Location: Antar Library NPC In-charge: Camille Sweed Time: This happened when all trainees stepped in the Antar Library for the first time. Sidequest: The Missing Book
Livi decided to visit the Antar Library and check out the books available. "I wonder what kind of books they have?" she mused to herself "Well, today's the day that I can finally check it out."
'I really love reading books, I remember the time when we had to deliver and sell some books. I get to have the chance to know firsthand what books are available on the market.' she giggled at the thought 'I could easily buy whatever took my interest.' she sighed. 'Now my collections are going to be covered in dusts. I wonder what Uncle Lyall is doing to them. He's the only relative left that I know now. I hope he's doing fine.' She happily thought back at the times where she was travelling around with her family as they delivered and traded their goods.
Looking at the bright blue sky with a mirthless smile. 'It hurts.' she felt her eyes starting to mist. Trying to hold back the upcoming tears, she tried to push back the depressing thoughts. "I'm here to read books, and not get all depressed." she told herself while shaking her head. She continued walking to the library with less excitement than before.
As she entered the library, she took in the scent. It brought back her excitement and thought 'The smell of books is really amazing.' Looking around with awe, she headed towards the bookshelf where she planned to take out a book. Then she noticed a woman who was in deep thought. She slowly approached her and asked "Excuse me. You seem troubled, are you ok?" Livi asked with worried look.

It has been a few days since they arrived in Antar, met his long time friend (who now happens to be his superior times two), and subsequently, his impromptu grilling by one General Equiste. While it was not one of the best moments of his life, he had started to feel better about the whole ordeal. The letter he received from his family also helped ease his worries, even though some of the content were quite embarrassing to him. As such, he was unable to form a response to them. He had no doubts that they would be quite vexed with him if he doesn't reply soon.
With that in mind, Rylen decided that he should try penning down a response for them today. Especially because the training is about to start and he might not be able to get a chance to write to them in a long while. However, Rylen did not have anything (non-embarrassing) to tell them and this is why he was on his way to the library. He hopes to be able to at least read a few books to write about to his family.
'That should be enough to sate their curiosity about how I spend my spare time here...' He thought as he opened the door to the library, just in time to hear Livi's query towards an unfamiliar woman in her late 20's or maybe early 30's? 'She must be the librarian.' Rylen mused.
He cleared his throat to inform them of his presence. "Good day, ladies." He greeted, remembering the manners that his school hammered into him. "Is there any problem?" He asked as he approached them. "I could help if you want." He proffered with a slight bow.

Camille was a little startled from her deep thought when she sense that she was not alone. She looked up see two figures and judging from the uniforms they're wearing, they're must be the new trainees of the Order.
"Oh thank god, that you're here." She said with relief in her voice. "An important book has been missed placed but I couldn't find it. If the General's get wind of this, I'll be in big trouble."
"Would you both please help me search for it?" She ask with a slight desperation in her voice.

'Oh Rylen's also here. Great timing.' she smiled at Rylen's way.
Livi thought that she might be the librarian since she was worried about a missing book. Seeing the lady's desperate look she thought 'That's quite a problem. With Rylen around, there's no way we can't find the missing book.'
"Sure, with the two of us, we can surely help you find the book. Right, Rylen?" she turned to look at Rylen.

"Oh. A missing book? Sure, I'll help." Rylen said with a small smile, nodding at Livi in acknowledgement. 'It should be easy enough....'
He looked around the room, taking in the hundreds of books in the room in their respective, towering shelves. 'Okay...this might be harder than I thought.' He mused and then turned back to the woman, "what's the book title and the author and where did you last see it, ma'am?" He asked hurriedly. "Do you think it is still in this room or, did someone maybe...borrow it?" He added meaningfully.
'Worth to ask...it must be important enough since she's afraid she'd get in trouble with the Generals if they found out she lost it...' He thought to himself. 'So it might be valuable enough to catch a thief's eye.'
"Also...how big is it and what's its color?" He tacked on for good measure, "it would really help us if you could answer them. We have a lot of books to cover after all." He explained to her, gesturing to the whole room in general.

Camille looked at boy, Rylen he said his name was. He was asking what the book looks like, well we know what a book looks like. She tried to recall the book's features.
"Oh! It is a big red leather bound book, the details are painted in Gold." She explained. "That book is quite important, and the General's will have my head if we can't find it."

