm i mean." she said before being pulled to "Revelations", "A Dios", "Into The Woods", and "Salvador Dali". She was relived to see some book names she recognized. but the pile was getting heaver and it was not like she had any extra hands or anything like that. Then as though the scroll could not make up it's mind she found her self picking up "Love; The Chemical Analysis", "A Voyage of Columbus", "Next Door" She was starting to wobble as she tried to get the last book that the scroll was pointing her to "Deux ex Machina". As she graped it she lost her footing and fell to the floor.

"That.. that... that person! Sold us out." Dr. Smith began to mutter, "Now we'll have to go redo everything and-" A loud crash broke his muttering. With a shrill yelp the man spun around, distracted.

Mr. Mysterious at the other hand, moved to help the woman pick the books up. He moved with the careful movements of one who didn't want to let loose his emotions. However, the sight of Aurora's scroll froze him in place for a moment. A glance down the isle to the other woman confirmed that she also had a scroll and stack of books. Quickly gathering the pile in front of him, Mr. Mysterious, or Iain as Dr. Smith had called him, gestured for the two women to follow him.

Getting to a table he spread the books out. "A puzzle," came a soft and oddly atonal sounding voice. The vowels were pronounced slightly off as if it wasn't his original language or something.

Aurora noticed the mysterious stranger helping to pick up her books she went to pick up the scroll when the she saw the man in the black robes freeze and then look at the other person over there who also had a pile of books. before she knew it he had picked up the books and had walked forward Aurora quickly got up and fallowed him.

"Umm Sir." she was guessing his gender. "Were are you going with those books." he held the scroll in her hand as they got to a table were he had spread out the books. She looked curiously at him as he said puzzle. "These books have nothing in common I mean nothing that I know of."

Mr. Mysterious began to rearrange the books, one by one, flipping through each book as he went. Nothing fell out, nor did any phrase or section catch his eye. He rearranged by dewey decimal, by subject, by author, by every category imaginable.. Finally he turned to the woman, gesturing for her to try to put the puzzle together.

((It tells the location where Nara is. All the information you need to figure it out is in these posts.))

Aurora pulled out a peice of papper and started to write fast she put the books back in to the order that she had grabed them and then started to write down the first letter of each of the titals. Once she was done with her pile she walked over to see the other grirs pile. She was in the zone and nothing relly could get her out of it. Aurora watched and took down the titals on the sheet of paper looked at it a few times befor relising she had forgotten to put in the scroll she had been taken to firsts letter.

Aurora looked at The Man in the dark cloak. "Eureka I got it." she said walking back over. She held out the sheet of paper and scribbled on it was what she had figured out. "That is Latitued and Longitude the place I am not sure were that is."

IMERAIS LAND 455 LAT 9410 LON

Dr. Smith paused mid-rant at the "Eureka!". Grumpily the man headed over to the table. With a sniff at the paper he shook his head. "There is no Imerais land on Gaia or Earth. And latitude and longitude have only three numbers, not four. Zero to 180." Though Dr. Smith was pointing out the flaws in the decoded code, Mr. Mysterious had already dissapeared.

After a few minutes, just as Dr. Smith was ready to go hunt the man down, he returned. Thomping a large book down on the table, he opened the front cover to reveal a shiney new atlas. Mr. Mysterious, glanced over at the woman for the coordinates.

((Very, very, very close))

Aurora Sighed befor relsing her mistake, She quickly Crossed off the I she guessed that was not needed. "I may mean Island though I am not sre Isand Merais Land, Is that a place on earth?" She asked

She then Removed Then thought better of it "4 Degrees 55 Lat 94 Degress 10 Longitude" she said again questionly

Cyn had struggled under the wait of her books, silently fuming that no one had offered to unburden her from the weight held in her arms; the emotion emphasised by the way in which she unceremoniously dumped the books upon the table. Taking several heavy steps backwards and crossing her arms across her chest, the pregnant woman glared at the small group that had formed before lowering her eyes to the supposed puzzle upon the table. As far as she could tell it was simply a mismatched collection of books, and even if they did hold some secret she had little intention of devoting anymore of her time to the Musaeum’s inconsiderate staff until they decided to dedicate some of their time to providing her with answers.

Offering the new woman a faint inclination of the head, a greeting that rudely unreturned, Guinevere scooped Aya back into her arms and turned to the collection of books upon the table. “A puzzle…?” she murmured to herself, trying to discern some connection between the tomes. Never having been very at anagrams and other such jumbled puzzles, unless given easily decipherable hints, the naga shook her head in defeated and listened as Aurora openly worked through the problem. Silently admiring the woman’s skill, Guinevere softly suggested – “Perhapssss Imera Issssland, rather then Imeraissss Land?”

Aurora Blushed relising her simple mistake "Imera island you are right that makes more sense." she said happly looking at Guinevere and Aya. "Though why were the scrolls showing us coordinates and the name Imera Island. Is there some thing out there that they I mean the scrolls want us to find." She looked at her scroll again and then at the books and then at the people around the table. "Umm these scrolls are dear I say it Magical or some thing like that."

