Physical Description: Royal is a pale boy with dark bags under his bluish eyes, an unfortunate result of too many days spent staring at books indoors by candlelight. He's thin, of slightly below average height, and has white hair.
Clothes and Equipment: Roy carries around an enchanted parasol at all times, which floats above him and shields him from the sunlight. He also has a sword, a gift from his cousin Roxanne. His pockets are always filled with an unreasonable amount of chocolate, and he usually has some sort of cake or other baked goods on his person.

 The grand library of the academy is massive, and actually contains more books than is physically possible. The librarians are trained in minor dimensional magic, and are skilled at looking into the spaces between spaces and pulling out exactly the book the patron is looking for. It's full of comfy chairs and fireplaces. It's said that there are over 40,000 books, and more appear every day. |

Roy walks into the library, and heads towards the chair he'd sat in before. It's a very comfy chair. Unfortunately, it's occupied by a pair of very busy (but not at all studious) students. "Oh dear..." Roy sighs and turns towards Ashani. "This library's pretty cool. I hear there's more books on the shelves than can actually fit on the shelves. There's some magic going on here." |

"Oh yes. I've spent hours in here. I know a few secrets already," she said with the slightest smile. "There's even places you can't see," she said as she slowly ascended a lavishly spiraling staircase that led to another upper section.

"Really? That sounds difficult to read, then."
Roy follows her up.
"What's upstairs? I haven't gone up there yet...mostly stayed down on the first floor. Do you know they have all the volumes of Vinnie the Swift? I can't wait for the next one to come out."

"There's many levels of upstairs... and downstairs."
There were no stairs leading down from the main floor, so it would be unclear at first what she meant. Around the main chamber, which was several stories high, wove spiral staircases and walkways, allowing students access to the many subjects that required such extensive space.
"Just other subjects," she said nonchalantly, though seemed to know where she was going.

Roy follows along. It's not like he has anything better to do.
"Other subjects, huh? Wow...I never realized there were so many different subjects..."
He looks up at the spiral staircase, reaching high up into the sky. Surely the building isn't that tall? But it must be, there's at least twenty stories in here.
"Hey, have you been here before? How do you know how to find what you're looking for?"

"Yes, like I said I've spent hours in here before... I had an entire evening to explore it once. It was fascinating." She didn't mention where she was going or how she knew where it was, provided she even knew at all. But in a matter of minutes they'd arrive at a small outcropping of one of the upper levels, which extended into a little, dimly lit study and relax area. On the floor was a large glyph.  "Ah yes. This is the place." |

Roy looks at the circle on the floor in surprise. He can't recognize any of the writing on it.
"What's this? You're not going to summon anything, are you? Because that's dangerous, if you're not experienced."
He glances around.
"Still, this is a nice little spot. Looks comfy."

"It's a nice place to relax. Remember this place, for when you gain some skill in interdimensional effects, you can leverage power off this glyph and it will send you somewhere else... somewhere solitary, where you can meditate or practice."

"Oh...that's alright, then."
Roy looks at the glyph on the floor.
"Hmm...maybe I should learn interdimensional magic, then. It sounds useful."
He wanders over to a nearby bookshelf and looks through it.
"Geez, these are all super high-level books. Thoughts on the Effect of the Glorious Fifteen on Interdimensional Transportation of Water. That's super specific."
Roy knows what the glorious fifteen are, of course. It's a collection of stars that are seen in the sky in the summer, usually on Tuesdays.

"Did you know when we look up into the sky, even when we see the Glorious Fifteen on a Tuesday night, we're probably not seeing the entire picture of what's up there? It seems like emptiness in such a vast space...but there might be something up there concealing the truth."
Before he could ask her to clarify what she meant, she asked him, "have you ever been to Medan?"

"Medan?"
Roy chuckles. Medan is where he got turned into a vampire.
"Yeah, I used to live near there...and I've been there a few times before. Spent quite a bit of time there, actually. Why do you ask?"
He decides not to mention that he spends quite a bit of time looking up into the night sky. He goes out at night a lot, after all. It's relaxing to not have to carry an umbrella.

"I traveled through there once, looking for certain herbs. After passing through the marshlands I came across a beautiful meadow in the moonlight, right alongside the beach. Here, when you looked up at the sky, you saw the most spectacular sight... stars, celestial bodies, and colors that you never see elsewhere. I think there, that night, I saw the truth," she said. "I'm hoping to go back some day. I wonder if there's some explanation for that in one of the books in this section..." She then began looking through the titles of the books herself. |

"Hmm..."
Roy nods. It makes sense.
"You should ask the librarians for help. They know how to find everything. I've seen them reach between two books that were right next to each other and pull out a book that was thicker than the other two combined. I dunno how they do it."
He thinks for a moment. Back in Medan, he had never really looked up at the sky. He always went to bed early.

"Oh, you can do that yourself! With a little practice, of course."
She stuck her arm between two books.
"There are three of them here."
Yet she didn't take any out. It was as though her hand had just disappeared between two books in a space that practically did not exist.
"Just remember to focus or... there's no telling what might happen."

"Eh..."
Roy stares at her hand. It's clearly between the two books...but there isn't any space between the books. He can see it, plain as day, but there's no way he would be able to envision it in his mind. Dimensional magic is a weird thing.
"Perhaps another day. I'd rather not have my hand get lost in the void..."
He shivers. Can vampires regrow hands? He'd rather not find out.

She pulled her hand from the bookshelf.
"It might just be an illusion. But I think there's probably more to it."
She looked at the glyph, and then back up to Royal. He seemed to carry a sword with him wherever he went. Ashani had never been one for keeping her accessories and equipment out and visible.
"Why do you have that sword with you all the time?"

"Huh?"
Roy glances down at his sword. He never really uses it, not since he was taught swordsmanship from that weird deer thing.
"Oh, I dunno...force of habit, I guess. I used to be on the road a lot, and got used to carrying it. Anyway, it's a gift from my cousin. I don't want to lose it."
He shifts the sword on his belt, suddenly self-conscious.
"Why do you ask? Is it not allowed?"

"Just curious is all. What did you do before the academy?"
It made her wonder as to his occupation, though perhaps it was just a family heirloom.

Roy shrugs.
"Before this academy, I was a student at the academy of magic in Aaedan. And before that, I was...broke. I dunno, I just walked around a lot. I tried to be an adventurer like my cousin, but adventuring isn't for me. Too scary."
He grins unconsciously, and Ashani might notice his sharp pointed fangs.
"There's too many monsters, too many bandits, too many spooky things. I'd rather stay indoors."
