This was not how he had expected the night to go, but he wasn’t going to complain. Having lived in a monastery, he wasn’t the type to jump into bed with the first girl to flirt with him, but these last few weeks had been...intense. Too bad his head still ached. He rolled over, sitting up in the bed. And rubbing his eyes. “Is the pain worse?” Came the angels voice in his head. “What is wrong?” He said, for something surely was. “Your Mind was not made to handle what angelic eyes can show you, not constantly at least.”“Will it get better?”“No,” came the reply. “In fact, it will likely get worse. “Do something,” Liam said, almost whimpering as the pain reached a crescendo. “I can’t handle this much longer.”The angel was quiet for a while as Liam suffered in silence. Light began to coalesce on the corner table, looking like a thousand thousand stars swirling around each other. They condensed and in a flash, a book appeared in their place. Liam moved to the book, the air cool on his skin. “This...is very dangerous.” The angel said. Liam reached for the book, feeling the power it emanated, a power he was specifically attuned to. “This book contains the the vast stores of knowledge about angel kind, specifically Aasimar. All the secrets of angelic power, as well as histories and codes, heraldry and the structure of the heavens lie in this book. It can teach you much, though you won’t understand most of it right now.”Liam gingerly lifted the fine leather cover, which was covered in intricate embossed shapes he vaguely recognized as angelic letters. In the center was the symbol of Paladin, i laid with gold. As he lifted the cover, the inner pegs almost seemed to be made of gold, and the intricate letters, diagrams and images were written in silver ink. To Liam’s whey’s, magic danced from this Tome like fireflies in the night. “How does his help my headache?” Liam asked, in awe of the gift but in too much pain to fully appreciate it. “Near the middle of the book is a very simple spell. It will show you how to block some of your site, and how to receive it again at will, for shorter periods of time. You will retain your ability to see in the dark. This should enough to stop the pain.”Liam turned to the page indicated, finding the spell. “Simple” was relative, but after a few minutes, he deciphered the spell. Moments later, the magic he had seen flowing through the world faded to nothing, and with it, his pain. He sighed deep in his soul as he realized it was gone. “What else is in this book?” He whispered as he turned a page. “Liam?” He heard behind him. He turned to see the priestess had awakened. She beckoned to him. He closed the book. Studying could wait for the morning. [/sblock]</blockquote>
