Nirina changed into the robes, then stepped out of the room as well. "Comfortable."

She nodded. "This way, if you would." She climbed a flight of stairs to a floor that was a little more lavish than the one the apprentices slept on.

Nirina followed, taking in the somewhat familiar, but breathtaking sights.

She knocked on one of the few doors and it disappeared. A woman was sitting at a desk, looking over. "Gimera, who is this?" "Your new student." Woman

Nirina bowed. "My name is Nirina." Unfortunately, she couldn't find the words to explain her history.

She nodded. "I am Ishvera." She dismissed Gimera who bowed and walked off.

"I'm learning the language. I may not understand what you say."

She switched to English. "This will probably be better, then."

"That's much better. Not many of you speak English it seems. I used to know the ancient languages because I was once an ajunsha until I was captured and experimented upon."

Post by Kiki on Jul 9, 2010 17:07:18 GMT -5
She nodded. "It's mostly the ajunsha themselves that don't understand English. This temple was just revived twenty-five years ago, so only a few know it. There are still ajunsha that don't even know we're here."

"Ajunsha who don't know. If Mother wants them here, I can try to locate them and telepathically tell them where we are."

"There could be reasons they don't know we're here yet that Mother or Master Sandu have planned."

"I only offered. I've seen many things while meditating."

She nodded. "I know. I was just saying."

"So, my training should begin soon. As should Sinra's."

"It'll start tomorrow. Today will be a tour of the temple."

"That's understandable. We need to know the place."
|

Post by Kiki on Jul 9, 2010 17:29:57 GMT -5
She nodded and started giving her a tour.

Sinra was getting a tour at the same time.

The two passed each other at the library. They'd come from opposite ends of the temple.

Nirina gave Sinra's shoulder a little touch as they passed.

"We can converge here for a few minutes," Isherva said. She opened the doors to the huge library. The ceilings were at least twenty feet high. The bookshelves reached that high and as far as the ey could see.

"Wow." Nirina floated up, looking at all the books. "Incredible. I could spend years in here."

She nodded as did Nira, the Delcatty that was Sinra's guide. "Half of all of Mother's knowledge is contained in this library," Isherva said.
|

|
Post by kratos on Jul 9, 2010 17:42:39 GMT -5
"Would this library even contain information on us?" Nirina asked.
|
|
|
Post by Kiki on Jul 9, 2010 17:44:57 GMT -5
She shook her head. "That information would be contained within one of Master Sandu's libraries. While Mother knwos all beings, she doesn't know as much as Master Sandu does. He's the Master of Death and thus has more personal knowledge for when you die, the best way to make sure you understand you're dead."

"It seems a little ironic to me that Mother, who gave us all life, loves Sandu, the master of death. Life and death in love. I'm not questioning it. I'm just saying it seems ironic."

"Befor eMother became the Creator, there was another world before this one. He was her best friend in it, along with Master Sandu's sister, Sonai."

"I see. Even so, that doesn't make it any less ironic."

She shrugged and closed the doors to he library. "Until both of you become full fledged, you have to ask permission to enter," Nira said. She was one of the few ajunsha that spoke English.
