Kiera laughed as he took his hand. "Of course I would make you wear it! It's your status. Wouldn't want anyone not to know it." She laughed again. Asher decided to stay home for this one. It wasn't a hard decision, really. She figured Kiera and Shortstraw needed some time to themselves, and now Asher had some time to do her own thing for the day. Kiera smiled. "Yeah, I should totally make you that badge." Urgh, that frequency had come back into range again, made her palms sweat a little.
"So you're sure this has all that we need?" The king nodded in reply, as he held his harm out to present the pool of purification to the man. "I'm sure you'll find all you need, here, my lord." The man licked his lips and crouched down next to the pool, dipping his hand in it and swishing it around. "I'm not a lord. Don't address me as one." The king nodded and folded his hands back into his robe. "As you wish." The man pulled his blood red hood further over his face and kept his hand under the water. "Your help is very appreciated, though. The Ice dragon cult are some formidable people." The king sighed. "And peaceful." The man couldn't help but laugh darkly. "Since when have dragons been peaceful creatures?" The king seemed agitated for a second. "Since we learned that fighting never got anyone anywhere." The man stood up and put his hands on his heavily belted hips. "Where the hell is the fun in that?" The man turned to face the king, and put his hands in his jean pockets. "Yo' kingy. Got anything sugary? And where's that darling son of yours?"

*Shortstraw chukkled, "hmmm about time i would be reconized for my rightful place." he laughed. He then noticd her hand sweat alittle. Keria? Sweat? That didn't make much sense. But he figured if anything he would just keep an eye on her. It wasn't long untill they reached the libary where they walked in and felt the air conditioning slap them int eh face, makeing shortstraw shiver, "wft, wheres all the heat!" The lady at the front desk looked up, "sorry dear there working on it." He chukkled, this old lady seemed nice enough as shortstraw nodded, "perhaps you can help us." He looked to keria then back to the older lady, "we need to see the restricted section."

Kiera nodded. "Official business." The old lady stifled a small giggle then nodded. "Oh my, you sound so serious, you two." Kiera sighed. "This is kinda serious." The lady nodded. "Then follow me~" The woman grabbed some large keys from the hook behind her and shuffled her way from behind the desk, motioning them to follow her. Kiera looked to Shortstraw before shrugging, and following on after her. It was quite a while of walking, too, before they reached a very big barred door with prison-like walls cutting it off from the rest of the giant library. The woman fiddled with the keys before she stuck the right one into the big padlock. And as she removed the chains from the door, she opened it and held it open for the two to walk through. "Don't be too long dears! Library shuts in a few hours~"

*Shortstraw nodded, "thanks." He looked to Keria and then stepped inside to find the large room with alot of desks and bookshelves covered in old books and perseved documents. As he stepped in he made a face, "there are millions here... where would i even begin." He chukkled, "can your mind reading powers magicly see the book i need to find." He joked playfully as he pulled her behing him, he was alittle excited, after all he liked to read, learn new things, and write. This was a combination of all of it. "I wonder if this is were yuji gets all his spechal books from, like his privet collection or somthing. it would defently seem right to put it in a ristricted section of the libary, i could see him doing that." He nodded.

Kiera shrugged and moved over to a shelf. And she flinched when the door was shut on them. Talk about giving her a heart attack. But as she settled again she came close to the line up books and scanned her eyes across them. "I dunno. I would have thought he'd find more adventure in getting all the books himself. Not get them from some-" she dragged her hand across the spine of a book and stuck her tongue out in disgust at all the dust, nothing had been touched in years. "-dusty old library." She picked up a book from the shelf and coughed as she was sprayed with dust, so she held it away from her face as she opened the front cover. But to get all the dust out, she held it in her tips of her fingers, by only the front cover, and shook it gently. "Urgh. Everything's so old in here." She put the book back and disappeared down another line of shelves. It was quite dark in here, too, she noticed. No windows, no nothing.

*Shortstraw looked around, "i wonder if maybe we could... change this alittle. Fix it up for our own use. Since your aloud to come in here..." He then stopped as he saw somthing move between the book selves. Shortstraw was quick to chase after it, as it moved quickly then slid from under one selve and hopped over another to then bump carelessly into keria. It was a claoked man in a fully dark green cloak as he rolled on the foor, "AH CRAP!" He replied as shortstraw caught up and pulled Keria to her feet again first before walking over to the man. "Who are you?!" Shortstraw asked. THe man shied and sat indain stile and looked away, even though he was fully cloaked, face and all, "relax, I come here all the time. My brother alows it." Keria may have reconized the vioce... maybe... it was a long long time ago since this person had been near her.

