Lawrna 440 Share Posted October 4, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_sY2rjxq6M Towers of smoke rise above the Silver district, a loud crash echoes throughout the city. The gates to the library itself are closed. All is ruined. The fire appears to have spread throughout the entire building nigh instantaneously. Nothing remains, except for a single book in the middle of the library. The telescope had fallen from its tower and into the library itself. Quickly thereafter a white-haired elf and a ghost flee from the burning library. ((gwhoosh)) 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSyth 637 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Said Elf has not been seen anywhere near the city ever since. However, sometimes, a piano can be heard in the distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D A N N Y 966 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Seron Sythaerin of Annil'sul would grin from afar, returning to his newly found command post. His lips would awiden as he'd being to sing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZA2PH7fl6M 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demotheus 651 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Scylla hears of the news, and frowns. "So much knowledge, wasted...wasn't there some kind of ghost or graven that's task was to basically watch over the library and stuff? Why would anyone let anyone come anywhere near it with fire? Peh...useless high elves..." "Lotha doesn't know, and Lotha doesn't care. Lotha is trying to sleep. Go back to bed, Scylla." She rolls her eyes, sighing. "Fine..."

Samoblivion 532 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Kaelin sighs as he hears of this. "Such wonders destroyed for what? To spite those who were oppressed by the Mali'aheral? Truly the savage and barbaric heart of their culture has been bared by these last days. Those who follow the warped teachings of the Naysayer care not a bit for their brethren or the true teachings of Malin; to destroy the greatest font of learning in the world if those outside their select few can access it. True, we can relearn and some of what was destroyed, but I fear that we shall never truly know the extent of what was lost... A black day." He remains distraught for some time afterwards but consoles himself in knowing that the dark grip of Haelun'or is finally passing from the throat of the elven people. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samler 1566 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Seth glances over to the fire with a quiet sigh. "Destroying it before the killers can do so? Reminds me of the cake war, or rather would be if eluruk ever showed up, at least the sight of the city full of cake was somewhat amusing, but I guess, then you remove the joy from one part, maybe they will just stop." Seth then continues with his daily rutines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdwhisperer 1174 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Elorna awakens to the smell of smoke as ash from hundreds of books rains down on Lin'ame. Scorch marks and black smoke stains are still prevalent on her home's furniture from an attack of fire a Mali'aheral had made on her tree home days earlier, though the tree itself appears pristine. She climbs higher up to get a better vantage point, scowling in confusion. After pleading for mercy for the Mali'aheral the night before she begins to feel conflicted, trying to tell herself the Mali'aheral couldn't have done this to themselves. With a sigh she shakes her head, descending again to prepare for a long day ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ℤ∃ʁ∅ 823 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Ramza smells the smoke from his tree house in Lin'ame, he sighs and gets up looking to smoke and frowns. "This is such a drag..I wish..I was able to read those books..." he says softly as he would go to sneak a peak to the area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moot 1719 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Kalameet snorts. "If anyone actually believed the books would be left to the flames truly doesn't understand the Mali'aheral culture, or our words. I know most tend to focus on the most negative aspects of a situation, but I didn't know most were so desperate to condemn their brothers and sisters so avidly. Such a pity that unity will forever be away from our grasps... In the end, all that was won was the title of 'hypocrites'. Whilst the culture and true mentality of the Mali'aheral has not be diminished." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lita 677 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Resmira smiles at the ashes upon the wind, catching one before letting it fly again. "And so Silver is Ash. The Eternal Library is a Phoenix all the same: from the ashes will rise a new one, a thousand fold more brilliant than the last. Revel in the storm, mali'thillne and other races alike: perhaps your hypocrisy will bring you joy for a time." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconthief 682 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Takes the single book remaining in the library and throws it in a pile with the rest of the rubble. The area is considerably more clean; however, the presence of a fire is still quite evident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baconthief 682 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Merylynn scowls, and goes to elbow the dark elf in the head, before putting the book back. "Rude. That's not yours." "Damn you woman. I had been ordered to clean all the remains here, it's property of the state and I am acting as an arm of the state. It's mine to consider trash" Mizziyrn would immediately go back to sweeping up glass and carrying fallen beams to a large trash pile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
