Welcome to Gaia! ::

The 'king' sputtered as the 'queen' huffed past her, and 'settled' for crossing her arms and leveling a glare at both 'queen' and 'knight'. They were both crazy. No doubt about it. She finally unbent enough to 'order' some 'nearby people' to help make sure everyone was out of the library before attempting to make sure 'he' and the 'queen' were taken to safety. "My queen! We must go before we burn with it!" She made to take Reign's arm (making sure she touched cloth, not fur) and haul her out of 'there'.

Reign frowned at the 'king' and squirmed, trying to free herself. "Here," she told Papina, dumping the armload of books into the other girl's green arms. Then the chimp girl went back to the bookshelf to get more books off the shelves and 'save' them from the 'fire'.

Papina lost hold of Reign's arm at some point, but that didn't really matter compared to what their teacher said. Her eyes got round as she asked, "Really quickly?" She couldn't help but think what would happen to her if she had been in there at the time... well, unsealed in there at the time since she had to be one of those scrolls that got away. "Were we with the scrolls that dissappeared?" How many didn't make it?

Isdra blinked at the new development and turned to look at Mr. Dude, completely ignoring Reign and Papina for the moment. "Will we ever be able to help the scraps? I mean, can they ever be released? I mean, it would suck to be sealed up thinking we cou- WAIT... Why did we seal ourselves up? I mean, did we know that we were going to be released? Or did we think we were always going to be sealed? I think I missed the review or whatever that told us what we were and all. What were we? Why were we sealed up? Why don't we remember, Mr. Dude?" Oh gosh... How can she have so many questions?

The old man shook his head. "I don't know if anyone can help the scraps. Most are burnt beyond recognition and some even seem to be copies of the burnt scraps. As to all that other stuff. I don't know. You see, after that the Historians went underground. Eventually they... faded away until no one believed there were scrolls with people sealed in them anymore. Until I started researching fairy tales and myths. Only a few years later I met Nara, who had been unsealed. I was the only one who believed her. Everyone else just said she was mixing her myths up. Still.. She's a better person to ask these questions than I am. Why don't you girls go and ask her later?"

Asking Nara made sense. After all, who would know better than the only scroll child that was older than them? They would have to ask her later about that kind of stuff. She wondered if Nara even remembered why she was sealed.

Dr. Smith started to launch into another lecture mode, before a glance at the clock stopped him. Had it really been a little over an hour already? Phooey. "Well.. I guess you girls will have to go. Class is over.. Nara's out looking at another possible scroll so you'll have to bug her when she gets back." A half-frightened look darted across his face. "Just don't tell her I told you." Quickly the old man walked the children back to the temple.
