"The Librarian" (Greenhill) Emilia giggled happily, reading a book. It was one of her Toranian books. Written by the infamous Milich Oppenhiemer. It was an amazingly interesting book, though. It was about a Narcissistic tendency to it. It was all about this hero, who wore extremely flamboyant outfits, and attacked people with a hot-pink-colored foil. He was very dashing, but was misunderstood...Misunderstood. That's what Emilia was known most for when she was a student.. She was always studying, and almost never socialized with anyone, since she was almost always reading a book of some sort. Always absorbed in a life that wasn't her own...always...absorbed... "Emilia?" someone said, coming up to her desk. ...In a book...It didn't take her long to graduate. She studied as hard as she could, and passed with very high marks. Soon after, she became the Headmistress of the Academy. Emilia loved her job so much, and she loved helping others, and reading, even more then that... "Emilia!" the person shouted. "Ack! What?" Emilia looked up, innocently, and put a bookmark in the book, and set it aside, paying attention to the teenage student who was standing before her. "Well, I just came back from Two River City, you know, to the south?" The teenage boy stated, almost like he wasn't too sure that's where he came from. "Of course I know of Two River, it's a very popular city..." Emilia said with a nod. "Well, I saw this really old book they had there. The shopkeeper said it was a 'Rare Find'. I don't know what that means, but it was too expensive for me. I thought you'd want to know." He said, smiling. "Thank you! Thank you very much!" Emilia cried, as the boy walked off, back towards class. Oh, this was one of Emilia's true joys. Another book, a Rare one at that! She had to get to Two River. It was her father's fault she liked ancient history. He had been an archeologist, and had studied lots of ruins. Her mother had been a Runemaster, and had taught Emilia a lot about Runes, too. Her parents had vanished when she was little, leaving her with her aunt and uncle...But right now, she needed to get to Two River. She had to get there are quickly as possible. But how? Of course. She would leave the Academy in the hands of one of her friends, and travel south, to Two River. It should only take her a day or so to get there and back, she knew the way... "All right, thank you. I'll only be gone a few days. It isn't that far." Emilia told her intern. She left Greenhill with a backpack of supplies, and some books, and a small knife, in case she got into any trouble on her way. Trouble. That's what Emilia used to do when she was very young. She used to get into a lot of trouble with her family. She always was pushing blocks and chairs together to stand on top of them, just to get a book off a shelf she couldn't reach. Oh, she was always into reading, no matter what book it was. If it was a book, Emilia wound enjoy reading it. She got that from her mother and father, who had written several books together. Oh, how she missed them... Emilia stopped on the outskirts of Two River. She never noticed how beautiful the area was, until now. It was so calm, so serene...She took in a breath of fresh air, and continued forth, on her quest for a 'Old Book'...
