Your welcome to the books in the place Ar unless you wish to hear as well, just mind the wraiths patroling the aisle's, they should'nt cause a problem though.

*blinks and sits in chair* I'm gonna read it?

Subject: Re: Palace of Flames: The Black Library Fri Dec 12, 2008 5:49 pm

With help yes, that one of the reasons you came here isint it? To learn to read. I cant teach if your not trying. Besides, these books have a way of......"capturing" your attention

Diana looked at the book, and then back at Kyuubi "Is there anyway, for me to become like you, to become atleast one fifth your power?" She asked, curious, avoiding her normal cat sounds, her tail twitching curiously.
She knew how to read, but at the same time, she didn't do it often.

*Looks up from the book and towards diana*

In all honesty, thats up to you and how far your willing to go to get stronger, gaining power usually comes with a price. I am where I am because of the sacrifices I made of my own heart and soul before I became queen of hell, and Becoming queen of this place was a sacrifice in itself. How much of your very being are you willing to lose in order to gain power? This is the question you should be asking yourself.

Im willing to help, but as I said......*Her smile grows somewhat sinister along with a dark glimmer appearing in her eyes*....it will come at a price....

But enough for now, lets help this young one to become literate *glances back at wind*

*Turns back to the book as the words on the page begin to glow, the light of the page engulfing all three of them*

'I don't have anything to sacrifice, do I?' She asked herself in her thoughts, as she helped the prince "Open your eyes, Nya, you need to learn to read." She added, her tails twitching.

*As the light subsides, we're all sitting in what seems like mid air and no longer within the library*

I was very serious when I told you this book "captures" attentions...

*As she said this, she pointed out what looked like construction and several creatures flying around it. Upon a closer look, one could see that they were true dragons building on an area where the City of Wyvern was "supposed" to be. As she spoke, the words appeared into both of their minds, telling the story of the past as they watched.*

This is close to how it all began, its been sometime since I last saw all this.

This is amazing! *looks around*

"Sugoi Nya!" Diana exclaimed. This was amazing. She watched the True Dragons building, and wondered what her mother had been doing at the time. And also what Kyuubi had been doing.
Suddenly her face showed her curiousity but she ignored it in the decision that the Kyuubi's voice was more beautiful than any curiousness she had.

(Taken from the introduction forum)
"The God created True Dragons, a race that was gifted to command all the elements and two parts of Soul (placing a soul into a body and pulling one out), the Kitsune, a race of fox-like beings with far more energy than any of the True Dragons, yet they could only master one or two elements a piece (usually fire or water)

The Dragons and Kitsune are the first incarnation if you will of Angels and fallen Angels. The True Dragons were placed to be the enforcers of God's will (that all races be at peace), but after awhile of being the only race at getting comfortable, God created the Kitsune as a balance

The Nine-Tails is not technically a Kitsune, but the ruler of Hell Domain and has infinite energy (like the legend not like Naruto's weakling fox....) It'd take ten Royal Dragons to match the Nine-Tails in power

the Fairies are creatures of pure energy.

and there are now Humans and Angels

Humans are two branches, the Mages or the non-Mages (ie: Warriors, smiths and farmers)

Angels are strong in comparison to the humans, but only the Archangels can match the power of Royal True Dragon"

*As the story is told in your minds, words are brought meaning and imprinted into your thoughts(this is how im teaching windfang to read) as you see the events unfold in chapters before your eyes. The book takes us from the creation of the kitsunes soon after the true dragons, to the first wars fought between the two civilizations, to the adventures of hero's as they made their mark, to my own personal interventions/attacks and results of my influences in this world, and also to the growth of the other races as they began to rise to power.*

*winks at the mistress of Hell* I hear you have a dragon form now? Mind showing it off?

"Your majesty? How did you get here?" Diana asked, looking at Ich, while listening to the tale some more. She couldn't understand why the king of dragons, who was supposed to be dead, was here, and trying to flirt with the Kyuubi. She then sighed and looked at the Prince "That isn't all, there was more to it than that, but only that is written here, so far, there is more on the next page, Nya?" She asked.

*nods quickly* This stowy is interesting.

Subject: Re: Palace of Flames: The Black Library Sat Dec 13, 2008 7:11 pm

*Raises an eyebrow at Mr.Dragon king and looks over at her two listeners*

His soul must have wandered into the library and followed us into the book. How he came into hell, I honestly have no idea.......and as to why he's trying to flirt, apparently he needs the company of those wives of his....

*Shaking her head, she closes the book in her hands, causing the whole vision to vanish as they returned to the library*

Your right, there is much more but we do have to stop at one point. You see these books never stop recording the past and present as time goes on, while some of us maybe have eternity ahead of us, I tend to get a little impatient *smiles*.

