Skulking About [OPEN]
Thom was running out of time.
The book the elf had given him was starting to give him ideas, and he was sure Aibghalien's expertise would prove valuable, but the problem was that one simply didn't go around telling people you'd raised a man from the dead. Thom had to think of some kind of cover story that would explain what was happening with his magic as precisely as the truth would.
Or he had to find an alternative. He wasn't sure which one he was looking for, but he made a curious figure in his long black cloak striding through the strange streets of the City. He kept the hood pulled up around his face, to hide his unnatural pallor. Even as much knowledge as he had gathered on the ship hadn't prepared him for the vast expanse of the City. Every few steps was a symbol he thought must be mystical or esoteric, but turned out to be something else entirely.
Thom couldn't rest until he found an answer.
