@ZetsukoThe first page of the book swirled and shifted through many different languages before settling on one that Nybras understood. It was the first langue his people taught him as a child. Sadly the first page didn’t seem to be the beginning of any story but somewhere in the middle. As he absorbed the words images entered into his mind. A young man probably a human sat at a council. The viewpoint would move around and settle onto this man… as if Nybras was this man now. He would view the events that he was reading about through this man’s eyes.
“You think the demons and devils will hold true to this treaty!?” He yelled and would notice that he was standing and holding a parchment.
“They will or they will perish. The old one assures us of this.” Said an older man with white hair. He was balding and all that remained of his hair was a massive white beard.
“You speak of the Vampire!?” The much younger man at this council meeting retorted.
“He hasn’t ever harmed us!” A younger but still somewhat old man informed the council.
“And how long have you been alive?” Said the one that Nybras was seeing through.
“He is immortal and has lived for god only knows. If he did something to us then we wouldn’t even remember it. That and he has magical abilities that rival the gods… so they say.” He calmly said as he looked at everyone.
“If you don’t believe that these infernal creatures will throw the first blow you are dooming the human race! We dwindle now because of the last war with these beasts. We have one major city left and that is all that remains of our pure race!” He explained as he looked at the others.
“What about the ones who live with the elves and other goodly creatures?” Asked the old man.
“They water down our powerful bloodline by bedding with those creatures!” Scornfully the man yelled as he moved up and slammed his fist into the table. He was young and strong but that didn’t explain why the thick oak table cracked when his fist hit it.
“Enough!” Spoke a well-rounded looking man. He wasn’t thin but his muscle was there. He looked like he could snap the young man in half. The younger man moved back and sat in his chair to pout as he crossed his arms.
“This treaty is the only thing keeping us from desolation. If you push this council you will be banished from it for thinking so shortsightedly.” His words started to bleed together as the vision vanished and Nybras was looking at a blank book. It seemed that the book would only reveal so much information at a given point in time.
@VampyHe handed her some tea and allowed her to look around. The small pond didn’t ripple as she entered the small boat. It didn’t even sway in the water like a normal boat would.
“The night is beautiful, although I find it lacking something. Substance perhaps.” He paused as he poured another cup for himself and started to blow on the steam.
“What is it you seek in the garden? Peace, clarity, solace or did you wish to just be alone?” He asked and then started to blow on the tea again before sipping it gingerly.
“I suppose I come out here to clear my thoughts and look upon the beautiful night.” He admitted as he looked at her. His eyes red pinpricks beneath his straw hat.
“So many minds all running about… if only we were again…” He paused as if something stopped him from saying something.
“Could you imagine not having an eye?” He asked as he looked at her.
