[Mkguild] Round Robin Continues!

[Indagare]

“So now we’re in the part of the Keep that moves.” Trey was enjoying the
company of the strange being called Kasaima-san. Kasaima-san, for his part,
was marveling at the architecture.

“Moves? How?”

“Uh, the spirit of the Keep, Kyia does it. I really don’t know the details.
It’s why the library is tricky to find. See, if Kyia doesn’t want you to
find somewhere–or insists you go–that is that. All roads will either lead
away from or towards it. Of course, most usually people don’t have to worry
about it.”

“I see. I’m grateful for you trying to help me anyway.” Suddenly they came
across the library. It stood five stories tall and had rows of long glass
on each story. The top was a blue dome that seemed to glitter like a gem.
The uppermost rows of windows seemed to be made of stained glass. It was
braced on all sides by flying buttresses.The doors were inlaid wood with
stained glass all around them. Directly above the doors, in a circle of
stone, there was a golden quill and a book in white marble. So carefully
was it carved that it looked as though it could be read if anyone could
reach it.

Kasaima-san let out a long, low whistle. “You’d have to go far to see
prettier than this! I’m already encouraged!”

They went inside. The vestibule was a well-sized area. The floors and walls
were burnished, inlaid wood that had a comforting, welcoming look. There
was a large, ornate rug on the floor in warm red with patterns of gold and
black. It had a border pattern very distinct from the interior, though not
in different colors. There was a desk immediately to the right. Just beyond
the desk there seemed to be a ramped pillar. Behind the desk was a human
woman in a blue dress who cocked her head at Kasaima-san.

“Welcome to the library, my name is Merlia. I’m the head librarian here.
How can I help you?” There was a definite questioning note in her voice and
she was obviously eyeing his weapon.

“I am Hikariarashi Kasaima. My name to acquaintances is Kasaima-san. I come
from far in the East where the library is legend.”


“Indeed? Well, what sort of information are you looking for?”


“I’m looking for a way to put the Broken Kingdom back together again.” He
smiled and looked at Trey. “And also what to do with a bunch of flying
rugs.”
