Zen quietly watched the pages, catching bits and pieces of words as they flew by. Arceon was mentioned quite a few times, along with other names he didn't recognize. How would these animals be ancestors of these people? Could they take a human form, or were they creators of life?

"A lot of this is just the talk about spirits of Ibana. There is also a lot of history behind the country and its rulers having the blood of Arceon running through their veins." Takumi notes the other animals. "All these spirits represent some sort of emotion or trait that humans have. Like Arceon being the leader type."

"I see. Still, what is happening 'currently' in the last few pages?" Zen asked. Something about this book was bothering him. Why was it here of all places? Had someone taken it from the library?

Takumi flips to the most recent page.
"It says that Ibana is having a civil war with itself due to Narkal, the uncle of Ira took over and exiled Ira and her siblings Ryan and Bard. They wish to reclaim the throne that was stolen and defeat their uncle and save their country from ruin." Takumi says.

This country's story was certainly long and had a lot of depth to it. Maybe they'd meet someone from this world, since this book had ended up here. "Where exactly did you find this?" Zen asked, quickly glancing at Rei. The girl was still at a nearby stand. Good. It would be easy to lose her if she wandered off.

"It was wedged in between a wall." Takumi says. "Maybe we need this book. I'll hold onto it."
Niles and Nagei returned, Niles had a bag of small assorted candies with him.

"There you are," Zen said, looking over at the two. He then noticed what Niles was carrying... "Candy?"
At the word "candy," Rei perked up and ran over to the group. "Ooh, can I have one?"

"I don't know.. they are sweet and lemon tasting. A perfect combination in my eyes." Niles smiles. "But, sure. You can have one."
Takumi looks at Nagei and then looks towards the sky.

Masaki cocked his head to the side "Is it to show the world that anything can be stolen and that they would need to find ways to prevent how you stole the jewel?" He asked wondering if he had made any sense

Rei's eyes seemed to light up as she took a candy and popped it into her mouth.
"So, if everyone's ready, we should get going," Zen said. It would be best to start the likely-long trip as soon as possible.

"Yeah. Let's go." Takumi says as he starts to walk.
Nagei and Niles follow as a shadow in the distance mumbles to itself.
"They'll fall right into the trap." It mumbles. "Soon, he will be back..."
The shadow disappears.

Zen quietly followed, with Rei cheerfully walking beside him. She knocked aside a small pebble with her spear.

Takumi felt the air grow cold with each second they were walking. Something was watching them and it was waiting. Takumi shook it off as just a feeling. The landscape was dull and desert like from here.

Something wasn't right. The atmosphere was menacing, like the deeper floors of a labrynth. Zen drew one of his crossbows, although didn't raise it yet. Rei looked around, sensing the change in the group's mood, but seemed more confused than scared.

Dragons Vein Auransky Lioncl mintedstar/furGarry had just been watching them silently. He thought the tricks were impressive, but he could just sense that Ran wasn't really friends with Kid, especially since she sort of hinted to that before they ran into this other group. He whistled softly as he walked, glancing around before pulling out a hard lemon candy from his jacket pocket. He slowly unwrapped it. "It feels like we're just walking in circles..."

"What is this bad feeling?" Takumi asks aloud. "It doesn't feel right to me."
"Agreed." Niles adds. "Something doesn't seem to sit well."

"I'm not sure that it's a beast..." Zen muttered. No beast had given off this odd feeling.
"Do you think it's a Shadow? Or something like that?" Rei whispered, clutching her spear tightly.

"Maybe we are puppets in it's plan." Takumi says. "Something is watching us and it wants us to give in."

"Th-that's a bit creepy," Rei said quietly, looking down at her feet.
Zen shook his head. "If that's the case, I won't let that plan continue. If there's a plan at all." After all, he and Rei had defied fate before. If they could do it then, they could do it now.

Takumi nodded. He was a pawn in Garon's stupid game. He wouldn't let this happen again.
"I hope whatever it is could-" Nagei froze when she saw someone lying on the ground.

Rei looked up, wondering why Nagei had suddenly stopped talking, and saw someone on the ground. "H-hey, someone's here!" Before Zen could react, she dashed over towards the fallen person, preparing to use her healing magic.

Nagei keeled by the boy's side. She knew this boy. His smell was a familiar trait.
"Munei! Get up! Please!" Nagei cries, looking at the fallen boy.
Munei grunts a bit, at least he was alive.

So Nagei knew him? That wasn't too important at the moment. "Are you hurt?" Rei asked, checking Munei's body for any injuries. Hopefully he was just tired or had just woken up here...

(O.o I have no idea.) brokenConan shrugged. "Being a detective is what I am. That's what I was trying to say. It doesn't have to be fun and usually means I have to deal with some unsavory characters." He pointed along the path. "Where are we going anyway?" He wasn't sure what the aim was, other than getting away from the person that was hunting them. Maybe there was no going to, maybe there was just a leaving from.

"I-I can barely move my arm." Munei says, grunting in pain as he sits up. "God.. I couldn't shoot it down."
Nagei helps Munei sit up as Takumi takes a look around the area.

Rei nodded and muttered "Life Goblet," sending a light out to heal Munei. It would probably take another try to heal him completely, but it would at least help.
Zen looked around, but saw nothing but a dull landscape. What had hurt the boy?

broken Lioncl Auransky"I suppose a few see it like that," said Kid, thinking about that for a couple of seconds. "But no, that isn't my main reason. It involves something in my families past." He supposed hinting at it was okay. Conan already knew that his mother was the Phantom Lady, so saying that some history was there wasn't going to harm anything. His gaze turned to Garry. It did seem like they had been walking for some time. ( Dragons Vein? )
