Trader chewed the gum for a moment, thinking.

She had the rest of the day. Even part of the night if she wanted to. What was she going to do?

She could always go into town. There had to be something going on there. Maybe a concert or party she could hang out at. There wasn't anything really going on around the university today. And she didn't want to just sit around.

Hesitating for a moment more, she turned and dashed up the stairs to her apartment.

The room was more attic than apartment. Big enough for a small party (perhaps ten people) and dancing, but small enough that it wasn't a house. The ceiling hung low, random unwanted objects covered and pushed up against the walls. Her bed lay under a thick-paned window, a few inches away from the wall in a cleared space. Towards the back was a closet, clothes lining the narrow walls, through which was a bathroom, complete with sink, toilet, shower/bathtub, and only one way in. Through the closet Trader now swung, closing the door behind her. Grabbing a random cd off a stack, she twirled into the bathrom, stuck the cd in it's player, then began peeling off her clothing and jewelery as she started to run a steaming shower.

[i]He babied the glasses and put them on walking over to the pedastel sure to avoid any nearby armor. He nodded to Eldrith " Thank you sir, you're help has been most valuable." He would glance down at the book from the point of his name and then flip the page. Silently he inacted a light power reaction as he would be standing rigid gravity wouldn't have as much pull only on him alone. He turned the pages 1500 at a time and looked down at the book.

He didn't know the language at first, then it was as if he heard a whisper. He mindlinked carefully with Eldrith, " Your race...are you Ryuujin?" He looked at the language and kept a careful glance at the book. This man was superb, perhaps legendary in a battle. Perhaps with his help he could escape the bondage from the Astral Summoner, and the Nexus to grow strong with his native world of Wrathaenhope.

He smiled and read the pages standing his full stature, he lowered the hood to his white robe. Allowing his Ivory Crescent Staff to suspend itself midair near him. He had black hair and emerald hues his face was as white as snow. And the red glasses certainly did him some wonders by giving him an air of wisdom perhaps beyond his years. But he seemed young no older then his early twenties, an anomaly in itself why his age was so pre-determined.

But he still carried an air of youth established, however his knowledge came at sacrifice. He lost against the Astral Messiah only to be made his lapdog to do as he pleased. It didn't seem he loathed it, but the guide he had passed onto him was valuable to him non the less. The Planes Walker Guide to the Omniverse. As much as it gives a sense of mediocrity, he found it equally useful to scribe new techniques into it.

He was quite versed in all types of skills, but chose to create a school upon which elemental attacks were useless. He called his self taught discipline Unelemental Arcana, using dark forces and light forces. He was able to create a grey arsenal of techniques and psionic powers through this rigid training. But that wasn't his only interest, he wanted to create a school of Zodiac based attacks. With powers marked at defeating un aligned zodiac with complex techniques.

But still his thirst for knowledge was what put him at a precarious situation. He felt after he understood what the Sanctium Cube was, he would be able to finnally end his charade of empowerment. Silently he read the book memmorizing everything that came to him able to form micrcosms in his mind. This of course to store the invaluable information in his sub concious. In order to retain every bit of information visualizing how such reactions would look.

*Elrith chuckled abit as this man tried to guess his race. He had only ever had one person successfuly do so, and that person was his predisesor. He glaced up from his work and decided he would correct the man in a attempt to strike up a comversation.*

"No...Actually, i am not. my race is one few have heard of and fewer still know of it. Then again..."

*He glanced down at his pipe, then looked at his guest. His eyes were reading the arcane magic around him like a thermal scope read heat signatures. He realized at that moment who the man was and what he had been up to over the past few months.*

"Perhaps for one who travels the planes of the Omniverse the knowlegde of my race will be more common..."

*He leaned foward and looked the man in the eye, convaying how he was not lying.*

"I am a Lor Nomina..."

*He spoke with layered tones, a signature trait of his race. His voice was like a chorus speaking in time, with the bass section resounding as the melody. He leaned back in his chair and returned to his work, waiting for the man to either continue the conversation of let it ly. Then he suddently realized how rude he was being.*

"And what race are you? if i may ask."

*He added, as well as offering the man a drink.*

Finishing her shower, she hummed to herself, bobbing her head to the beat of her music, drying off. Walking from her bathroom into her closet, she picked out a pair of black, tightish, torn-in-a-stylish way jeans, underwear, a semi-low-cut t-shirt, and a plaid blazer jacket. shaking her hair out, she took a pair of Converse high tops from a shelf, and a pair of red and black knee-high socks with skulls and crossbones on them. Throwing them out of ther closet, she took her car keys off a hook in the wall before following them out the door and into her room.

He calmly walked over and sat down in front of him taking the drink. He was never tired and would state so quickly the red glasses seemed to give him a minor sagely look.