Kiera's eyes twitched slightly as she got closer to the man. "Don't I... know you?" She inquired. She nodded to herself then smiled. "Uncle." She wanted to hug him for a second, then.. figured that might not have been appropriate. No, definitely not. Tough warriors, they were all tough warriors here. She had to keep reminding herself of that, sometimes. She didn't even remember how long it had been since she last saw him.
The man held Cyril's jaw tight in his hand and licked his lips again. "You're so cute when you're frightened!" Cyril stubbornly swiped the mans hand away and took a couple of steps back. "I'm no' your pet." The man put his hands on his hips and leaned forward slightly. "Oh but you're adorable! I simply have to have you." Sean stepped in between the man and Cyril. "Please now, we were discussing something." The man sighed and stood up straight again, raising his arms to rest on his head. "Yeah, sure, fine. Carry on."

*Fu shied, "it's been a long time i know. But trust me i remember you ever day." He chukkled and stood up brushing the dust off himself. He then crossed his arms, "I come here to get away from yuji really. He's always talking about how proud he is of you and all the annoying stuff like that, or giving me more useless missions and tasks to do for him. So i come here to hide away. Sincei wrote some of the books in here, i find it approrate." He looked to shortstraw, "i heard alot aobut you aswell, but i don't think i've actully met you." He nodded, "you are correct, yuji, cc, and I have stored a few things here, but each of us of course has the most important things stashed away. I didn't know you were even aloud to enter this place to be honist, " he replied to Keria, keeping a distance from her as he walked to a book self, "ah here it is. Cowinicidently." He pulled a book form a shelf.

Kiera shuddered a little and yawned. She was as curious as ever. "How have you been, uncle? I don't really want to talk about all these boring old books like Shortstraw does. It's been so long since I last saw you I don't even remember when I did actually last see you." A book caught Kiera's eye suddenly, and she took it out of the shelf to study closely.
The man fiddled with some ornaments on the table nearest to him, bent over with his hands in his pockets. Sean gulped. "My father is willing to partner with you." The man sighed and scratched the back of his leg with his boot. "There's a 'but' coming in here." Sean nodded slowly and a drip of sweat passed down his face. "But he isn't sure what is in it for him." The man's grin suddenly disappeared, as he straightened his back and put his hands in the pockets of his red hoodie. "What's in it for him?" He laughed. "You're funny, cutie~" The man turned to face them, face still shielded from view. "How about, if I partner with him, I won't storm his kingdom and slaughter his men, rape his women, hang his childrens guts from the trees...?" He moved over to Cyril and Sean, and slung his tattooed arm over Cyril's shoulder. "And I get to keep this little sweetie right here~" Sean grimaced and took a step back. "You're out of your head." The man nodded proudly and licked Cyril's neck slowly. "Yup."

*Fu shied, "that day when you defeated the scarfman. When you lost control and i dove in to get the TMD in order to get yuji back so him and your mother could seal you up before the world was distroyed. After that day, my life had changed alot." He nodded and put the book back, "wrong book." He then searched the shelf again, "I was only near you for a second, and it scared me pretty badly. Since that day, i've been trying to stay away from my brother and his familily, becuse afterwords each of you moved on, and i was left alone. Laying there. I don't hate you or them, or anything like that, i just... feel alittle credit should have been given. I lost alot for this world in my lifetime, and not once have i been awarded or givin a thanks by my brother." He shied, "i was even the first to submitt to his hyakki yako in order for it to get moving and to give him coffidence, and yuji uses me like a tool to do his dirtywork. Even till this day." He nodded, "i'm sorry i souldn't speak like this. Not here. Not now."

