2nd Book | Video

[When Belle was not working at the library, she was still at the library reading a book or jotting down notes. When she thinks she has things figured out she switches on the feed in order to speak. When she finally settles the device down it's obvious she is pretty much surrounded by books, for what reason she was about to say.]

Fayren had a very... eventful situation a few days ago didn't it? I really wasn't expecting anything quite like that when I arrived, but now it's passed and I've been busy working on one of my skills.

[She moves a book and placed it in front of herself looking down at it.]

I thought I would try and see if there was a language here that I didn't know and to learn it. [She paused slightly.] So I would love to see how everyone's language looks written. If anyone is willing to show me?

[She was happy if people didn't but she was enjoying learning about other languages and it still made her wonder if perhaps this world had something like this another language somewhere that needed translating. Maybe giving them answers.]

[Oh hey, he recognizes that voice. And why isn't he surprised to see that Belle-san is in the library.]

I could show you mine.

[It takes a minute before he flips the feed to video and holds up a sheet of paper with the following on it: 黒羽 快斗 ]

That's how my name is written in Japanese.

In Kanji, yes. We have three writing systems in Japanese, Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana. Kanji are the ones that are the complicated looking ones.

This [He points to the 黒] translates to "black" in English, while this [he points to the 羽 ] translates to "feather", so my family name, Kuroba, translates into "black feather."

Languages are interesting, aren't they? I like Latin the best, I think.

Although I suppose the place to start would be to ask what languages you already know.

[Being what he was, Will could speak and write all the languages of man. Although it wasn't really something he advertised. ]

There's a couple of different means, but it seems like the most popular is 'kite.'

I think it must be so. [He grins suddenly. ] Because the Earth I know is certainly not without magic.

"Pleasant Big Dipper" actually and Big Dipper is in reference to the constellation.

Oh there are many people indeed in my world who believe that there is no magic in it. That magic is only something that belongs in half-forgotten stories to tell children.

But there is magic. It is in the wild places of the world, and it is in the Old Ways. It is in the very operation of the universe, for it is magic that keeps the planets turning in their courses and the stars shining.

I know with Japanese, it all depends on the reading of the Kanji, so your's might mean something different depending on how it's used?

Then again, it's been a long time since I've looked at French at all, Dad used to love dropping it in conversations when talking to Mom. If I'm right and assuming that 'Belle' is supposed to be French.

There are many kinds of magic in my world. That is the High Magic, which watches over the operation of the universe and holds judgement over the laws of magic.

[Will smiles, a little sadly.]

Where I come from, magic is a very weighty matter indeed.

Since the beginning of time, there have been two opposing forces. The Light and the Dark, a cold white flame that burns at the center of the universe and a great black pit as deep as the universe. And since they beginning of time they have fought a war for the future of humanity.

[The boy is silent for a moment, as he thinks of how to explain. ]

For the Dark wants nothing more than to see a world where such things as goodness and mercy and humanitarianism can no longer exist. All the things that allow men to exist with each other in peace. A world where even the choice to wish for such things can no longer be made. The Light exists only to oppose the Dark. For it is our task to see to it that no matter what choice is made by men, whether for good or ill, that they still have the right to make that choice free of any other influence.

It is the duty of my kind.

[And one that could not ever be refused. For that was why Will had been born and it was his purpose and it was the law. ]
