It had been one of those rare instances that he had stumbled across an old friend of his. The friend in question was a vampire of course, and he had found out that Nathan was in Paris, suggesting a quaint library-like bookstore that had some of the materials he enjoyed most. Nathan, being the intellectual sort, and very much interested in said material, decided to give the shop a try and see what types of things they had for sale. This had taken him to Quills, which was where he stood in front of now. A quick glance around, his pupils subtly shifting from grey to red as the world around him suddenly took on multiple layers, being the best way to describe it. It gave the vampire a deeper insight into the area if he chose to examine it, but he wasn’t here for that, he was just looking for anything out of the ordinary. And also, books of real power had a subtle difference in the aura that surrounded it. Nathan’s own personal library, when looking at it like this, looked like it was on fire with azure flames because the auras were so strong. He didn’t expect to see that here, but he suspected at least a handful of books would flag his radar. Entering through the front door, Nathan greeted the vampire at the front with a brief smile and a nod. Moving further into the room, more to be out of the doorway incase others came in than anything else, the vampire started a slow sweep of the room, searching for any spots that were different, seeking out that azure flame. And indeed, almost instantly he found two volumes that he went over to gather up. Closer inspection showed one contained complex formulae for conjuring up the denizens of the abyssal underworld. Nathan wasn’t too keen on summoning demons, but he would rather have the text than someone else. The older teen-looking vampire was greedy in a sense, but only when it came to knowledge. Knowledge was, to him, the road to ultimate power. The second book, coincidentally, was a book on necromancy. It wasn’t a how-to manual or anything though, didn’t contain the key to unlocking infinite power through the use of a person’s necrotic gift. Instead it was a rather mundane-ish book in a way. But to a necromancer, or even to a lesser degree and animator, the book could be an invaluable source of knowledge. Glancing at the other books in the section; he could see why it was here instead of with other books on ritualized magic and practice. This book had been someone’s journal, or diary, from the late eighteenth century. Considering it might be an interesting read to get into the head of a necromancer and see what they write and thought about, Nate kept the book in his slowly growing pile. He stopped his searching instantly though, almost dropping the stack of eight or nine books he had gathered thus far. The blackish aura surrounding a girl at one of the tables couldn’t be, could she? ’Why would there be a necromancer in Paris? I realize I’m being gutsy being here and unoathed, but necromancers are kill on site. Doesn’t she know that? I can at least get out of jail free once, she doesn’t get a ‘get out of kill me’ at all. But this is too good an opportunity; I can hardly pass this up. And if she proves to be too much, or too uncontrolled, then I’ll do the Council a favor unknown to them.’ Moving over to the table now, Nathan set his stack of books on the opposite side of them, not even paying attention to Mary, his crimson gaze was focused entirely on Carina as he sat down uninvited. It was nice to be able to do things uninvited, refreshing almost. A quick glance at their reading material, and Nathan smirked slightly, not showing any fang as he looked back up to the girls, focusing on them both now. “Practitioners, or just reading up for the fun of the subject?” |
