The dragon nods, closing the door to the cubbard. He sips his own water before stoking the flame again, this time a natural orange red. |

Quill sips a little more then something dawns on him. No wonder he was alone with his delicate books. Quill was in the presence of a creature of legend. Dragons were rare enough but an albino dragon was unheard of. He considered the fact that the dragon in front of his was a magic all in it's own. It was the first albino creature he had ever seen at all. "Might I know your name Book Keeper?" he asks again, having been distracted by the water the first time. |

He nods his head again, pointing to a plaque on the wall that reads 'Leatherbound library'. |

"Leatherbound." Quill confirms. He was beginning to wonder if the dragons were taking pony names on purpose. each name was very pony like. But he pushed that thought out of his head for a concern more immediate. "Are all the books allowed to be read or is there a section for preservation only?" He was still in disbelief that he had found so many books down here in this cave system. |

He points to the one book in their current room. A leatherbound book of extreme age. It is faded but still holds the gold leaf image of a large unicorn on the front. It has no title, but the pedastal reads "do not touch" |

Quill approached the book with interest. He wasn't sure if he'd seen a book that old before. He held his breathe once he got close, remembering getting yelled at as a foal for bringing on the oldest book in the Manehattan library. Though that might have been because the librarian was a cranky old nag and he was breathing through his mouth because of a cold. But with a dragon for a librarian he didn't want to take that chance. It was obviously ancient but that couldn't be it's only significance.

A claw taps his shoulder, inclining he should back away from the book. |

He steps back and turns to him. "What is it. I mean I know it's a book but what book is it. I don't know if I've ever seen a book that old." |

His claw reaches out, handling the delicate pages that seem to tell a story with simply pictures. The story tells one that is familiar to quill, showing Sol and Luna raising and lowering the sun. But then it changes. And a page shows that confuses quill.

"But that's... Why would..." Quill asks looking very confused at the picture of Sol blasting what is obviously supposed to be a depiction of Luna in battle armor. "They taught us that Luna had gone crazy with jealousy for Sol and joined as a cult leader, trying to assassinate Sol. But this picture is all wrong. Luna is in a defensive state not aggressive. her armor is not of an assassin or warrior either they are light like stars. Sole is the aggressor and wears the crown of magic while Luna wears a simple cowl." |

The book is closed carefully. Quill receives no answer from the silent dragon who beckons him into the main part of the Library. |

Quill followed behind obediently. he wanted to know what was that strange book and what it's meaning was but he would get no information from the voiceless dragon. |

He leads him to the back, through another door to a darker part of the Library. These books look older, but still not as old as the one from earlier. Each one has a seal on the spine. A royal seal. But it is unlike the current royal seal. |

"Wow. Something tells me that some of these are on the banned list of books. Rarity would some times send us after such things because our skills were perfect for lifting books. though I'm not sure she turned in all of them. Some were quite beautiful. Where are we?" He looked around to see if perhaps there was a plaque explaining this room. Edited by Quill, 11 Sep 2012, 06:14 AM.

In the back, rested neatly against the wall, lies what remains of what looks like a door. It is blackened and splintered, only about a quarter of it remains. All that shows is the fading image of a single Candle. |

Quill goes to the door and examines it and what lies beyond. |

there is nothing behind it, it just leans against the wall, and Leatherbound prevents you from touching the door, stopping your hoof as you reach for it. |

"If you permit me I may have a spell that will allow you to explain things to me much simpler. Instead of words or gestures I can hear your mind." Quill suggests. Not wanting to upset the dragon any more than he may already have. |

He shakes his head, denying the offer. Whatever the reason, he was fine communicating the way he is. |

"I'm afraid I'm not going to be easy to explain things too. These last few months have frazzled my brain to no ends. So I'm not exactly gong to be the fastest on the pick up." He looks at the royal seals on them to see why they seem different to him. Perhaps that will help him understand more about what Leatherbound was trying to tell him. |
