Chapter One - The Library Dictator [Video]

[knowitowl]

[Now that things seem to have gone back to relative normalcy here in the land of Luceti, Wan Shi Tong decides that it is time to introduce himself to the community. Thus there will be a video feed of a very tall owl as he stands over his journal.]

Greetings citizens of Luceti, I am Wan Shi Tong, he who knows ten thousand things.

Due to my abduction from my own world and library, I have commandeered the one within this village. I will be the sole authority of the collection from this point on, and as such, there are a few new rules.

First of all, anyone who wishes to use the library must first offer new knowledge to add to the collection.

Secondly, none of the material within can be used for malicious intent. There is no exception to this. I do not care how noble your cause may be, whether it is against each other or our captors here.

Finally, I will no longer allow any materials to be removed from the building.

If these rules are not followed, there will be consequences.

Also, in regards to the last rule, all outstanding books and media must be returned for inventory. If you do not comply, I will send my assistants to retrieve them.

That is all.

[And with that the feed will end.]

[It's interesting- and almost a little familiar- to hear someone talk about protecting a specific location the way this huge owl is. Wan Shi Tong. He sounds just like...

Silver makes sure to head over to the library- he has a book to return, after all. He took out one on animals some time ago and if this creature wants all books returned to the building, he's not about to deny that.]

[knowitowl]

[When Silver arrives he will be almost instantly met by the huge spirit. He approaches and dips his head to look at the boy.]

How may I assist you?

[feistytrader]

[He bows his head briefly before showing the book he's held onto to the big owl spirit.]

I borrowed this from this library some time ago. Should I put it back where I found it, or would you like to take it?

[knowitowl]

I will take care of it. Thank you for returning it.

[With a sweep of his wing the book disappears from Silver's hands. If only all humans were as honest as this one.]

[feistytrader]

[Silver nods. Yeah, of course. No problem.] These books are important to you, right? That's why you're going through the lengths you are to protect them.

[It's an obvious enough question, but maybe he'll learn something more from it.]
