The sun was rising on a new day in Cythera when the rider came. He was a hard man, who had come many leagues in a short time. He rode a horse of a simple plain brown color. He was himself clad in a weather beaten leather hat, brimmed, and wore a leather hauberk. His hands were free of rings, and he wore no necklace or other jewelry. He carried two swords...a trusted friend of old, and a memorial of respect to another. He had been on the trail for six full days when he came into Cademia, covered in dust, and tired from the long ride. The rider headed for the tavern, slowing as he did, and looking around at his surroundings. Many things had changed since he had last been in Cademia. He briefly ducked in to the tavern, looping his horse at the post outside.
Within mere seconds, the man came out again, remounted, and headed straight for the library. He slowed his horse, and jumped down. With a brief command to the tired horse, he began a half trot down the entrance way. As he reached the bottom of the stairs, he slowed to take in the surroundings.
As the man took in his surroundings, he began looking through the library. An exclamation was heard, and the man began talking hurriedly with the other who was at the back of the library. Soon, the man walked away, and was heard calling backwards, "I'll only be here a brief time, I need to do some research and I've some idea that what I am looking for might be here. I'm going to head to the Alraeican Tavern to get something to drink and eat, and I'll head back here tonight. Perhaps we can catch up on old times, briefly."
------------------
And so the problem remained; lots of people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they had all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that the trees had been a bad move and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - Douglass Adams

Rulir comes to, though a little disgusted with the idea of being chained up.
"Carl, you don't understand, I do trust you, but there are a few little details that make you dangerous."
"Like what?" asks Carl, a playing Rulir's game.
"Think about it, if Black Beard's spirit can in fact haunt someone, it is doubtful that he would be able to enter this plane enough to reach me."
"So?"
"So I'm not the one in danger, you are!"
"Why me?"
"Argh, think about it genius! You're his brother! You have almost identicle blood! He could easily reach you and obtain your body as a host!"
"Why should I believe you?"
"Don't believe me if you wish, but think about it this way: You were just as anxious to get to that book after he died as he was when he was alive. He may already be tapping into your consciousness."
"How do I know you aren't inhabited by Black Beard right now, peasant?"
"I'll offer this as proof: you can keep me in chains and have Lindus put the barrier around me if you wish, and I'll not resist."
"Hmmm... Black Beard was alot of things, but he didn't lie about when he was going to try to kill someone. Very well, I believe that you are not Black Beard, but I'm still keeping you in chains as you so graciously requested."
"Argh..."
And Carl hiked toward the Pynx with Rulir tied up in chains upside-down, hanging from his back.

/me slips into first person
I walked back to the library as the shadows began to lengthen. I had perhaps indulged in the bar too much, catching up on information of happenings in Cythera, and sharing a pint with old friends. It appeared that much had changed since I had last been in the inhabited world. I was eager to see Tyrael, but I couldn't spend much time talking. I was on other business, business that couldn't wait.
I reached the library, and walked down. I began to search for Tyrael, wishing to catch up with him briefly.
------------------
The peace that I search for eludes me. I search for it when the sun comes up, and the setting sun finds me the same. I do not know when I will find what I am looking for.

The gates of Pnyx opened wide when the mages and sorcerers saw Carl de Nehl approaching. And soon Lindus was also in sight, welcoming him with open arms.
"AH! Carl de Nehl! You're back from your travels! And you've brought a visitor... Is that...?"
"No. No it's not Black Beard. This man killed Black Beard, releasing him from his body.. I fear that he will haunt Cythera for eternity if we don't do something. I suspect that Black Beard is after Rulir, the man I bear, but Rulir says the wicked Mage is after me. I need to ask you a favor. You must put a barrior around Rulir to protect him."
"What about you? You certainly need protection too."
"I can take care of myself. I'm not week. After all, I'm hunting Black Beard, and not vice versa."
"Very well. Release Rulir from the chains. I will take him to my quarters. I'll see what I can do there."

Avatara: I know! In my profile I actually have 2-3 spaces, I just can't get it to work right!
Zephyr finally comes to in the library.
"Crud!"
"What's the matter with you?" asks theKestrel.
"That stupid paladin got away."
"The guy I saw wandering toward the Pynx?"
"Yeah, well at least he's not bringing him to the side of a cliff."
"What would you be so worried about him for?" asked Kestrel.
"His brother is Black Beard right?"
"So I've heard."
"If they were twins, that means Black Beard has a psychic link with Carl, and may be influencing his actions as we speak!"
"Well, you were right."
"About what?"
"Crud."

9 hours. 9 hours. 9 hours he had to wait. He was just about to leave when Lindus and Rulir finally returned.
"I have put a protection spell on him. It should protect him from any kind of... supernatural beings, for the moment."
"Very well. Please, Lindus, leave me with Rulir. I need to talk to him."
"Rulir. You must listen to me. You were right. I can feel him. I can feel him inside me... It's like I can see him control my actions... I don't know how much power I have left to fend him off... "
"I told you! I just need to..."
-everything turns dark, and the air turns icy cold-
"You foolish peasant! HA! You don't know who you are dealing with! You cannot escape me! MUAHAHAHA!"
A chill runs down Rulir's back.
"Hey! Carl! Snap out of it!! Wake up!"
Rulir is encountered with a devilish grin on Carl de Nehl's face.
Then, the possessed Paladin gets up and grabs for his weapon and jumps on his horse.
Rulir can only watch with big eyes as he rides away, still shocked.
Lindus storms out of the door.
"WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"Carl..d..Nehl.. possessed... by ..Bl..ckbeard..."
"If I wouldn't have put that enchantment on you, he would have most likely killed you! Quickly now, we must stop him!"

