Dimyr winced as the Tech-mage by the name of Janice as it said on her name tag, pricked his fingers with a tiny needle. Smiling, she said, "Well, your pain receptors are working, that's good. Roll your wrist every now and then to avoid joint lock. You're good to go. If you have any concerns or questions you can ask me now."

"Will I be able to cru-," Dimyr started.

"No," she interrupted, " You still have the same strength before you had your right arm lobbed off. Any other questions?"

"Do you think the Great library is-is real?" Dimyr stuttered.

"I don't know, legend says that a greater being lives within the confines of the mountain collecting books and other pieces of knowledge. I wonder what for? " Janice questioned. Dimyr spied a familiar looking robot peek into the room out of the corner of his eye.

"I know you're there Rhys."

"Aw darn, you got me," Rhys laughed walking in. "I like the arm."

"Thanks," Dimyr said, smiling and hopping off the examination table. He looked down at his arm, the tin and copper colors reflected off the light. //I gotta check in with Dad,// Dimyr instantly thought. "C'mon Rhys, we are going to see Dad," Dimyr said and in one swift motion picked Rhys up and put him into his backpack. Sprinting down the hall, he nearly knocked over a doctor. "Sorry!" he said bursting out the door. He ran down the alley way, past Old Frank's Crab Shack, past the bank and finally through the King St. Bazaar. Reaching his door he knocked and waited for someone to open the door. After about a minute of waiting, the door swung open. A hand grabbed him, pulled him in and wrapped around his waist squeezing until he could barely breathe. It all happened so fast he had become a little dizzy because of it.

"Where have you been!? We have been worried sick! We thought you were dead! We heard news of an Esperian trade ship being ransacked and taken," Sonya said, almost crying. Dimyr turned his head and look at his father whose mouth was gaping open. Father walked over and Dimyr reached out his arms and hugged him. He hugged back but this time he didn't let go, he kept squeezing and squeezing until Dimyr's back cracked.

"Ah, thanks Dad," Dimyr coughed. " Where is Arphos?"

"He's at work," Sonya and Dad both said at the same time.

"Work?! Doing what!?" Dimyr exclaimed. " Annoying everyone?"

"No, he is part of a salvage team. He takes parts from no longer in use Esperian ships and brings them to the forge." Dad said.

" Father, do you believe that the Great Library is real?" Dimyr asked. Father looked around the room and then sighed.

" Yes. It is located in the north inside a region called Ringence. The journey is dangerous and time consuming." Dad sighed as he read the note.

" I'll be departing soon. I'm sorry for not checking in so early, Dad and Sonya if I don't come back, you are the best parents I could ever ask for.. I love you" Dimyr choked out, a single tear rolled down his cheek and fell onto the floor. Sonya and Dad both hug him before he departs to the docks. Walking down the docks thoughts Raced through Dimyrs head, //what if he was late? What if he never made it.. What if....bah what am I kidding Esperian ships are all over the world.// He will be safe.

" ALL ABOARD! Departing for Ringence!" A dock hand yelled ringing a bell. Walking up to the dock hand Dimyr placed a small bag of Dimo's into his palm. " Make room make room!"

Dimyr looked at a group of children eyeing his back pack, Smiling he reached back and opened the flap. Rhys poked his head out of the flap and eyed the children.

" Dimyr, what ever you do. Do //Not// let me out of this back pack" Rhys said. Dimyr could feel him shaking inside the satchel. Dimyr smirked and threw the straps off of his shoulders, placed it on the ground and gently kicked it towards the group of childern. " You ass!" Rhys hollered out of inside the bag.

After 6 days of sea-sickening journey they arrived in Ringence. Dimyr asked around town for a way up to the library, until he found a man willing to lead him. After the pain staking journey Dimyr could see the library. With a great sigh of relief he glady thanked the lama and walked towards great structure.

" This is amazing." He smiled before opening a door into an unknown room.