Livi worried about the librarian's words. 'It must be a pretty important book if even the Generals would have her head for it.' she thought while looking around 'Where could the big red leather book have gone to?'
Even though Rylen asked some questions regarding the book, she wasn't able to answer. 'She needs to calm down so she can maybe give us a clue where to look.' she thought
"I see, don't worry Miss. We'll definitely help you find it." she reassured the librarian. "The library however is kind of too big to just aimlessly search." while looking around the place "Can you perhaps tell us where you last saw it or anything you can remember about the book?"
Depending on what information she could give the two will definitely affect how soon they can find the book. 'I hope she can give us a clue. The sooner we find it, the better it would be for her as well.' she thought with a worried look on her face
'Though at least Rylen is here with me.' then she turned to Rylen and gave a sweet smile.

Camille tried to calm herself as the young girl ask her where the last time she saw the book. She tried to recall where she last saw it but with so many books she always sorted and recorded everyday it will take a while for her to remember. The she remembered something, she needs to trace back her steps.
"Well I was doing my daily routine check at the library and arrange some books for a special section for you trainees.." She explained, "And I noticed that there was something off with the arrangement of a shelve in the reference section."
"I checked all the books in the section and the only book missing in that shelve is the Craftsman's Book." Camille said to the two trainees. "I am not sure who or what took it. The book is always in that shelve and untouched for a long time since I was assigned here."

"Hm...The Craftsman's Book..." Rylen repeated in order to fully imprint the information in his memory. 'Large, red, leather-bound and with details painted in gold...'
"Alright, that's extremely helpful information." Rylen said with a small smile, "we'll start our search now, ma'am. In the mean time, why don't you check around here just in case?" He suggested, looking at the other unsorted stack of books.
Turning to Livi, Rylen smiled and said, "well, I think I saw the reference section over there the last time we were here." He said pointing towards the back of the large room. "Follow me."

The librarian was able to give out a clue about the book. Livi thought of possibilities where the book may have been. Then Rylen suggested to check out the reference section which snapped her out from her thoughts.
"Okay." while giving a slight nod. Both of them went to the reference section and looked around. "Checking the reference section might give us a another clue."
Livi checked the shelves looking for a big red book. "She said it should be here. Who could have taken interest on such a book that has been untouched for a long time?" she mumbled to herself.
"How about on your side Rylen? Did you find the book or anything notable?" she asked while continuing on checking the books one by one.

Rylen heard Livi follow him into the Reference section. It was actually near the place where he first met Livi and that weird guy, Kiran. He wonders if she noticed this fact as she started shuffling around, checking the books on another shelf.
"The Craftsman's Book...The Craftsman's Book..." Rylen muttered as he slowly checked the spines of the books lined up in the bookshelf nearest him. He knew that the librarian already checked but he wanted to double check this section first before moving to another section. There might be a chance that she just skipped over it or something.
"How about on your side Rylen? Did you find the book or anything notable?" He heard Livi ask. He stood up from his position on the floor while shaking his head and then realized that she probably couldn't see him, "nope. Nothing here!" He answered and took a step back from the shelf. He looked around with a small frown on his face. 'Yep...definitely harder than I thought...' He sighed mentally as he move to another shelf.

'Where could that book have gone to?' she has checked most of the shelves and found no signs of the book. 'I think this is where Rylen, Kiran and I first met.' she didn't think of it as anything special and just continued checking.
Livi stood up and sighed. She scanned the area and looked at where Rylen is. 'Is there really no other clue?' she was getting anxious. At this rate, they may never find the book. 'No! It has to be here somewhere!'
Then her eyes saw big red leather book so she went over to the book. 'Is that?' She checked the book only to find that it is not what they were looking for. She sighed and put it back carefully.
After checking the books on her end, she went over to Rylen and said "It seems the book isn't here. Maybe it got placed in a different section. We should try searching in the next section."
Suddenly she remembered something 'The books were scattered all over. Didn't I put them back in place? Let's just try our luck in the next section.'

