[QUOTE="The Joker, post: 5874367, member: 6674973"] Kyrus listened to his words, but they rang hollow. As he left, Kyrus scoffed under his breath. “… [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]It already has consumed me[/COLOR]…” he was relieved to hear that the food was ready, but resolved to his task. He thought it a stroke of luck when Gor turned Kendra away. As they left the stairs and returned back to the kitchen, he snuck down into the common room and opened the chest containing the books. Grabbing all of them, he swiftly retreated back upstairs to his room, thinking to himself”[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]the burden of forbidden knowledge is mine to bear[/COLOR].” As he sat down, he stirred one of his bubbling test tubes and began about reading the books one by one. The first he was saddened to see was simply about how to combat evil and contained knowledge of them as well. The other was a book based on the knowledge of old magic. As he tossed it down into his smallest metal chest, he came to the last book. As he tried to open the book, the metal clasp would not open for him, and he knew it to be locked. He considered asking one of the others to open the lock for him, but reconsidered when he knew that the first thing they would want to do would be to read it.
