⚒ third - [ audio/open to action ]

I didn't find what I needed in the waterways.

[ There's the sound of pages turning. If one listens carefully, they could hear quiet voices speaking, and the occasional sound of book covers sliding against one another as they are removed from shelves. ]

This library is even bigger than the one in Exsilium. [ And yet, he's only found a few things from Earth Land. Namely some magazines. ] I think I will be here for a while.

[ Another page turn. Zeref murmurs something that sounds vaguely like disapproval, before the feed ends. ]

I suppose you could say that.

[Riiight. If frowns had a sound, it would be this pause. You just answered 'purple' to a yes or no question.]

Alright, is it bigger than a bread box and dangerous? Or smaller than a bread box and dangerous?

Does this matter? If it is here, I will find it.

It matters, idiot.

[There's another sound of a large rock hitting something hard and falling.]

A great many of the people in the central city are completely normal and have the survival ability of a baby panda. As for the other four... [A slight sound of irritation.] They might be a little more wary, but if it's a threat they are not ready for they might as well be baby pandas as well for a while. So I'll ask once more, is this thing you're looking for dangerous?

... Yes. [ Said with just the tiniest hint of frustration. ] It is a series of books containing very power, and very dangerous dark magic. I would be surprised if it is here, but I can't take the risk of not knowing.

Alright. Then after your first hour at the library you may as well give up. Libraries rarely have one-of-a-kind or hand written books and if they do they'll be eternally checked out to a long list of people.

[There's a slight hum and some crackling paper as she unfolds a map.]

If those books are here, and if the authorities haven't already scooped them up to lock away into being forgotten, then someone else has them. And since there doesn't seem to be panic and chaos, someone who isn't evil or has no idea what they possess.

I'm the only one here who would know how to handle these books safely, if they are here. [ Of course, others might, but he'd rather be safe than sorry. ]

That is, of course, assuming they were ever here to begin with.

[a slightly rusty chuckle]

That could be true. But if they're in someone's attic it could take you forever to find them. But perhaps it's better that way? I take it you have experience in a road less traveled.

It wouldn't be the first time someone took those books without knowing what they were getting into.

[ Or worse, thinking that they can control that kind of magic better than Zeref himself can. Hades had it coming. ]

The Council forbids this type of magic for a reason.

It's about the most repetitive story in any universe. And I can hardly fault them though at the same time I can see a bit of a flaw in that logic. But in any case... Is it purely magic, or did you include some sort of mental presence?

The magic contained within those books gives birth to demons.

Would a telepath be able to sense them? Both the books and the demons?

[That sound? Totally not a yawn. Silly daylight...]

I don't know about the books. [ He's not a telepath, after all, though what he did in Chapter 372 and 373 might have been a rather powerful form of a Thought Projection. As for the demons themselves... ] I'm not sure if you'd want to communicate with the demons, telepathically.

[ Especially not if it's Kyouka, Jackal, or Ezel. Or Lullaby, for that matter. ]

[the wry smile is certainly audible]

Certainly not, I've experienced enough sewage over the years I'm not about to step right in another unknown puddle just because I'm curious. But one doesn't have to talk to something to notice it at the end of the street.

Some of the demons are a bit more level-headed than others, but they are still, at their core, demons. It's in their nature to be destructive.

That's rather helpful. There's a certain rhythm to a destructive mindset that can be recognized if it's strong enough.

That is how they were intended to be.
