Not knowing what else to do with himself, Colt started exploring the library. He had always been obsessed with history given his memory loss and such a treasure trove of rare texts represented quite an opportunity. So without a word to anyone else, he dove in, not knowing what he would find.

Adam looked around the library, his eyes wide and a huge grin plastered on his face as he began to walk towards multiple book shelves, picking up random books that caught his eyes. "This is amazing," he said to himself as he started checking each of the books he had grabbed.

Kara and Milan looked at one another, the man whispering in her ear. Nodding, she made to follow Colt through as he began to peruse. As far as they could tell, he was the most dangerous. She made no reservations about letting him know she was following; the footsteps from her metal claws echoing on the marble floor behind him.

Aya tapped her communicator, reaching everyone on the team. "Alright, let's not forget that we're here for a mission. Colt, Adam, Marissa - start searching up anything you can that deals with Harbingers. Diana says that the only way you earn knowledge here is through searching for it yourself," then, she looked around. "Metz and Robin, search up information about The Veil..."

She put her hands in her pocket. "Make sure that you start bring the books back to a table where we can start compiling information. And be thorough."

"I was gonna search for...something else, but... sure." Metzli replied in a quiet voice. She vanished within the deeper rooms of the building in search of information.

Colt just smiled at the girl's presence. "If you're going to follow me around, you could at least help me find the information I'm looking for." He said without looking up from the bookshelf he was perusing. "I'm apparently looking for information on 'Harbingers' so if you could help point me in the right direction?"

Aya tapped her communicator, finding Metzli on a private channel. "I know you're here for something private, Metz. Handle your business," she said. She had only said that in front of the group so as to keep whatever the younger Riftwalker wanted private. "I'll take over your shift. Aya out."

Turning to Jasper, she spoke. "You... might want to follow her. Make sure she's okay," her tone was a bit defeated. She turned, walking down a hallway. It would be best to find something akin to an indexing system for the books.

Kara crossed her arms. "We got an index program running on the holographic screens," she pointed a sharp-clawed thumb to one of them behind her. "Look there and search it up."

Colt nodded, going over to the screen and doing just that. Soon a number of books came up. "Gracias." He said gratefully before going off to gather the texts that had appeared.

Jasper looked at Marquess who merely nodded as a yes. "Search for your information along the way as well," he said knowingly. Jasper nodded before following after Metzli. Marquess then turned towards Aya. "I assume that the Harbringers are that man that you guys fought in a rift the they day. The one that cannot be hurt by solid things. If so then we're here for the same reason. However I ask that you my search for information on the riftborn put of respect for the fact that never has this place been used as a way to gain the upper hand against Null," Marquess said to her, once again wearing that emotionless mask. However hos eyes were serious and honest.

Adam searched through the index as well and followed Colt's lead in beignning to search for information on the Harbringers. He figured that the girl he had fought against before was related to them, his mind going back to the fight as he began to look through the books. "I wonder just what I'll fight."

Metzli, though getting the feeling she was being watched, ignored it and started towards the computer with the index program. She searched for information on blood curses, and many results popped up. A few of them intrigued her; she clicked on one of them, labeled "The Helios Curse".

Jasper kept an eye on Metz, however he also spent his own time in the index. He searched through riftborn files, or rather more specifically the facts of the lack of flesh. What he was looking for-a cute to what they lacked. A way to be normal at least by appearance.

"Don't give me a reason to," she didn't look at Marquess, only opting to walk off. "If your people ever attack mine again without provocation, I'll be the first person voting to have you all exterminated."

From behind Marquess, an elderly male voice spoke. "My. What have you done now, Marquess?" The man behind him was donned in an almost white robe, with faint traces of black on it. The insignia he had on his robes were different than the others. "Seems you cannot go too long without causing an issue these days."

--

"Don't try anything funny, you got me?" Milan said, having walked after Adam. "You guys are still under some scrutiny."

Adam noticed Milan following him, an amused expression on his face as he turned to the man and smiled. "Don't worry, I don't even know the reason why we came anyways...fully at least."

"Nothing. She chooses to remain blind to the truths and present those feelings over others. Thus until she allows herself to look past those feelings, we will never be able to get along," he answered the man.

The man, whose name was Maximilian, stepped forward. "Marquess, I've told you this before - don't spout your view of a subject until you understand it fully," his tone was fatherly. Rightfully so, considering he had taught many of the students learning at the Children of Orion. "Your views are still a one-way mirror."

He stood near the boy, who was a bit taller than him. "I'm glad to see you're still yourself."

--

Milan raised an eyebrow. "What? Your leadership didn't tell you anything?"

"Nope," Adam shook his head, looking slightly annoyed. "But if it was in such a hurry and she even asked people that she apparently dislikes to help then it must be important right?"

Milan simply shrugged. "I guess. Asking the enemy for help of any kind is a red flag in and of itself... I'm guessing your leader was that girl. What was her name? Ada Nackey?"

Metzli began reading the article, which had quite a few grammatical errors. Probably a result of mistranslation.

It was said a long time ago, many gods stood upon the earth. One such was Helios, whom drove a chariot across the sky every day, setting in the east. Humankind had come to know this as the sun. A mortal, so young and beautiful as they came, caught his eye. However, his godly father forbade him from seeing her. Hyperion had warned Helios not to near her, for mortals were deemed inferior. However, being rebellious, Helios often chatted and walked with the mortal.

When Hyperion found this out, he was consumed in a fit of rage. The Titan killed the mortal, and banished Helios to the Island of Cyprus, where Helios' sister resided. Feeling her brother's grief, Selene made a deal with him. In the exchange of an eye for an eye, she would revive his love and let him leave. The sun god was ecstatic, and left in his sun chariot.

After hearing about their deal, Hyperion soon learned that there was no keeping his son away from this mortal. As punishment, he banished Selene to Tartarus and laid a curse on the mortal's bloodline. It is said that the mortal's descendants carry heterochromatic eyes; an eye of the moon, and an eye of the sun - silver and gold in color. The curse still lives on to this day, or so legend says.

Metzli frowned, exiting the webpage. Brow furrowed, she began looking at the other sources.

"Ah sorry that came out wrong. I know the whys and I don't mean its just her. However it doesn't matter because currently she is keeping too closed off to be able to see the good. She asked out of necessity, however she is too easily pushed. We're at a crossroads between two sides and unless both are open to see the good and bad in the other, then we will not move forward. I don't like her. However a friend of mine has fallen for her and he seems to have good judgement of others. Thus even though I don't like her, I won't say she's bad since she has not given me reason to. And I trust my friend. However she is nothing more than a pawn right now, so easy to push forward in a single direction, only diagonal to take out an opponent. However she has potential to be a queen."

"Adam. One of the boys that came with her. He's currently becoming quite the knight. I can see him as a good pathway to peace. However that other one with the guns, I have lost any good impression for him. He pointed a gun at his own friend. A powerful one from what I've heard. I cannot forgive so easily someone who would point at their own friend a weapon that could kill them with one hit."

"Jasper and that other girl are another peace pathway. They are forming a bond. The true constrictions come from our leaders, but if we did not have them commanding us to do things to each other then that is when we could truly reach peace. Hopefully my friend can start that, the one that will never be Null, or Riftborn, but a connection. A rook so to say," he explained, looking at a book on chess.

"Yep she is," Adam nodded his head, turning away from the book and looking at Milan. "Aya Nascire," he corrected. "Actually since you're here...what exactly is this place? and what are the children of Orion?" he asked curiously, no ill will in his voice.
