But I must know, friend, if I can trust you. For you see friend, I am trying to track down the criminals at the inn that night, especially The Inquisitor. If you know anything about them…anything at all…I would like very much to listen. But ultimately, there are to sides and it will be so much simpler to pick one. Do you aid those guilty of breaking laws? Or do you help bring them to justice?” I hope he doesn’t press me about finding this place. It will help my reputation not to share that. Sonyr sighed. “Can’t say I’m proud of the things I’ve done, that’s for sure. But, you need to tell me: how did you find this place? It’s called the hidden library for a reason. Only 3 others know.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to call people like me, though? Regardless, I perhaps should wait longer until pressing him on his stance. “Do you have any books on,” his voice dropped to a whisper, “Hemalurgy?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, he just cracks a little smile, then he giggles, then manages a stifled laugh before he falls over because he is laughing so hard. After about 3 minutes of this, he gets up, composes himself, and stares Corbeau in the eyes. "What, you think this isnt hidden for a reason? Of COURSE I do!" then he falls over into yet another laughing fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbeau hurriedly follows Sonyr down, reading some book titles on either side of him. It all seemed so interesting…apparently there were more worlds than just in the Cosmere, such as Earth or… Corbeau didn’t even know what any others were called. He would have to find out. Later. When all this finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What motivates this man? “And what if they came here? What if they came here and burned your books, killed you, destroyed all the knowledge that you keep. This is what would happen if you don’t do something about it. You must try to stop them. You must.” Lord Ruler, I wish I knew his name.

Sonyr stopped compounding his bronze for a moment, his eyes growing tired. “Why are you trying so hard, constable. I live a simple life.
