Forward: This is largely an experimental writing exercise of mine, but it also hopefully fills in some gaps that can't be conveyed in character, albeit in a roundabout way. I won't be using any characters besides my own to avoid god-modding, NPC or otherwise, but regardless, this should be considered non-canonical.
The Librarian and The Companion
Entry One: In Which Drama is Abandoned
“So what's your next move?”
“I'm thinking knight to F5. I need more active pieces.”
“I meant in life. Let's list your problems, shall we? You've failed to find anyone linked to our master, or at least ones you can approach without giving yourself away. You've failed to find anyone who you can match with -”
“Hey, there was that one girl. She has a firey soul. It wouldn't take much to match her. And the intellectual, again, not terribly hard.”
“You'll have to tell them at least some of the truth. Not the entire truth, but you may have to give them the benefit of the doubt.”
“Okay, granted. Anything else?”
“This land is dangerous. You can't stay here much longer without revealing yourself. This whole land is a war zone. This march on Sestra? It sounds like they'll win, but from what we've heard, their enemy has a habit of throwing in surprises.”
“So what, I reveal myself in the least dramatic way possible and help out the locals with their little war? Which, I might add, I have no incentive to do?”
“I know you want a dramatic appearance. You had planned on remaining as you are for what, another month or so?”
“Something like that.”
“Well like I said, this is a war zone. Your best bet is to wade into battle and forge alliances through blood and steel. There you'll find the souls you're looking for.”
“Guess it's time to show them what it means to be a Librarian. Let's prepare for war.”
