As his Master strode purposefully between the rows and shelves of books, Rider followed at a more leisurely pace as he swept his gaze along the multitude of books before him. [color=ed1c24][i]“There is much that I am curious about. I wish to study everything that has become of this world since my passing, its history and its wars, the rising and falling of empires and so on; it has been two thousand years since my death and these is much I would like to know.[/i][/color]

[color=ed1c24][i]“I know that Carthage fell, and that Rome tried to erase it from memory; my home relegated to a footnote in the history of my enemy. I would like to know what else has happened since then, but that is not our priority at the moment. We will have time for indulgences once this war is over.”[/i][/color]

Rider stopped as he caught up to Kazamyr and found his attention brought to the book in his hands, ‘The Art of War’, which his Master no doubt found amusing. [color=ed1c24][i]“I’d be intrigued to read the thoughts of another scholar on the subject, especially one who experience war in a different culture than my own. Other than that, maps of the town and the surrounding area, then the histories of Salem, Scandinavia and Japan, as you suggested.”[/i][/color]
