Difference between revisions of "The Scrivener's Bones"

On the vessel are [[Bastille]], her mother [[Draulin]], another cousin, [[Australia Smedry|Australia]], and his uncle [[Kazan Smedry|Kaz]]. Bastille has been demoted to squire because of her failure in protecting Alcatraz. Her mother is the new knight sent to protect them. Alcatraz learns via a set of [[Silimatic|Courier's Lenses]] that his Grandpa is at the [[Library of Alexandria]] looking for his [[Attica Smedry|father]]. They are suddenly attacked by an F-16 piloted by the same creature at the airport. Alcatraz breaks the F-16 '''and''' the ''Dragonaut'' but they manage to crash land.

 

 

Unfortunately, the entire team is split up and surrounded by undead [[Curators of Alexandria|Curators]] who do anything possible (and within their rules) to trick a visitor into checking out a book and becoming one of them. Alcatraz does find Bastille, then Kaz joins them because they were lost, and it's pretty easy for him to find lost people with his Talent.

As they wander about looking for Australia, Alcatraz finds a wall that is glowing with power and breaks through to the other side. He finds a sarcophagus and learns from writing on the wall that the Talent of Breaking is the most powerful and dangerous of the Smedry Talents. Inside the sarcophagus is the body of [[Allekatrase|Alcatraz the First]], the first holder of the Breaking Talent. He has gifted a Lens that can only be claimed by a descendant with the Breaking Talent. Alcatraz takes the Lens but can't figure out what it does.

 

 

Bastille and Alcatraz are caught in a pit when Australia shows up. They try to get out, but all attempts are fruitless until Bastille suggests using the Windstormer's Lenses to blast them out. They head for the center of the library, Alcatraz using the Discerner's Lenses to follow the "trail" of older and older books.
