In the centre of Adsh Caost town, where the buildings begin to take on a grander appearance as they near the castle, there sits a large library several stories high and adorned with many various brightly coloured gargoyles and pieces of art. Inside there is a large enterance all painted with a map of Emania and the surroudning lands. There is a desk and a young woman sits at it, deeply involve din her books. Aroudn her and for any many rooms there are stacks and stacks of books on curved shelves that are nearly overflowing - many covered in dust.

After several times of asking around again, Vence found the Library, as there indeed was one. It was a fairly large building, and decorative, as well. Well suited for around here. He walked up the short flight of steps and walked in.
The interior was just as refined as the outside, with countless books lining the walls and shelves. There was a flight of steps a little ways off, signifying a second floor, with probably just as many books. How was he supposed to find what he was looking for?
His question was laid to rest when the reception desk came into his notice. He gave himself a nod, and walked toward the desk.
"Excuse me," he asked, bringing his voice to a low tone, "do you know where I can find any information on Drakes, or anything close to it?" As the receptionist looked up, he gave a small, friendly smile. He probably didn't look like he was from around here, seeing as normally more...well-to-do folk, could read, and not people like him, so to speak.
"It's rather important, honestly speaking, and I have no basic knowledge on them."

"Basic info from these books isnt a good idea Vence If you want to know about your drake I can help you there." Renten closed the book he was fliping through and turned to the Librarin and said "May you please check book vualt 555-4 its under the old name last Amay. the pass word is." Renten wrote something on the paper and handed it to her. "I would like to check out the book King Ro' dens book of the Drakes."

Vence looked over to Renten, rather surprised to see him there.
"And you got here before me, even though I left before you by a longshot? How peculiar. And it would have been nice if you didn't say my drake. I don't want people badgering me about how I got a hold of one."
Despite the discomfort, he shrugged it off, watching the receptionist/librarian head off to find the book Renten mentioned; who-knows how long that would take, a building of this size. He returned his gaze to Renten.
"So...what do you know about Drakes?"

"Lots of people have drakes its not really a big thing to obess over. I know quite alot i know what types there are, what they need to eat, how to train them, How old they will be when they start to fly, and some other stuff." Renten said as he looked around. "Its been quite a while since Ive been here a long time ago."

"I have never seen a man or woman carry around a Drake egg in my life. There are somewhat difficult to get, if you didn't notice, seeing as there's a good chance a mother drake will be watching you."
[btw, I found the "Sun Shrine." If you don't mind, I spiced it up a little. 3nodding ]

"I look up a lot too."
Vence sighed, putting his head down. Sometimes he felt like getting away from everyone. Especially now that Craban had pretty much pissed him off.
"Tell me when you have the book." Vence walked over to a neaby table and plopped into a seat, putting his head down on the table.

The Libarian returned with the heavy book and gave it to Renten.
Renten headed over to Vence an set the book down. It was a large that looked like sevral books together. on the cover was two dragons biteing each others tails. in the center was a circle with an 8 in an angle.
"Well this is it." Renten said as he rotated the 8

Vence lifted his head, inspecting the book.
"Looks kind of...old. How much info is in that?"

"That's not very long, I'll say, but I guess that's enough information on my part. The longest I've read is over 800 pages."
He picked up the book as he sid this, weighing it in his hand. Is was somewhat heavy, probably due to the size of it, and it's cover. It looked like it was made of heavy leather. He blew across the top of it, then swept away the rest of the dust that covored the book. Opening the fist page, he took a look at the writing inside. It was handwritten, like most books, but...
"Uh-huh. It's a good thing I can read elvish, rather than speak only a little. I gues this information was classified to a degree, huh?"

"Well its the whole book is over 2,000 pages 110 of those are about drakes. Well yea this is from the dawn of 700 years it has been recording war's, evolution of species and changes in the planet. Some of it is even writen in drow, and some is writen in code so t will take a while." Renten said as he sat down

"Codes I can break. The elves back home taught me a simple technique; works everytime. As for drow, I'll need someone to translate it."
So Vence began to read. It took him awhile to get used to the elvish writing, as it had been so long sinse he had read any, but he grew accustomed to it quickly. It was a good thing Vence had made a hobby of reading, else he would probably have tossed the book aside after ten minutes. He continued to read, taking in every piece of information. Even if it wasn't on Drakes, he would read about it anyway, and there was a lot not on Drakes.
