Eye Of The Eclipse 51 Let Me Tell Him

Having been lost within himself much before Rob had, the heavy barge which had sent him to the ground also helped Loki to pull himself together slightly. Getting up from the ground and walking over to Rykar, he couldn't help but wince when he caught sight of his brothers still dripping hand.

"You need to clean that off. We need to leave here and get back to Chance right now." Going with his suggestion, a barely audible grunt came from Rykar's throat before he turned his head away from the still warm body of Chris.

"Do we leave them here or?" Still mumbling his thoughts, Rykar asked as both twins glanced at Rob who now had tears soaking his face, despite not making a sound. Without the time to steady his resolve, the moment of Chris's death had completely stunned Rykar as he witnessed it play out. Despite not having said anything, as former companions of Chance and Rob, there was a, unspoken intent to avoid causing irreparable damage to them during the ambush.

Wiping his eyes, Rob quickly stood up and did his best to compose himself in front of the boys. Despite what had happened, he had been left in charge of the boys once again. This was anything but a good time for him to let his emotions get a handle on him.

"Rykar, I'll owe you a big favour. Would you mind storing their bodies for me? I'm hoping for a chance to bury them later. Anything's better than rotting down here" He paused. After taking another few seconds to glance over the three bodies, he looked over to Loki before agreeing with his previous suggestion. "As soon as we're done with them, we can leave. There's nothing else we need here but be sure you find something to wipe your hand off with. Also, can you throw me a spare cloak man?"

A second later, Rykar pulled a new black cloak from thin air and threw it over to Rob before taking a few breaths to steady his nerves. Closing his eyes and giving himself a quick pep talk, he knelt next to the closest body before pus.h.i.+ng his feeling that sensation of extending his senses into the Chris's corpse.

Each body was big and dense to the point that to store a single one, he had to focus for around three minutes. This grueling process left him sweating through his mask, droplets visibly freeing themselves from the end of his chin.

A worrying thing for him was, while looking internally, the floating sphere still had the same 10m radius, yet the surface area was starting to become cluttered with all the objects within. Taking up nearly half of the area was a glittering field filled with hundreds of spirit plants, along with a large pile of the fruits themselves. The individually picked fruits were situated in the centre of the field and their rampage within the fragment before they escaped had allowed the stack to reach nearly a metre and a half high. The meagre amount which they had put up for auction hadn't even put a dent in it.

Under a quarter of the s.p.a.ce was then taken up by the various supplies, furniture, clothing and gear that they had spent the last two days getting. The good thing about these things, was that most of the supplies were hard goods, allowing them to be stacked up on top of each other, limiting the potentially large amount of surface area they would have taken up. Rather than spreading outwards, he simply planned to stack and potentially organize the s.p.a.ce when he had the free time to facilitate the mental burden.

This left over a quarter but less than a third of the s.p.a.ce for him to place any new additions to his collection. Including the three bodies.

Reluctant to place them with any of the other objects, he set them in the centre of the empty area, far away from everything else as possible. In the centre of the once empty s.p.a.ce were now three bodies lying side by side with their backs on the ground. Each one was gory in their own way with blood soaked clothing and a messy wound somewhere on the body.

With the important things wrapped up and most of the evidence of the fight cleared up from their clothing, the three didn't wait around with any trivialities. Instead of trying to clean up the scene or salvaging any more of the furniture, they headed straight to the library, where they found Chance sitting outside casually while drawing the attention of pa.s.sersby just with his mask alone.

"Took you long enough. We're staying here till the auction starts." Taking their silence as indifference, Chance turned round and headed into the library while leaving Rob at the entrance with his pained expression still hidden under his mask.

Not knowing how to begin the conversation and still having the three bodies fresh in their minds, the twins stood behind Rob while being even more distressed when it came to conversing about anything at all. The entire trip up to this point had been made in silence besides one sentence uttered by Rob.

"Let me tell him."

And that was exactly what they intended to do.

"Welcome to the Grand Library! How can I be of service today? Entry is 50 silver a person with a room being 1 gold per day." Welcoming the four guests, a man in black overalls hurriedly sat up from behind the counter while presenting their options without wasting time.

"How large are your rooms?" Chance took the initiative, quickly finding out that there were actually two sizes for the rooms. The first, being the 1g room which was around 25 square metres equipped with chairs and a central table. The second costed 3g a day and featured a much larger table, sofas and even a small refreshments area within a 70 sqm area on the upper levels of the 20 story library.

Much to their surprise, renting a room for over 7 days qualified them to receive a discount, bringing the price down to 2g a day. Hearing them asking about many of the more costly options, the librarian raised an eyebrow for a second before looking at their masks and shaking his head. 'a different breed after all' he thought with an internal sigh.

"Premium room, 83 days. Bring food for 7 people three times a day." Leaving the man to do the math, he gestured to Rykar, who took a bag off his back with oddly shaky movements before shoving his hand into it and waiting for the librarian's reply.

While still calculating the ma.s.sive figure, the librarian looked down at the much shorter figure while slightly baffled by his movements. Rather than waiting for his reply, it seemed as is he was simply going to wait there, with his hand stuffed inside his backpack, until he came up with the sum.

It was an awkward thirty seconds before all the money was accounted for and the librarian personally toured them round the s.p.a.ce before leading them to their rooms. From the outside, the library honestly looked like nothing special to say the least. The wood and stone exterior of the building even made it look old and slightly clumsy in some places, with the only thing for one to marvel at being the buildings size, towering above all the nearby structures.

The inside was the polar opposite. Marble and stone laced the interior with pillars shooting towards the ma.s.sive domed ceiling. Mezzanine floors could be seen throughout the entire dome, with a spiral staircase winding up a large central pillar like a blooming flower with the wide staircases branching off and linking it with the floors. There were people everywhere, hurrying around the forest of book shelves while a smooth and comfortable silence, perfect for reading, laced the hall.

Rather than going up the stairs, similar to the underground 'chimney', the centre of the central column functioned as an elevator which smoothly and silently delivered them to the 18th floor before decending once again without them.

Leading them down the long hallway illuminated with sunstones and a large window pane at the far end, the librarian ushered them towards the room they would be staying in for the next three months.