Rylen nodded towards Livi and walked towards the next shelf. However, he faltered as he saw the label of the section.
'Romance...' Rylen silently read. "...would anyone put a reference book into the romance section though...?" He muttered but resumed his search anyway.
"Craftsman's Book...Craftsman's Book..." He chanted persistently under his breath as gaudy book titles jumped at him. Dark Needs In Dark Nights. The Vampire's Willing Victim. Unbound Pleasure. The Huntsman's Savage Passion.
Rylen could only deadpan. While he loved reading, romance has never been his genre. He occasionally read fantasy and mystery books but his favorite has always been academic books where he could learn new things.
Shaking his head, Rylen was about to turn away to another shelf when something caught his eye. At the far end of the row he was checking was a red spine with the letters written in gold paint. His eyes widened and he walked briskly towards it and checked the title, hoping that it was the real thing.
The Craftsman's Book.
"I found it!" He exclaimed in relief. He took it out of the shelf and looked at it closely. "Who would put this into the romance section though?" Rylen wondered out loud as he turned towards his companion. It's red and the details seem fancy with the cursive letters painted in gold, still...judging from the real romance titles he just read, this book's title just doesn't cut it.

They both went to the next section and only then did Livi realize that it was actually the Romance Section. She loved reading all kinds of books and was curious about the books available in the section. While looking for the book, she also took note of some titles of the book that caught her interest. 'They really have lots of books. I didn't expect to find romance ones though.'
She heard Rylen say "I found it!", which made her turn to where he was and walked over. Seeing the book in his hand, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Although regarding his question about who placed the book there puzzled Livi. "Yes, I mean a craftman's book is clearly no romance. It must have..." Then Livi suddenly remembered their first meeting.
'We met by the Reference section and the books were scattered after they left. I did put them back in the shelves but... Could it be that "I" placed it there?' she was shocked at the thought.
Livi was dumbfounded about the realization. She didn't look at the books properly at that time and must have placed them in the next section without knowing.
"Uh great. You found it. We should bring it over to her." she said with a thin smile. She couldn't believe that she might be the cause of this problem.
'Well at least we found it. I should really be more careful next time.' she sighed and composed herself. The librarian wouldn't need to worry anymore which is a good thing.

Rylen looked up from the book he was holding to Livi. Something in the tone of her voice seemed off. Upon seeing her tight smile, his eyebrow raised slightly. She didn't look too happy for some reason.
"Yeah...but, you don't look well. Something on your mind?" He asked curiously. 'Better get it all out to avoid trouble later.' He thought to himself. 'Hmm...if I remember correctly, Livi was the last one to leave that time...' Then it clicked.
"Oh." Rylen voiced out in realization, "you...did you clean up after Kiran the last time we were here?" He asked, though he already had a feeling that it was the case. Well, the book ended up just being misplaced. It was no harm done...aside from the worry it cause Camille that is. 'I'm sure Miss Librarian will understand...' Rylen told himself.
"I should have cleaned up before leaving last time." He told her, putting a hand on the back of his neck sheepishly. "Sorry for suddenly leaving like that." He said with an apologetic smile. "Now come on, we should get back to the librarian and give this to her." At this, he waved the book slightly and started walking back to the front of the room where they left the librarian.

'It seems Rylen also thinks of it that way.' she tried forcing her usual smile to keep him from worrying but it doesn't seem to work. It was a good thing that she actually went to the library this time and was able to help the librarian. She followed Rylen as they went back to her.
"Y-yes..." she answered meekly "...I did. I-it's okay. I think you guys were tired at that time. It couldn't be helped." she smiled sheepishly.
'There's no use in feeling bad for myself. I just got to accept it!' she mentally scolded herself. It was already done, there's only the consequences left to face. She had to compose herself, since it seemed to have made Rylen a bit guilty.
"Well, at least we found it." she told Rylen with her usual smile. "However, you did suddenly leave like that. You better make up for it." she said with a playful intention to lessen the slight tension building up.

Rylen laughed at her words. "Alright. I'll make up for it." He told her agreeably, a smile forming on his face. He might have made a new friend in this place already.
Then before he knew it, they had already reached the librarian. He brought the book up and placed it gently on the counter.
"Here you go miss." Rylen said, pushing the book towards the librarian. "Er, we found the book in another section. It might have been our fault it was misplaced actually...we apologize for the trouble it caused you." He bowed his head for emphasis.

"Oh thank you Ms. Reinheld and Mr. Cotterill!" Camille thanked them enthusiastically. She was both happy and relieved that the book has been found before the General's will ever know that it was missing. Looking at the book and see that it is still in good condition.
She didn't asked on where did they found it because she was still feeling euphoric that the book found and her neck is safe. She looked at the to trainees and gave them her best smile.
"Again thank you the help you two." She thank them again. "I wouldn't have found it this quick without you."
And with that, Livi and Rylen left Camille to continue on her work on rearranging the books for the special section as they do their own business at the other side of the library, Livi checking out some books and Rylen thinking of a response for letter for his family.