" Saddly I don't know, I was manifested into this plane that spoke to me. It said it was a mobius plane called Wrathaenhope. It said a name to me it called me Ae`creed Ahrenesperzion Hikari, but I don't know who they are or who they served..it said I was the last pure blood of people who were enslaved. By Kishin, Majin, and Megami, but I don't know who they are."

His staff would still levitate near the desk with the ancient book he discovered the cube of power.
He looked over to Elrith and calmly asked " What is a Lor Nomina, and which Plane do they come from?"

He was a tad bit curious he would take a swig of the drink and hand it back to Elrith, then eyed his pipe. " What is that you are smoking?"

He had never smoked an herb before and it seemed slightly interesting to him . He took in a long whiff of the exotic fumes the herb exhuded. But had never seen a maryjuana plant or whatever he was smoking.

" I heard of a race called the Ryuujin, they use a power called the Aegis Emporium. Thus I became a little interested in it. There have been multiple cubes named and given but what is the truer faith? My plane is much like any of these microcosmic realities.

He would nottice his pattern was in a constant state of transitioning from blues to reds. But it was well hidden behind layers of aura that seemed latent. [i]

*Elrith gazed at the man softly, his amber eyes where analyzing him. namely his aura. then his eyes shifted, the pupils grew abit as he exaplianed the flow of magic aroun the being. remarkable, he seemed to have a direct conection to the weave, something that defelopes by traveling the planes, but only in a few speicies. He was not sure why, but this beingseemed to have the mark of every race he had every met. As long as he has lived, he has never met such a creature, and he was curious.*

"To be honest, im not sure where my race came from, to be true, i dont think anyone does. The Lor Nomina were the first race in this plane to my knowledge, then again i suppose the Interplanur Temple is our original home. if you look at section 4 chapter 6 it will explain my race (or you could check my Chara Sheet tongue

)"

*He took another puff of his pipe, the smoke was sweet smelling and lingured in the shape of a ring as he exhaled."

*Tronmark Root, i find that combining it with a bit of Hurama leaves and a dash of Waston nut helps me clear my mind."

*He sat back thinking of the Ryuujin. he had met a few, powerful creatures as he recalled, their magic was strange, it did not flow through the Weave, unlike other races.*

"The Ryuujin use strange magic, magic not I or anyother being i know of at this university can master. the last Headmaster was part Ryuujin, i believe, so perhaps if you check his autobiography you will find more. its over there on the table."

*He gestured to a large oak table with many book stacked apon it.*

Backpeddling into her bathroom, she picked a diamond stud out of a small box, swirled it in some rubbing alcohol, then slid it gently into place. Dabbing on some eye liner to make her green eyes shiny and sharp, she half-skipped out of her bathroom and flopped onto her bed to put her socks and shoes on.

Jumping up, Trader snatched a belt off of another hook in her wall and slid it through the loops in her pants. I wonder who will be around tonight, she thought, Or if they all desided to finally get a life.

Giggling to herself, she grabbed her wallet off of a dresser filled with nothing buy cd's and covered in stickers. She hooked the checker board leather on a chain, shoved it in her back pocket, then hooked the other end of the chain to her belt.

Electric sliding out of her room, she sat on the stair railing, lifted her feet up, and slid all the way down, jumping off at the end. Laughing like a little school girl, Trader made her way over to the bell, leading to Elrith's office, a portal she had yet to figure out.

He smiled at Elrith and would nod, " Interesting substance, there is a place in my Plane where Yggdrasil roots go endlessles down it. I think because the tree is there the Plane has substance, though arbritrarily." His emerald eyes would downcast as he reached into his pouch of infinite holding. Where he would take out a bag of grinded up roots. " The tree said to me to shave a little of the bark off, and to set fire to it. I never knew what the tree meant it but I guess the tree knew all along."

A smile would thinly appear on his face as he put the bag onto Elrith's desk. He would listen to the man as he would describe the book near him. He stood up and would go an fetch it adding it to the two books he had already.

" I think I will scribe duplicates of both of them, if could never hurt to have extra's you know. By the way I like the smell of the library, old books always made me feel at home for some reason. Maybe it's because the knowledge of the Ancients is contained therein.

He would look to Elrith and would nod in a very sagely manner, then put the books back into his pouch.

" I appreciate all that you have done for me Elrith, if I could help you at anytime, just ask."

He turned a momment his mind drifted to Elrith's accidentaly and he found a single word in his mind. The word came out in a whisper. " Omega."

He turned towards Elrith a momment and blinked towards him and nodded, " I am sorry but my mind wandered, what is Omega though?"[i]

*Elrith thought... Omega... the word struck familiarity to him. Perhaps because of its closeness to the name Omaga, however why would this man think of Omaga, Omaga was in the void now, trapped due to Torm's will.*

"I have no idea... Omega, perhaps it is a place, a Plane maybe. hmmm... you are perhaps remembering something you once read about a place you have not checked."

