(Continue from Not so welcomed return)
:They approach the closest shop and stand at the entrance as people pass:
"This is crazy.."
:She glares at Eva:
"...listen....no one is going to believe what I'm looking for."
:She pauses and glances around like someone is listening:
"I need proof, there is a book I once read that documents the history of the summoners. There was mention of an ancient group that actually helped organize the race and keep them united. They were known as the Sect of the Phoenix."
:A person passes by them to enter the shop and Airlia pauses:
"This sect worshipped the Phoenix. They believed someday there would be someone sent to them to save them. There would be a rebirth to bring the summoners to great power. This sect was later run out and replaced by the current priests of the Summoner's Palace. The council, if you will, was not so extreme as the sect. I accidentally overheard a couple priests discussing a book that had all this information in it. What was even more surprising is the hints that the sect was never abolished."
:Airlia pauses as if to let Eva speak, but continues:
"I may come across as brash, someone that jumps to conclusions to quickly and assumes too much. I think the sect is behind the council. I think they found out that I knew too much and ordered the coucil to get rid of me. Maybe they want to keep secret or something, but that attack in Lindblum was from an ancient being that was used by the sect. I don't know whats going on, but the people must know."
:Sighes:
"So now you know...are you with me?"

::Eva thought for a moment taking everything in on what was said::
I admit it does sound a tad bit far fetched but she knows a bit more than me on these sort of things.
::She frowned some more and then nodded her head::
"Yea I'm with you. I'll help you out with everything thats going on."
::She raised an eyebrow for a moment::
"So who exactly were the two that was being guarded like celebrities?"

"Oh..."
:She sighes:
"...them...they're uhh....well, they're Infinity's children. Xavier is the younger one of the two and Madison is his older sister."
:Shrugs:
"They'll be of no use to us. They've been told plenty that they'll kill us when they see us. I highly doubt they'd hear us out. , especially Madison."
:Airlia leans against the building:
"We need to find this book. The problem is, I really need to find another book, that should be easier to find, so we can actually find the other book. After that I'm at a loss, I need to know for myself, but I'm hoping after that we can get it to his kids and the temple priests if they're not completely corrupted by that point."

::Eva frowned a bit and looked at the building they were by::
"Ok...so there's a book we have to find in order to find another one. Why do I have the feeling that other book is guarded as well though probrably not as heavily."
::She thought about what she said about Infinity's children and sighed::
"So much for possible back up then. Though I guess the lesser people the better."

Nods:
"Precisely"
:Glancing around, she stand back up and prepares to move back through the crowds:
"Remember the old man we talked to? They don't know about this book according to him. We should be safe for now until we look for the second one."

::Eva nodded and looked out at the crowd as well::
"What do you suggest? I'm sure you have a good idea where the book is but should we split up or stick together in meeting at that destination?"
::She flickered a black strand of hair out of the way, still in the same form she left the hotel in::
"Either way they both have its advantages and disadvantages..."

"We need to stick together. You'll appreciate that when Lindblum happens all over again."
:Airlia points quickly in one direction:
"The library for now, we'll decide how to get there on the way. Walk"
:Airlia takes off and starts weaving her way through the crowds with Eva in her wake."

::Eva followed a bit being careful not to bump into anyone as she kept up with Airlia::
It amazes me at how clueless some people are at times. Its unbelievable!
::She looked forward and saw a building which she assumed was the library but she had almost gasped when she saw it::
"Huge..."

:The two pass the library and slip down the side of the massive building:
"Alright...now it gets interesting. I don't know how well guarded this entrance is.."
:Airlia pulls off her cloak and throws it in a dumpster:
"We don't need those anymore. They're going to know where here after this, it'll be a matter of how long we stay alive."
(OOC- Sorry, mornings are working better for me right now!)

(OOC- Hey you don't have to worry about me I'll be sure to post when you do ) ::Eva's hair color and eyes turned back to normal as she tossed her cloak in the dumpster as well:: "I prefer to live and die of old age if possible." ::She smirked a bit as she cracked her knuckles:: "So..you wanna go in with a bang? Or fight from the inside out? Because something's telling me your not wanting to sneak around any longer than you have to."

:She flashes a dark grin across her face:
"I prefer to live and die with a bang."
:She pushes a dumpster out of the way to reveal an old rickety door going into the basement:
"...but for now we'll hold onto the bang."
:Airlia heads down the dirty steps and pauses at the door:
"Well.....we're definately committing to this now."
:She pushes on the door slightly and it barely moves:
"Ok...maybe not so subtle.."
:Airlia steps back and raises a leg. She kicks out and the old wooden door comes crashing in. Airlia slides through past the musty cloud of dust:
(OOC- Going to CR for the wkd, so Ill try to post once or twice up there)

::Eva coughed a bit from the dust before fanning it away as she stepped in behind Airlia::
"Seems like no one used that entrance for years..."
::She looked around and noticed it was a tad bit dark::
"Hmm...any chance for a light switch or candles?"

:Airlia holds out a hand in front of her. It had been so long since she had used her magic or summoning. Her hand becomes engulfed in fire to light the room. It stunk of dusty books and the dim light from her hand revealed that of a room which hadn't been used for a very long time:
"Alight...we don't have much time"

::Eva nodded and went over to one of the book shelves, wiping away some of the dust from the books to see the names on them::
"What exactly is the name of this book we're looking for?"
::She seen some charms on the table and a few other things close by the book as she continued looking around::

:The old man was right. The lower floor through that entrance would be unguarded, but he didn't mention it was because the floor was ancient. Airlia takes a deep breath to calm down, she was prepared for him to be wrong, but relaxes now that he isn't:
"Alright...I hope you love books."
:Airlia walks down the aisle they entered from and reaches the main aisle:
"Fountain, fountain...."
:The old man had told her there would be an elaborate library the book is stored at. The book sits in the middle of the main aisle on display with a huge fountain:
"I don't think theres been a fountain here for years"
:Airlia looks back to Eva, who is patiently waiting:
"I'm so-"
:She holds her arm up higher to light the room further down the aisle. Something large is in the middle of the aisle. They both slowly make there way towards ii, in the meanwhile the light reveals more of an ancient stone fountain:
"This is it!"
:Airlia trots up to the old empty structure and scoffs. No water and worst of all no book:

:Behind the found eyes glow in the darkness:
[glow=red,2,300]End of the road for you two.[/glow]
:Penance reveals herself and stands on top of the fountain:
[glow=red,2,300]There are dire consequences for traitory.[/glow]

"Oh you have got to be kidding me..."
::Eva glared a bit at Penance while slowly moving her hand towards her sword's blades::
"You definitely will not be catching us off guard like you did last time..."
::She did a sideways glance at Airlia::
Do you think that guy is ok?

:Airlia quickly reaches for her blade and aims it at Penance:

Yea I seriously doubted she wanted a party.
::Eva narrowed her eyes as her blade glowed a bit from the lighting of the candles never taking her eyes off of Penance::
Which do you prefer...high or low?
"And there are dire consequences for being a loyal dog as well like you are..."
(OOC- Man you have got to stop disappearing on me lol)
