The Librarian looked up from the book to check on his audience. "I understand that you have come a long way, but your questions have ancient answers and while I appreciate you suffering through my translations, we've only just begun. If you would kindly join me for dinner we can continue the book this evening." The Librarian looked tired and had significantly less pep in his step as he led the group out of the scroll room and back into the main library.
The windows were dark now, the librarian had been translating most of the day, Squints moved up to join him and they quickly fell into a conversation.
Brook, Dean, Lisa and Trent began their own conversation in hushed whispers. "I think we may have bitten off more than we can chew with this one." Brook started.
Dean shrugged. "That's assuming any of these stories are even remotely true." He countered.
Lisa nodded. "Assuming they are true, how do we know if the Paragon's are even still alive today, or trapped in physical form, or what ever it is the Titan's did to them." She asked.
Brook looked at the distant glare coming from Trent. "Thoughts?" She asked.
Trent cleared his throat. "It's a long journey no matter what. We've already traveled further than I ever have in my life and this thing has barely even started." He looked to Dean. "If you need to go, go. With what we brought in Gold we can buy a ship that will serve our purposes." He looked to Lisa and Brook. "You two can be back in Lidarion today by way of the door." He finished.
Brook shook her head. "If you are staying, I am staying." She said with finality.
Lisa nodded. "Brandon wanted us to work together and his efforts led us here, so here I stay." She agreed.
Dean shrugged. "I have no desire to ever let my sister beat me up again so my ship is your ship for as long as you have need of it." He offered.
Trent nodded. "Your all fools, but your my kind of fools." He said with a warm smile.
"Hey guys!" Squints voice echoed down the hall the group had stopped in. They looked up to see him peeking his head between two gigantic hand carved wooden doors. They were large enough to make Harruff look small and had barely needed to be opened for him to pass through. Squints was on the far side of the doors. "When you're done with your little meeting, you might want to look at this!" He shouted happily. and disappeared back behind the door.
They were not far from the doors, maybe a hundred feet and quickly made their way down the hall to see what ever had cheered him up.
