[color=00aeef]"And here I was, hoping to never see them again after this inspection."[/color] Leon frowned at the idea of spending more time with these church folks outside their own terms. His reception towards this joint exercise was rather vapid. He wasn't feeling the competitive spirit like the rest of the reavers;  Like the fae lovers who rush in to do their 'training'. or the firecracker Eve who likes to be the center of attention wherever she goes. Or the bard, Einer who seems eager to become a better fighter and seems to have a past to where they are headed.

Nevertheless, The rogue fae was compliant enough since it was a direct order from the head reaver himself. This makes Leon wonder what kind of relation the reavers really have with the holy church? are they rivals? Is this some kind of wager on who is the better faction? and why did Arteus decide to agree to this?

The answer lies once they arrive at the state of Cambridge.

Leon takes a deep sigh before being summoned by the high priest to accompany her towards the tower's library. 

You know there is trouble when Kiff is involved. It's time to face the music I supposed. The grimoire did warn that this day would come.

The fae rogue simply followed the High seer's request and walked as a group. 

Leon kept his cool despite the uneasiness brewing in his mind. He keeps on walking alongside Kiff and the high priest, stealing glances at them.
Holding his tongue during the walk.

Leon kept silent as they arrived at the great library, Stacks of tome and bookshelves as far as the eye could see. 

[color=00aeef]"So, you like books, High priestess?"[/color] Leon breaks his silence, asking the scarlet seer, feigning ignorance in his tone.

[color=00aeef]"Me personally, I've become enthralled with them ever since I've become a reaver. Mr. Luther has a wide range of grimoires, from the obscure to the rarest of its kind."[/color] He continued.

[color=00aeef]"Funny enough, out of all these millions of books and anecdotes from this library, the one book that caught my eye is the one that belongs to you." [/color]The fae rogue brazenly said with a smirk, standing in front of Tethys, lifting his cloak, revealing the cursed grimoire hanging underneath his belt.  

[color=00aeef]"Is this what you're after right? No need to beat around the bush." [/color]Leon directly asked.

[color=00aeef]"You're really gifted, Ms. Tethys. The bar of all espers in the realm, able to produce a powerful sentient object. A book that can foresee the future. The soothsayers in our village would kill for your talents."[/color] Leon said, spinning and playing with the cursed book around fingers. You can see the faint black aura corrupting and shrouding the Fae's arm as he holds the malign tome.

[color=00aeef]"Label me an enemy of the holy church if you want, but I'm afraid I can't hand over you this grimoire just yet. I need its power to protect the ones I care about. Surely you'd understand?"[/color]
