Looking dazed, Axerva wandered through the isles in the library. She'd just spent three hours listening to someone quote stuff out of a very old book in the temple, and most of it had been, to Axerva (And Guillus too, although the chinchilla wasn't about to admit that.... mostly because he was asleep, once again, on Axerva's head...) like blah... blah... blah... important, blah... blah... blah.. special, blah blah blah... So annoying. So here she was, bored out of her mind, and more than a little glassy eyed. She wondered why she'd come here after listening to someone drone on about a book. That was really confusing...

Elfa was exploring her new home, the Guild Castle, when she came upon the library. This would probably be like a sanctuary to her, that is if this Library held any books that were worth her reading time. It smelled wonderful... so she walked in. Pretty soon, she got lost. The Library was huge! Then, she started to slow down, turning her head from side to side to find a way out. She was starting to panic. Then, she bumped into someone. "Oops!" she said rather absentmindedly, and saw Axerva. "Oh, hello," she said.

Guillus awoke, squeaked, and was caught by Axerva, who was used to this. "Hello!" Axerva said happily, glad there was something to take her mind off of the book... "Whoareyou? Areyounew? Youmustbe, becauseIknoweveryoneintheguild. I'mAxervabytheway, and that'sGuillus." She pointed to the Chinchilla who was, once again, asleep on her head. "He'salwaysasleep, don'tmindhim." She smiled at Elfa. "Welcometotheguildifyouarenew!"

Elfa was rather alarmed. "Oh... I'm Elfa, and yes, I'm new. Thank you..." She gave a curtsy and smiled at both Axerva and Gillus. "Can I pet him?" she asked, her hand already reaching for the Chincilla.

"NicetomeetyouElfa!" Axerva took Guillus off her head, "Sure, goaheadandpethim. Hereallylikesit. Hemaysquealandthentryandrun, butjustcatchhimandpethim, he'llcalmdown." Axerva caught Elfa's hand, and put Guillus in it. The Chinchilla was about the size of a large cat, so Elfa might need another hand to hold him.

And she did need another hand to hold Guillus. He almost fell, but her hands were quick and she caught him and held him firmly. "Hey Guillus!" she said in a high voice to the soft and very fluffy Chinchilla. He was squealing loudly, but then she started to pet him and scratch him behind his ears and such.

"Hesleepsalot, sodon'tbesurprisedifhe...yep, therehegoes." The Chinchilla was squirming, and then he stopped, and started to snore. How a Chinchilla could snore, only Jilath knew. "See? He'sasleepagain. Youcankeeppettinghimifyouwant, itwon'twakehimup." She giggled, "AnywayElfa, ifyou'reknewhere, whydidyoucometothelibrary? It'sactuallyratherboringhere." She looked around, her eyes glazed again. "VerrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyBoring."

She giggled and continued to pet Guillus. Now, Elfa felt embarrassed for being in a place that was considered boring by others. "Well, erm... I wanted to see what it was like," she answered truthfully. "Then I got lost... This place is huge! I was, er... looking for a way out, actually, when I bumped into you."

"There's a back room? Where?" Elfa asked, trying to look over Axerva's shoulders. She stood on her tippy toes like a child would. Her eyes were wide and she was smiling hugely as well. "What's it like back there when... er... Deshwitat's not there?"

"Um, Idon'treallyknow. He'salwaysbackthere, unlesshe'sbotheringhisbonded, Uniandherhusband." Axerva nodded sadly, "It'sacommonfactthathe'soverprotectiveofher, andthathedoesn'tenjoy, orlike, thefactthatshe'smarried." She shuddered, "He'sthegatekeeperofhell...soIwouldn'tmesswithhim."

"Ah..." Elfa didn't really know what to think of this Deshwitat-overprotective-demon-of-the-married-uni-bonded-to-deswitat-the-gate-keeper-of-hell... he sounded scary, though, so she heeded Axerva's advice. "So, what way is the way out of here?" she asked looking around.

"Yep!Wantsomehelpfindingit?" Axerva asked, cocking her head to one side, and staring at Elfa. She hoped she didn't scare the girl. She was a good girl, and didn't like to scare people. "'Causeit'smostlyaguessandcheckmethod. ItyoutravelthisfarintotheLibrary, it'shardtofindawayout."

Elfa wondered why Axerva was staring at her, but then decided to focus on a way out. "Yes, I can see that it's difficult," she told her. "So you'll help me?"

"Didn'tIjustsaythat? Well, ifIdidn't, thenyes! I'llhelp. I'mbored, andyouareaveryinterestingperson." She smiled, and then blinked. "Wanttotrythisway?" She asked, taking Guillus from Elfa, and then gesturing over her shoulder toward a isle. "It'sbettertghananythingelse."
