“What about Sybella, where had she gone off to, I thought you said both of you were together this morning and went in search for me in the mines, she didn't come back with you” Belitrus asked now fiddling with his fingers after such a stressful work at the active mine site
“Oh, she said she works at the clinic, sorry medicine man shop or something of that nature, that she was going to check how the place was fairing and do some work too before she come here again” Elvira was now sitting down beside Belitrus as they discussed
“And yeah, before I forget, she was talking about something about going somewhere all of us together, if I can remember she said something about durid's place?” Elvira said
“Yeah that's true, Durid is our new friend who Sybella met a while ago, sha it's kind of complicated but I promise you you would like him a lot and what he has to show you, we can all go to where he stays when Sybella gets here, it's her who knows the way there” Belitrus said, now staring into Elvira's eyes in a deep way, feeling so emotional of being far apart for such a long time
“Why haven't you been back here all these while, I have missed you a lot, and I always waited for you in the place we agreed to see eachother whenever you come into the mine” Belitrus said, “i really miss us being together”
“Awww, I really miss you too Belitrus” Elvira replied, feeling a lot nostalgic
“So how have things been inside the mine?” Elvira asked, "Hope you haven't been harassed again by one of the mine guards because of our friendship" she looked at him with a bit of a sorrowful eyes, like her friendship with him must have been a constant burden on him being in the mine and been watched by mine guards having knowledge that he, just a Savager was a friend to the great land of Alzhamera councillor daughter
“Things have been Normal I think, there have been a shortage of food like 8 times since you last left, but that's better than most times I guess, the mine guards are still as mean as always and the death tolls within the mine increases by the minute I guess” Belitrus responded
“i see” Elvira said, “The mine would always be the same untill they remove these gigantic mine gate wall restricting you guys from going into the unlimited lands and wealth that awaits just anyone”
“its alright, we are all already used to it ” Belitrus replied, having spent his whole life here, it's now more like home than a b*****e, tho a very dangerous home at that but he may not know or have an idea of how bad since he haven't experienced anything else than this his whole life
"What do you think about the library and books?" They both suddenly heard the voice From outside the cell patch as Sybella came into the cell patch smiling after making her question known to the unsuspecting audience
“Sybella!, My new friend” Elvira said as she stands up to welcome her into the cell patch
“Hey Sybella” Belitrus made his own greeting, “where have you been, why didn't you come with Elvira back here when you had searched for me but not seen me” he asked
“Yeah, didn't your friend over here told you the reason why?” Sybella asked, not expecting an answer “had to reach the medicine be shop so I could prepare some things before making my way into the tunnels in search for some special herbs, would have been here since otherwise”
“Ok, it's great we are all here now” said Belitrus as he started putting things in place inside his cell patch as he prepares to leave
“So we are off to durid's secret Library now I guess” Sybella said with a sting of joy in her voice, “Have you told her about the place, you said she talks a lot about books” she drilled Belitrus with questions, "how do you think Durid would be like after seeing Elvira who is from the lands outside the mine
“i don't know Bella, when we get there then we would be able to know what ever” he responded, a bit tired of talking now
‘Bella?’ Elvira had the thought in her head, ‘So be already had a nickname for her’, and she felt a bit of jealousy unconsciously
After that they all headed out 9f the cell patch, all prepared, but Elvira mind was still in the conversation that they both had before leaving the cell patch, “So you said something about durid's library what did you mean by that, do you know what a library is?” Elvira asked, was surprised when she had mentioned it before during their conversation
Had thought it was a word that must have a different meaning with that of the one she knew all too well, for a library was one of the last things you would expect in the savage world under the earth
“Library, like filled with different books?” Sybella said in confidence as Durid had taken his time to explain what he meant by the word library, books and other related terms
“Oh wow” Elvira was truly Surprised as they continued walking towards the tunnel path they were in, “So, someone, a savage built a library inside the mine here?” she asked, “How was the person able to get his or her hands on books or even the knowledge of even what a library was, to be able to build one”
“Feom the information I have when outside the mine, books are the last thing ever the Red dynasty would be willing to send into the mine, but now you talk about a library?, That would be absolutely impossible I think” Elvira said, being unable to get her head around the concept of there being a library built or lieing around somewhere mysterious inside the mine
Sybella grinning widely was looking directly at Elvira face to be able to try to tell what she may be feeling at this moment
“Dont worry , when we get there you would be able to tell us what those things are”
Now halfway to where they were going to, they noticed a small crowd gathered by one side of the tunnel, way out of their way, so they did not have to go through the crowd nor interfere without cause