Kiera shook her head. "No, It's fine. You're allowed to talk however you like, whenever you like." She looked to the floor sadly then back to him. "If my retarded father hasn't said it yet, then let me make up for him." She walked a little closer and smiled to her uncle, putting her hands behind her back. "Thankyou." She chuckled. "I know it probably won't mean anything, coming from me. I've done a lot to ruin most of what you have, and successfully, too. And for that I'm really sorry. I can't regain myself from that mistake. But.. I've changed now, as have you. I would like to leave the past as the past." Oh how hypocritical was she, talking about starting anew when she would never think of such a thing with her parents or sister. "If I had known you were.. this way. I would have done more. Honestly. But back then I was ignorant anyway. I pushed everyone away. I wouldn't have known any better." She looked down again. "If my father tells you to do something you don't want to do, just say no. If you can't do that, then let me help you." She smiled again.
Cyril escaped from the mans grasp and made sure that Sean was between him and the man. Urgh, this man was a real creeper. Cyril couldn't even tell how old he was, in that getup. His hoodie hid his face and body. But Cyril could see his forearms, tattooed like nothing he had ever seen before. What monstrosity was he? What was his name? Where did he come from? The man scratched his head and stood lazily with his hands in his pockets again. "Well? What do you have to say, cuties?" Sean looked back to Cyril then to the man again. "I'll talk to my father about it." The man rolled his eyes and walked dangerously close to Sean, face inches from his own. "I don't want that old geezer's opinion. What's yours?"

*Fu shied and looked to her, "as i said, i never blamed you. And sadly i cannot disobay Yuji due to our rediculis pact he made me submit to. I have no chice but to do as he says. Except latly he's been more paying attention to ameile and donte, so he hasnt had time to send me alover latly." He chukkled, "though i do thankyou for trying to make it up to me and applogise. I'm afrade however I am still scared." He chukkled and looked to shortstraw, "when she looses control and her abilitys overload, she gets as hot as a sun, it can melt your flesh clean off your body, makeing you a horrable looking undead mess. How i servive, no idea. I tryed ever healer i could find. Even the best of the best. Non can undo the burns i've taken. Mainly becuse my left over burnt meat is melted to my bone structure." He the looked back to keria. "And again. I do not hold you accountable. So don't ever put that on your contious. I made the choice." He was smiling even if they could see it.

Kiera shrugged a little and looked back down the line of shelves. "Fine, if you can't disobey Yuji, then that practically gives me permission to torment him in your place~" Not that she ever did care anyway for Yuji. "I'm glad you don't blame me, though." She chuckled awkwardly as she scratched the back of her neck. "Yeah... I think we've found a way to contain myself when something like that happens, now. Because recently my body absorbed the Tmd and my body started to overload even worse than before. Now situations like that are all sorted, though." She smiled.
Sean suddenly felt like he was going to sneeze, and took a couple of steps back as he did. "I suppose it would be the.. wisest choice to make an alliance with you. For the sanctity of our peace." The man grinned then nodded. "Good choice, King of hearts." Sean pulled a face. Huh? What did he just call him? The man turned back to Cyril. "I suppose I'll be on my way, then. I'm a busy man." He licked his teeth then dragged his tongue across his lips once more. "I'll come back for you, my little King of clubs~" Cyril pulled a face as suddenly the man disappeared from sight. "He's a creeper." "And we're royally screwed." " 'Aye. That we are."

*Fu chukkled, "indeed. However i find that that neckless of yours is gone aswell. So that must mean what you say is true. I do agree, i can see the diffrence from the little girl you once were and now. You have grown, and sadly you still have much more to do." He took a deep breath, "I have been depressed about all this for years, and now honistly i do feel alittle better about it. Perhaps i can help you. I know this libary... somwhat. After all i am one of the recorders here. So, what is it your looking for." He asked keria in perticular. And as shortstraw headed into a area to look himself, fu leaned alittle closly with a low vioce, "who exacly is he? Why is he here? Only the select few are aloud here, you being one of us, Eve, and Veria. After all." He stood stright, "you are replacing us. Were were the three greatset brothers, and you three are the three greatest sisters, seems some bloodline has made time repeat itself a tad bit." He suggested.

Kiera shrugged slightly. "That boy is with me. You haven't been around to see him, but, he's very.. important to me. Me and Eve made him our adviser and he needed some confidential information about this.. well it's complicated to explain. It's to do with the things he sees in his subconscious and in order to unlock some of his abilities he needs to open all these doors with these symbols of them. It really is a long story. We're looking for any information related to those symbols that he saw." She shrugged again. "I'm in the dark here, I don't know what they look like. I just came to accompany him."