Guinevere turned her gaze from Aurora to Dr. Smith and his mysterious companion, giving them a look that silently conveyed – ‘Will you tell her or should I?’. The expression extended to both questions, the naga not wanting to intrude upon a subject about which she too was just a beginner.

As the Aurora looked to her scroll once more, Aya’s attention followed; the little girl grinning, giggling and making grabby hands toward the canister. She had already been denied the object once, along with the shiny trinket that she had found, and this time reached with more energy and fervor. Noting her daughter’s enthusiasm, Guinevere sighed. “Would you mind if sssshe were to hold it for a while?” the woman asked, bouncing Aya higher upon her hip.

After rapidly flipping through the atlas and not finding what he sought, the shrouded man slipped off to get the Gaian Atlas. Returning he glanced at the numbers again and began to flip through the book. With Barton down as 0 Lat 0 Lon, it was an odd sort of atlas as no one really knew exactly how far Gaia streached. Following the guides, the man tapped his finger on a tiny island just off the coast, surprisingly not that far from the Library. Without a word or a wave the man spun on his feet and stalked off.

Dr. Smith sighed looking after his boss. "Well, Ah... I supposed I'd better bring everyone up to speed." For a moment he bustled around, dragging chairs over to the table. Sitting in one, he stared at the pile of books for a moment.

"Long ago there was a god who foresaw destruction in the near future. To prevent this he asked certain people to seal themselves away. When the time came they would be unsealed and right this great wrong. Unfortuately there are those who find the scrolls unnatural and offensive. They have tried to destroy these scrolls and the means of making them. While they didn't destroy it.. they did corrupt it. We're left untangling that mess." Dr. Smith shrugged and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The man that just left...I'm sorry for his rather short behavior. Nara, the only one that knows whats going on, was kidnapped a few months ago," the old man gestured at the books, "Those are our only clue. Nara also happens to be the only one that can unseal the scrolls."

Dr. Smith turned towards the two women holding scrolls, "The scrolls you have are probably part of this, but there's no way to tell for certain without Nara. You can, if you want, leave the scrolls here and ignore this mess or you can come back once she's been retrieved and find out if your scrolls are actually.. children. Like Aya over there." Nervously he waited.

Aurora sat there most of the story sounded like a badly written science fiction novel but then she could not help but relising that here and now she had become part of all this. Her teacher had sent her this scroll for a reason and she must have known that it had to be special and here it was the odd fact that this scroll could become a human being. She looked back at the scroll that she had found earlier.

"How could I not come back I mean this is a mystery a chalange a adventure. Well not one that I expected but hay this will be fun and any way this library of yours looks interesting." she looked at the books and scrolls. and then at the other scroll.

"What about that one?" she said pointing at it.

Listening quietly, having heard some of Dr. Smith’s story previously, Guinevere continued to bounce her daughter lightly against her hip as she waited an answer from Aurora. With all the excitement and revelations it was possible that the naga’s question had gone unheard, and if that were the case then the woman would simply wait patiently until either Aurora responded or until Aya resumed her demanding and insistent struggles. Out of the corner of her crimson eyes Guinevere watched as the mysterious figure located the Island they had manage to discern from the mis-matched collection of ancient tomes and scrolls; attention shifting back to Dr. Smith and the other women as Mr. Mysterious stalked off.

Cyn helped herself to a seat, considering no one had been considerate enough to offer her one, narrowed orbs watching the banter and discussion with barely concealed boredom and disinterest. The retelling of some long past history proved to be mildly more exciting up until the point that it was mentioned that the scroll’s would eventually emerge into children; being from that point onwards a source of rapidly growing anger. The ghoul despised children. They were noisy, messy, demanding, annoying, and expensive; and the list continued on. Having already been saddled with five children against her will, not to mention the child growing within her (something that she had also not chosen), Cyn was hardly impressed that a worn piece of paper could also eventually develop into a child.

With her expression having darkened several notches, Cyn lips pulled back from her teeth as she prepared to hand her scroll over and be done with this entire affair – but then she stopped, face remaining dark but appearing to become thoughtful. The scroll had be given to her by Orpheus, the vampire that had been responsible for transforming her into a ghoul, a man that was already silently critical of the way that she was raising the triplets and her interactions with her two older wards. Perhaps giving her this scroll was some sort of test? Some twisted opportunity for her to make ‘amends’ in his eyes for the ‘mistakes’ that she was already committing? Or some way to justify cutting her off from her blood supply? Inwardly growling, Cyn grumbled from between her teeth – “I shall keep mine also”

Dr. Smith sighed. "That one... We'll hold onto it for now. It's not like we can do anything without Nara. "I don't suppose we can have contact numbers from either one of you. Once Nara returns I'm sure we can unseal those children." He paused thoughtfully. "Oh, they also appear to grow much faster than other children. Why the oldest is in her teens and she was unsealed less than a year ago." He smiled at the women. "And that's about that!"