*He stood and walked over to the case on the wall, inside were his two blades, he took them and strapped them on, then glance at him. his pipe still with him, he smiled.*

"However..."

*He turned about and smirked adventureously at the man*

"i know of only one way to find out..."

*He headed over to the man and to the wall that led out of his office, reaching up to tap the bell on the wall with his forefinger.*

Trader brushed her hand against the bell, the hair on the back of her neck rising.

She always got nervous when she was this close to Elrith's office. So much wisdom, so much magic... sighing, she was about to ring the bell when another resounded.

Brows pulling together, she turned, wondering what the sound was, if even a bell. It sounded distant, quiet, and unattached. Shuffling uncomforatably, Trader swallowed, turning back around. Perhaps this was a bad time to tell Elrith she was going out. He should know, though, if something were to happen.

Arguing with herself mentally, she hesitated to ring the bell.

He looked over to Elrith and for a momment he shook his head, " I can't say that I am seeing a plane in this, my memmories...are strange Elrith. Sometimes I see the ground below me be broken down into void, and then I see the pieces come back together from a distant object."

But that wasn't the only story of what he had seen in his brief accounts of Planes Walking. He knew of places where his skills were greatly enhanced by the mental plane.

Once I saw through the eyes of another, the corporeal reality shattered before my feet then I appeared at a tree of light. Where I fought an Aethereal Prism Reaper, I survived it's onslaught only to have my body purified by the........Yggdrasil Tree.."

Thomas thought in his mind silently and then asked Elrith, " Have you ever heard of an Omega Plane though?" He would be curious but as of immediatly, he felt a girl behind the door, he could sense her presence. But didn't know here therefore didn't want to seem rude or anything. He merely walked to the door and stood there in his sandy white robe and black pants, boots, and long sleeve shirt with a leather belt.

Thomas looked quietly over to Trader with emerald eyes with a pearl white fleck in the middle of both his corona. " I am sorry but I felt you on the other side of the door, I assume you wanted to talk to Elrith?"

Thomas was a curtious fellow but blunt and to the point, maybe he opened people up to new possibilities. But in this stage he is begining to emerge in his own way of thinking. But what is all that experience to do without another source of contentment he wondered. Thomas often spotted opposite gendred pairs in ritual face sitting called making out so to speak.

He didn't seem to think that was all that bad, in fact he was curious about that facet of humanity. But on a side note he would study the Lor Nomina, as well as the Ryuujins to better make up his style in order to advance further.[i]

*Elrith appeared behind Trader. having hit the bell a few miliseconds beforehand.*

"Oh Ms. Trader... did you need to speak with me?"

*He asked quizically... he was a bit more used to this sight though, Ms. Trader was always down stairs from him and he saw her more times a day then any other staff member. He had learned her body language, her habits. Her stance and the way she was dressed he put together a few clues and came to a conclusion.*

"Going out for a night in the city assume?"

Trader spun, did a few double takes, before finally answering. She directed her words first to the person at the door, then at Elrith, unsure of who's questions she should answer first.

"Hi -- Yeah. Um, is... is this a bad time? Sorry, I just... Kinda wanted to let you know I was going out in case I like, wasn't here in the morning or something. So you'd know where to look."

She smiled, all teeth glowing, faltering as she glanced at the person behind her. She wasn't sure who he was, be she desided she had better at least say hi.

"Sorry if I am, uh, interupting something...." She stepped back, fidgeting, unsure of how to go about a greeting. Playing with her car keys, she ran the ragged edge along her finger, feeling the pull of the metal. She didn't feel trapped, exactly, the way she was between Elrith and the other man, but more unsure if she was supposed to be between them or to the side to they could see each other clearly.

Six feet from the edge....

He would shake his head and softly replied " No I was about finished, I was just collecting some study materials. I never get borred looking through an old book, reminds me of home."

He would extend his right hand out to Trader and give her a kind but small smile.

" I am Thomas by the way, you are?"

He listened to her and looked over to Elrith he would nod over to him in a sagely manner. " I will make sure to return them once I am finished. It was good to meet you Elrith, maybe I can learn from you later on."

Thomas looked over to Trader and asked her pointedly, " know of a good place to congregate?"
A small smile looking over to her, it was easy to assume from his point of view she was a mortal.
He certainly did feel lucky, not seeing a ring on her hand perhaps luck was in his favor today.

He'd slide by Trader and walk down the steps, he would fit the books in a strange pouch that contained the books without difficulty. His staff followed right behind him as he walked probably having forgotten to hold it. Maybe it would surprise Trader to see a staff that moved along with its master, or not.[i]
