After her encounters with the giant and the man that had taken her daughter, she knew she needed to learn much more. Rising from the spot that she preferred to lay in at the Red Dragon, she walked to the door and moved out into the night air. Wings unfurled, and she pushed herself off the ground, heading back to her brother's library. It was late she knew it, but she needed to do this, and landing, she moved in through the door, nodding quietly to a few others that were around. Her eyes moved back over the books that had once intimidated her, and moving to a shelf, she chose two, one about the Ancient dragons, the other about Dragon magic. Clutching the books carefully, she moved to a corner and lowered herself to the floor, placing the books down carefully and opening them, she began to study. Wings unfurled and rested on the floor of the library and she studied all through the night, until she had finally worn herself out, her talon carefully keeping her place within the book about the Ancients, she fell sound asleep.

::Aurthur too had been in the library studying up on various things. He nearly tripped over his mate with his fatigue, and he couldn't help but smile down at her. She had been studying so hard on top of being a mother. He laid down next to her and nuzzled her gently with his snout, pressing a kiss to her cheek:: A library is not really a good place for a snooze, my beloved......

She awakened slighty at the kiss, peering sleepily at her mate whom she hadn't even noticed come in.

I know its not love...but I felt the need to study, and what better place to learn, a smile was given as she returned the kiss, then looked back down at the books nearby, the one still underneath her paw while the other lay next to her.

Besides...I needed to do this...for myself as well as for you and our family.

::Aurthur nodded solemnly:: That is why i am here too. There are many things that i do not know, and do not understand. There are also many different things on magic, and even on our own kind that i did not know, and that will help me to learn and grow more powerful, so i can better protect you and our children. ::He smiled softly and peered at the book that his wife was reading:: One of the things that i noticed very quickly about this library is that it is not for your average 'light reader.' Many of the books and scrolls here are very complex, and require much time and total concentration to read and understand.

Yes love, my older brother has been trying to help me for awhile, but I was intimidated, afraid I'd mess up, but now I know, messing up is part of learning. I'd meant many times before to stop by, but things just didn't work out like they should have. Mostly it was because of me not having enough confidence, I know better now, and I will accept all the help I can get, even if it takes years to learn, I'm finally ready, and willing, then a smile was given to her brother, as she went back to reading the articles on elders, remaining on the floor at her mate's side.

Messing up is indeed a part of learning. ::He chuckled, peering at her reading material:: The elders, and even the gods themselves had to mess up a lot before they learned. I have messed up more than my fair share of times, and i still havent learned! ::He laughed as he poked fun at himself.:: None of us ever actually learns all that there is to learn. We dragons may have extended lives, so we are given the golden opportunity to learn more than others, and yet there are many dragons that do not take this opportunity.......growing up alone, i have learned alot on my own earlier than i should have. So if there are any questions that you may have that you think i might know, you can ask me, love.
