The boy fidgeted. “I…” “I don’t normally do this,” His Holiness murmured. “But I am in desperate need of a trustworthy archivist. Can you read?” “Yes. Yes! Of course I can!” the boy shouted excitedly. “I love books!” “Indeed… I surmised by the bookshelf over there,” Relias pointed. “It is truly an impressive collection.” Vernie stifled a snicker as I looked at the books, their covers pristine. Some were still even in brown paper wrapping. “Someone… someone just dropped them off. I don’t know who,” the boy concluded lamely. “Ah yes, anonymous donation,” Relias said, nodding absently. “Truly a blessing.” More like a recent acquisition now that the Periphery was pretty much free for the taking. “Uh… why don’t I just go get that shield?” the boy said, already headed towards the back door.