Thats enough for today *she said as she stood, the chair behind her disappearing in flame*

"Yes My Queen" Diana replied, as she bowed, and stood up, stretching.

*Walks casually into the library* *climbs up on a ladder and pushes myself around looking for a book* *pulls one out as i go then turns opening it* bleh... black magic *jumps down after putting the book back and pulls out another* hmmm... poetry? intriguing *sits down*

Subject: Re: Palace of Flames: The Black Library Sun Dec 14, 2008 1:58 pm

*reads aloud*

The lamps now glitter down the street;
Faintly sound the falling feet;
And the blue even slowly falls
About the garden trees and walls.

Now in the falling of the gloom
The red fire paints the empty room:
And warmly on the roof it looks,
And flickers on the back of books.

Armies march by tower and spire
Of cities blazing, in the fire;
Till as I gaze with staring eyes,
The armies fall, the lustre dies.

Then once again the glow returns;
Again the phantom city burns;
And down the red-hot valley, lo!
The phantom armies marching go!

Blinking embers, tell me true
Where are those armies marching to,
And what the burning city is
That crumbles in your furnaces!

Not bad...

Beautiful poem dont you think?

Subject: Re: Palace of Flames: The Black Library Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:32 pm

oh yes... very beautiful
*looks around* quite sad of course...
*walks towards you* hello *holds up the book* care for me to read another?

Subject: Re: Palace of Flames: The Black Library Sun Dec 14, 2008 3:02 pm

*flips through the book* ahh... heres one
*clears throat*

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came, and went and came, and brought no day,
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this desolation; and all hearts
Were chill'd into a selfish prayer for light:
And they did live by watchfires - and the thrones,
The palaces of crowned kings, the huts,
The habitations of all things which dwell,
Were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed,
And men were gathered round their blazing homes
To look once more into each other's face;
Happy were those who dwelt within the eye
Of the volcanos, and their mountain-torch:
A fearful hope was all the world contain'd;
Forest were set on fire but hour by hour
They fell and faded and the crackling trunks
Extinguish'd with a crash and all was black.
The brows of men by the despairing light
Wore an unearthly aspect, as by fits
The flashes fell upon them; some lay down
And hid their eyes and wept; and some did rest
Their chins upon their clenched hands, and smiled;
And others hurried to and fro, and fed
Their funeral piles with fuel, and looked up
With mad disquietude on the dull sky,
The pall of a past world; and then again
With curses cast them down upon the dust,
And gnash'd their teeth and howl'd: the wild birds shriek'd,
And, terrified, did flutter on the ground,
And flap their useless wings; the wildest brutes
Came tame and tremolous; and vipers crawl'd
And twined themselves among the multitude,
Hissing, but stingless, they were slain for food:
And War, which for a moment was no more,
Did glut himself again; a meal was bought
With blood, and each sate sullenly apart
Gorging himself in gloom: no love was left;
All earth was but one thought and that was death,
Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
Of famine fed upon all entrails men
Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;
The meagre by the meagre were devoured,
Even dogs assail'd their masters, all save one,
And he was faithful to a corpse, and kept
The birds and beasts and famish'd men at bay,
Till hunger clung them, or the dropping dead
Lured their lank jaws; himself sought out no food,
But with a piteous and perpetual moan
And a quick desolate cry, licking the hand
Which answered not with a caress, he died.
The crowd was famish'd by degrees; but two
Of an enormous city did survive, And they were enemies;
They met beside
The dying embers of an altar-place
Where had been heap'd a mass of holy things
For an unholy usage; they raked up,
And shivering scraped with their cold skeleton hands
The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath

Blew for a little life, and made a flame
Wich was a mockery; then they lifted up
Their eyes as it grew lighter, and
Each other's aspects. saw, and shriek'd, and died, beheld
Even of their mutual hideousness they died,
Unknowing who he was upon whose brow
Famine had written Fiend. The world was void,
The populous and the powerful was a lump,
Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless,
A lump of death, a chaos of hard clay.
The rivers, lakes, and ocean stood still,
And nothing stirred within their silent depths;
Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea,
And their masts fell down piecemeal; as they dropp'd
They slept on the abyss without a surge
The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave,
The moon their mistress had expired before;
The winds were withered in the stagnant air,
And the clouds perish'd; Darkness had no need
Of aid from them. She was the universe.

Diana acted like she was ignoring the newcomer, though was listening with her large ears. She didn't know what she thought, but atleast the guy was being pleasant and hadn't noticed her. She watched the Prince, muttering and climbing, and watched the queen, who seemed to be interested.
