The whole of reality was somehow understandable and wrapped ip
in the symatry and perfection of Gesu, if he could only pry the
secret out. He inspected the aura of holiness, the perfection of
each hair and somewhere in there the pieces fell together. The
creation was all.. a jingling sound ground in his ears like the
screeching of a child and he blinked as he woke to the face of
Amaris.
"Wakey wakey..."
He bliked and lost the rest of it till the word books came out
of her mouth."
Wait, what? Oh, the library."

"Welcome back. Now you know why I have Gavri'el...all of the
pretty but without the overwhelming presence."
She grabbed his sleeve and started walking
"Come on .... we are wasting time standing here..."
The went out the door and down the hall, across a loggia and
through another door, down stairs and yet another hall. She
opened the door at the end..
"Welcome to the Library of the Forgotten. Mind the Keeper and
her Guardians ....and if you see my dear cousin,Myca - don't
bother speaking unless he does...he's cranky if you interrupt
his studies."
She tucked the key in an unseen pocket
I, or one of the guardians, will find you at Lauds, I have
training I must complete before dawn. May God shine upon your
search and lead you to what you seek."
And with she stepped in and disappeared among the seemingly
endless rows of books.

He was still clearing his head as he followed her pulling him
along. Once moving he did better coming into focus and figuring
out what was going on. He started looking around and getting a
feel for where they were going.
"Sorry about that. But it was worth it. And no.. he isn't as
pretty. Sorry."
No one had an eye like an artist. He loked at her suddenly
understanding that she was going to leave him. Which was fine
actually.
"How can I tell the guardians from your cousin Myca?"
And realized he was talking to an empty spot. He sighed and went
to go looking as quickly as he could He had so much he wanted to
look up and no time to do so. If only they could stay here a
month.

She heard him, but giggled and kept moving. She had a limited
amount of time and she needed to figure out where the books she
wanted were placed. So she moved through the the library in a
single minded fashion, unblinking eyes reading gilded spines and
weathered tomes as fast as her newly awakening speed would
allow. She hoped to run across a guardian...or even Myca. Anyone
who knew how and where to find things in this cavernous library
would be better than searching for hours alone.

Mannix heard the giggle and sighed. Now it was time to get to
work. He started looking at the stacks, at the books and seeing
what arrangement they might use. Fortunately he had been in many
different libraries all over the civilisd world. Hopefully he
can figure out this system as well. Then he started going toward
information about syrian mystics and what type of knowledge they
had or what they specialized in. He also needed to know about
blood use among artists. He doubted that kind of information was
in here but he would check. Then he was interested in artwork
imbued with blood and power and what it could do. He was also
curious about those other than Vampires that roamed the land..
damn it, he needed about 6 years in this place just to figure
out what he wanted to look at. He started with the first on and
went from there.

Also no stranger to libraries, she quickly found the pattern of
how the material was sorted and stored. She chuckled again, this
time at the silliness - it is exactly as her Sire would have it
- she should have known.
On track she now quickly found what she was searching for she
found the most recent book on the theory and a giant tome on the
practice. She sat where she was and began to read. She needed to
take notes...she thought for a minute before setting the book
aside and sculpting her middle finger into a small dull point.
Pulling up a sleeve as far as she could she began to write the
note she wanted into her skin ...which quickly drew blood. She
stopped and dulled the point more. This time it left perfect
indentations of letters. Soon, her arm would be full...

Mannix found the area about Sumeria and the mysticism there. He
took out a piece of calfskin and started to write using a quill
and a small bottle of ink brought fr the occasion. He copied
down as much information as he could even a he tried to absorb
it. He felt like a thirsty man surrounded by water but he could
only drink a thimbles worth at a time. He took down as much as
he could and then tried to find time enough to find art and
artists and magic and ways they could be connected.
Not enough time.

She had nodded at the Guardian as he passed then, before she
knew it, the bells for Lauds began to ring...
She had covered one arm and both legs with notes in her flesh
... nothing whole, just reminders of what she read and wanted to
remember. Reluctantly she closed the tome and re-shelved the
books. Straightening her gown she set off for where the the art
section should be located in search of Mannix.
He was not hard to find...
"We must go now Lord Mannix."
