67 Refuge Part 6

District B, Delmar City

Inside of Hubert public Library in District B sitting at the front counter was Lance Simmons. He was secretly Reading a beginner rank book on magic. Usually, any book that contains anything about magic is kept locked up, but lance has been working at the library for so long that he already found a few ways around some of the rules.

The library had the usual amount of traffic that lance always sees not to yet not too few. The libraries in district B were fancier than those in District D and C as well as the Underground. The library Lance worked at was three stories tall. The main hall where you first enter and where you check out things was circular.

The floor was a fancy mostly white marble with black splashes everywhere. Looking up from the main hall you could see the other floors and the glass dome at the top. The library was beautifully designed and an easy place to work.

Lance was overjoyed when he first got the job because it was only through luck he got to work in a place as nice as the Hubert public Library. There was no end of people who wanted the job lance now had.

While Lance was still sneaking a peek at the magic book under the counter a well groomed man that had an air of confidence walked in. He wore a purple suit without a vest or tie he had his collar unbuttoned displaying a bit of his chest.

His strong jaw and mysterious eyes exuded his strength as he charmed you with his gaze. The man had medium length black hair with green highlights in it an uncommon style choice with the current fashion trend going around. This was a man that demanded attention and got it when he asked.

The intriguing man walked up towards lance, lance sensing someone approaching stopped reading and locked eyes with the peculiar man for the first time. A lot of questions formed inside lance's mind, but he threw them all into the back of his head to service the man.

"Hello, ser well come to Hubert Public Library, how may I be of service to you today" lance utter robotically and with grace from years of working in the same place.

The interesting man looked at Lance with his dark brown eyes and smiled, "I have just come off a long ride on the nimbus airship. while exploring the town I wound up here and simply had to come in. It's a good thing I did this place is so big and it has so many books its a perfect place for me to study".

Lance listed to what the man had to say and already had a good guess on where the man came from. "Excuse me for asking, but are you a refugee from the Loran Isles?".

"Yes, I am".

Lance became a bit flustered and apologized to the man "I am so sorry, what happened to you guys was terrible. The isles suddenly sinking like that it must have been a traumatic experience".

The man simply waved off what Lance said "It's alright the Loran Isles wasn't really my home anyway. So, can I start taking out books here today or not"?

"Yes you can start checking books out today, but there is a limit that you can take per person. Books regarding magic we do have a few, but they are special and you can not buy or take them home plus a special library card is needed to be eligible to look at those books which are quite hard to get. Only 5 percent of our members possess that card".

"I'm not interested in magic at the moment I'll study that latter I'll look into your world's history and economics first. I would like to get started now so please get me a card as quickly as possible.

Lance thought he heard wrong when he listened to the man "your world" as if he wasn't apart of it. So Lance disregards it thinking it was a mistake on that man's part.

"Ok, that is a simple process I'll just need your name and some ID. Even though your from the Loran Isles and not originally a Delmar City resident it won't matter so long as your apart of the Magi Empire".

"You want my name ... Hmm" at that moment the intriguing man couldn't help but think about his past. "I've gone by many names me far more than most others, but now I just go by Eliot Row". After saying that Eliot conjured his ID in his palm the same way Desmond dis and handed it to lance.

Lance joked around a bit and Replied "it sounds like you lead an adventurous life and it kind of sounds like you still eager for adventure. If even sea monster, traps, and an entire island sinking while your standing on it couldn't kill you should try out married life. If she doesn't kill you than the alcohol will luckily before you decide to do your self in if you know what I mean".

Eliot understood what lance meant and it was true he did want to relive his glory days a bit, but he knew that was all behind him, but what he is now and what he does now will still be the same as his past because he will be a man that will shock the world.
