Raithe turned to the approaching Shadow as he spoke in her mind. "I just don't like it. It's too fake and enclosed." She put her hands in her side pockets and shifted her weight to one side. Ashen turned his head to look at Shadow as well. Then he put his nose between Raithe's shoulder blades and nudged her with the horn on her nose. She fell a step forwards and then looked at Ashen.
"We should go into the library now." He said, then turned to the rest of the group. "That is why we're here, isn't it?" Without waiting for an answer, he folded his leathery wings to his side, and followed Raithe into the library. Neither of them really cared what the people had to say about a dragon being in there.

Shadow followed Raith and Ashen into the library. He laughed quietly too himself as he watched people try to make themselves small at the sight of Ashen and shook his head. Why are people so afraid of dragons. They're not too dangerous if you know how to talk to them. He thought to himself.
There's Soveliss Shadow pointed to the farther end of the library.

A bright light beamed down from the sky, then with a burst of white light the ninja and the sage arrived at their destination, The Library. This trip may have lasted perhaps seconds, but for some reason he felt changed, as if he had lived another 100. He had done some meditating on his way and he felt as if the world could either be crushed under his fist, or saved with a radiance in that same palm. His eyes were that of a dragon who lusts for prey, except his prey was much bigger than of any creature. He saw the group who had been at the tower, and stepped up his pace to meet up with them.
Will was still in awe. No matter how many times he marvelled at the people, architecture, and the beauty of this place. It seems its hopes were just as high as the very buildings that made it up. He stared with nostalgia at the library, his old haunting grounds, while being taught the ways of wizardry by some of his more disciplined teachers.

The headmistress and Soveliss spoke in hushed tones, careful not to let even an elf with the most acute hearing to pick up on their conversation. They finished their conversation in short time, and the headmistress pointed to the barricaded door from underneath her cloak. Presenting Soveliss with a key, she swiftly drifted off to help other scholars. Soveliss spun around to face the odd group of adventurers approaching him. Pointing subtly to the door, he whispered "We go there."

Hmm, while I'm here I might as well look for my book. I'll need it to help me unlock the powers of this stone. He grabbed the stone from his pouch and held it, smiling. I'm going to go look for a book, I'll find you guys once I find it.
With that Shadow closed his eyes for a few moments then went off to the oppisite end of the library where he started searching for the book.

Tael followed behind the others quietly, always glancing over his shoulder. When they reached Soveliss he informed the others "I have some business that requires my attention. I will return within the hour."
I seem to say that alot to whatever companions I have...
With that he walked away and was lost in the endless rows of shelves.

Raithe glanced at the door, then turned her gaze to Soveliss. "Why is it blocked off?" She asked, tilting her head slightly to the side. She was completely unaware of the people in the library who gave Ashen nervous sideways glances, but Ashen, being particularly vain, noticed them at least subconsciously, and arched his neck and stuck out his chest in a proud posture.

"Follow me, I'll tell you on the way." He started for the door, and although he still kept his head down to keep anyone from recognizing him, he acted as if he had done this every other day of his preternaturally long life.
((I'm assuming you're going to follow me...)) "Long before humans ruled over this continent - before even the draconic races taught the giants magic, and even before the dragons Eberron, Siberys, and Khyber lived...there were the five Primevals. These were dragons unapposed in power, save for the most powerful of the deities...they were of the chromatic colors (Red, Green, White, Blue, Black). And one of them...is believed to have been buried under this very library."

Ashen listened intently as he made his way. This library definitly wasn't made for dragons, even young ones like him. He kept his head low forward so he could better hear Soveliss' words. Raithe walked along side his head, just behind Soveliss. Unlike her partner, Raithe wasn't really paying much attention. She had her hands behind her head as she walked, looking around the library as she only partially listened to Soveliss. She only really focused at the last sentence, which was enough for her.
"What do we need with the dead body of an ancient dragon?" She asked bluntly, not bothering to keep her voice down. Ashen gave her a stern look to tell her to keep it down and pay attention, but she simply replied by sticking out her tongue at him. He shook his head, realising it was hopeless, and looked at Soveliss again.

"'Red, Green, White, Blue and Black. These are the Dragons Primeval. Seek them, for in their eyes you will find the path to power.' That's what the letter left on the Lord of Blades' body said. My guess is that, in finding the Primeval's tomb, we may find this power we all seem to be looking for.."
As he finished talking, he reached the door. Pressing his hand flat against it, he whispered the word 'open', and the locks on the door quietly slid open, and the door dwung inwards, realeasing a chill breeze. In the darkness, Soveliss could see a small halway.
He walked in, and found himself faced with another choice: a door on the right, and a door on the left. The right one the elven headmistress had said..He reached forward for the handle, and twisted it open.

((I'm going to assume the doors are big enough for Ashen. If they're not, just tell me, and I'll do some editing. ))
"I'm not interested in the power," Raithe replied, slipping through the doors, "Just the adventure that leads us there." Ashen breathed his approval, though wouldn't mind the power that went along with it as well.
Ashen jad to tuck his wings close to his body and put his head down to fit through the doors. He didn't much care for tight spots, but if it meant he had the chance to see one of the Primevals, he could bear it.
Rathe turned to look behind her at the dragon, her hands still behind her head. "Maybe you should just wait outside. You're taking up alot of room, and might not fit later on..." Ashen snorted in disagreement, flames once more making his nose glow.
"Not likely." He responded hoarsly. "I'm not going to let you experience this great honour without me."

Shadow grabbed the book he needed and dropped it in his pouch. He noticed the headmistress look sternly at him and before she could say anything he tosses her a few rubies from his pouch. For the book.
He then hurried back to the door and walked in moving swiftly until he reached the others.

Eclipse was silent, and gave an air of furious. He was mad that this vile fiend would tarnish the tomb of a resting dragon. "I do not think we should enter, I feel no need to enter the tomb of a great dragon. It is... bad luck.
Will smiled at Eclipse. "Oh hush you, there's no need to not find out perhaps the answer to our questions."
Eclipse shot Will a killing look. His eyes were fierce with rage, but his voice was calm and collect. "I'd feel more comfortable if I lead us through, for our safety if nothing else."
