Chapter Two - And the Owl Came Back~ [Video/Action]

[The video feed will come on with a figure that most everyone in Luceti is probably familiar with by now. The large owl towering over the journal and an overcast sky above him as it rains lightly.]

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

[Sound familiar?]

In my world I am the spirit of knowledge and I have my own library for the betterment of mankind. As such, I believe my services here would be most valuable to you.

However, it would seem that for some reason I am unable to enter your library. I would appreciate an explanation or perhaps some assistance in this matter.

[The feed will then cut off. And in the mean time, the owl will be sitting outside the library. In the rain. He's getting wet out here.]

[OOC: Feel free to either respond or run into Wan Shi Tong getting wet outside the library!]

Her mother and father were both dragons. She is as the natural world intended. Where those who were born from the mixing of bloods are not. [She could go on to explain how that means her body may one day betray her as it does for most mixed spices of her world. At times slowly and quickly breaking down. It all depends on luck and how well the bloodlines mixed for how long one such as herself can live.

But that would be explaining a weakness to someone she does not trust. That is never a wise move for someone who grew up in the wild.]

Hm, I see. If that is what nature has intended in your world, why is it that mixing of blood occurs?

[Yes, he is a bit nosy.]

It has happened on occasion in the past. At times for unexplained reasons two creatures decide to lay together. Lately many creatures are finding less mates to lay with and choose by force to lay with another creature. As the blood mix together more and more it is getting harder to know the differences between each other.

I see, so it is due to the lack of breeding partners. I suppose that would be problematic for the continuation of one's blood line. Still, despite this, it is a matter of contention in your world?

[Ugh. Big words. She was still very new at this human tongue thing. Why there must be so many confusing words?] I do not understand your question, spirit.

[... okay. He will attempt to use smaller words.]

Since it is unnatural to mix blood, I would assume it is looked down upon. Is this still so despite the few options available?

[Ah, now she understands better.] No. [She reconsiders that.] Not in the clans that I have had spent time with. [Or so she thinks. She does not see how she is expected to treat those with pure blood with more respect and to do all she can to protect them as being looked down on. Of course she should do these things. If the pure bloods are not protected and lost then how are they suppose to build back up their clans?

She had been given everything she needs to survive. She was taught how to fight. She was allowed to go out and explore the world and would be welcome back into the clan when she was ready to come back. Xzana had been a lucky one. One who should not have been born; who's body did not kill her. Of course she should show respect to her betters.]

I see. That is fortunate. Humans tend to fear and despise those that are different and against what they consider normal.

[You would know all about that wouldn't you Wan Shi Tong. Or you would if you remembered it.]

Do they? I have not had much experience with humans. [The humans she's had interaction with in Luceti and her home world have been accepting, but that was not the first time she heard that about them.] I have not seen this fear in humans myself, but I have heard many speak of this trait.

Indeed. They are selfish creatures that need guidance. It is for this reason that I have opened my library to them in my world.

Oh.

[...]

What is a library?

It is a collection of knowledge. Usually in the form of literature such as books.

I understand. I have no interest in books. I am unable to read. [She doesn't seemed to fussed about it. She pulls her Luceti journal out of her back pocket. Wan Shi Tong may not be too pleased to see that not only has it been rolled up and bent to better fit in her pocket, but it is also very dirty and very soggy. The pages smashed together and crumpled up with her name fading away from misuse.] Unless they can speak as this book does.

That is most unfortunate. If you ever wish to learn, I could tutor you.

[It's an offer, nothing more. He certainly has no intention of condemning her for not learning to read.

Though the condition of her journal is a bit... distressing. He says nothing about it.]

[She folds the book up and crams it none too gently back into her pocket.] A human once tried his hand at teaching this one the letters of humans. I admit that I was not a very good learner. [As she easily grew bored. Learning to speak human had seemed enough as most of the limited amount of humans she choose to interact with back home were unable to read and write as well.] I have never attempted to learn the language of a spirit before.

I am the Spirit of Knowledge, so I am well versed in all languages native to my world. Though it hardly seems to make a difference here.

If you do decide you wish to learn, I will teach you.

[If not, it is no loss of his.]

I thank you for your generous offer, but I believe I will decline. [Learning to read is boring. She'd rather talk about something interesting. Like rain.] I have not found many other creatures in this land that enjoys the rain as they should.

[She highly approves of you standing outside!]