BlckBeard huh? Funny pronouciation.
"Just glad I put that magical tracer on him first." Rulir says with a grin.
"I'm afraid I must stay here to work on the magical shield I'm building for the Pynx Rulir, but good luck."
"Thanks, and one more thing: do you have a horse? It would be kinda difficult to catch him on foot."
Lindus points down a hall towards the stables.

He was stuttering...
"Oh no!! Carl de Nehl has come back! Someone hide me!!" Zephyr jumps for cover.
"Do not.. *cough* Do not be afraid. I only did... that to bring Rulir to safety, from.. Black Beard."
"I see.. That's why you left so quickly..."
"Yes. Indeed. You're face.... It's swollen and bloody.. What happened?"
"ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE FUN OF ME? HUH? You.... "
" WHY YOU LITTLE PEASANT... YOU WILL SUFFER! "
The Evil Paladin's hand bursts into a flame and starts spying more flames at Zephyr...
Screaming He runs outside, burning, to find the nearest well.
"Now to get the book! MUAHAHAH!

Rulir arrives at the library.
Immediately, he casts a web spell on Carl, pinning him (helplessly this time
) to a chair.
"Now I have to perform some sort of exorcism on him." Rulir said to Zephyr.
rulir begins waving his arms in the air. A green myst seems to float about the room. The image of blackbeard seems to be mingled with that of Carl. The ghostly image lifts above the ground and explodes with blood and guts flying everywhere!
Of course, no one else gets hit by them since he's a ghost. Although they do feel a strong draft.
Carl comes to and sees Rulir standing before him.
"Good, Black Beard is gone for good. Now where is the book so I can protect it from more maniacs like Black Beard." said Carl
"Oh, you haven't figured it out yet?"
I'll get Frandall to give a cookie to anyone who gets it on their first guess.
, mmmm... tasty cookies.

Carl de Nehl is still in the library.
"You did good... Rulir... But... Black Beard took something with him.. when he was perished... Part of my soul... I fear I only have a few minutes to live before I pass on."
stummels Carl de Nehl.
"And... Now that I know... the book is in good... hands... I can rest... in peace...Rulir... come closer..." Carl's end is drawing near.
"What Paladin?"asks Rulir.
"I was wrong... You aren't... a peasant."
And with that, the great Paladin, Carl de Nehl dies, with a warm smile on his face.

"But what happened to the book?" asked Theo.
"What happened to the book? Very simple Theo, there was no book to begin with." said Rulir.
"What?" cried Zephyr.
"Think about it. I'm a mage, a fairly powerful one at that. When Lindus declared the books illegal, I was at most of the burning ceremonies. I was one of the few non-masters to get the letter explaining that they had tracked down every last one."
"So what book did you throw over the cliff?" asked Kestrel.
"Healing magic for dummies." Rulir said with a toothy grin.
"Wait just a second, how did they know that every single book had been tracked down?"
"Because there were only three to begin with. I practically did my thesis on them in fact. One belonged to Selindius, one belonged to Black Beard, and one belonged to Machaon. Machaon's was found in his underground lab, and Selindius obviously already had his one. Black Beard's was stolen from him in a raid by magi from the Pynx, where he, Black Beard that is, was mortally wounded and suspected dead. That's why I was so surprised to see him."
"So what happened to the books after Lindus gained control of them?" asked Lucas.
"They were destroyed. Dropped into the etheral void. I watched the ceremony myself. Say, shouldn't you be going off to tell Rogan about the library?" asked Rulir.
Lucas scurries away to go tell Rogan and the others at the Tavern about the library.

"Because there were only three to begin with. I practically did my thesis on them in fact. One belonged to Selindius, one belonged to Black Beard, and one belonged to Machaon. Machaon's was found in his underground lab, and Selindius obviously already had his one. Black Beard's was stolen from him in a raid by magi from the Pynx, where he, Black Beard that is, was mortally wounded and suspected dead. That's why I was so surprised to see him."
"So what happened to the books after Lindus gained control of them?" asked Lucas.
"They were destroyed. Dropped into the etheral void. I watched the ceremony myself. Say, shouldn't you be going off to tell Rogan about the library?" asked Rulir.
Lucas scurries away to go tell Rogan and the others at the Tavern about the library.

*OoC* WOW! *BI*
Ferazel stirs. He suddenly gets up and screams, "MASCOT is going to get me! ARRRRRRGGGG!!". Callie runs out and Ferazel runs screaming after. (Heh he. If you didn't know, MASCOT is the Ferazel's Wand editor!)

*Suddenly the person at the back jumps up.*
"You did what with the books?" Tyrael screamed at Rulir.
"I...uh...witnessed them destroy the books." Rulir stammers.
"Did they destory it?" Tyrael asked, eyes ablaze with sudden terror.
"Yes...we dropped it into the void." Rulir replies, not understanding.
"The etheral void???" Open astonishment showed on Tyrael's face.
"Yes, the books were obliterated. Nobody will ever see them again." Rulir seemed confident now.
"FOOL!" Tyrael yelled, the sound echoing in the suddenly-silent library. "THE ETHERAL VOID IS A PORTAL TO OTHER WORLDS!!!! The books were not destroyed!!!!"
Suddenly, Rulir didn't look so confident. "That...that would mean if somebody...if somebody happened to find one..."
"YES!!!"
"Uh oh..."

"We must get these books back as quickly as possible!" Lucas says with fear in his voice, "or else...I shall venture into the ethereal void and retrieve the books! Who is with me?"

In the first post, DarkDragon wrote that he didn't want to turn this into a team story, but rather a topic similar to "tavern continued", but that we could make other team stories related to the topic. Therefore, I want to start a new team story topic.
