The world is a big place, bigger then people give credit for. For their entire world is mostly their city limits and never beyond for they are typically afraid to leave familiar lands. For the seventeen year old walking down the street under the radiating sun in the crisp blue sky he only see the sky as the limit and a world filled with mysterious secrets. So he often transverse the states to explore and find unique books. Such is the objective of his destination as he head into a archaic part of town in search of a rumored bookstore claiming to have very rare texts. With such a rumor it would have been suprising if he had not check it out. For if there any sign of rare books Rasiel will be the first one in line.
His black sandals click against the pavement as he walk into a very old shopping center and from the distance he could see an fairly small storefront with dated books in the window with a open sign above them. A smile of glee split Rasiel face as he skipped towards the bookstore, his cerulean tunic fluttering in the warm breeze. Momentarily Rasiel was in front of the glass door in which he pressed open, a ding sounded and he could already smell the old book smell in the air. With a happy sigh he walked in and saw that the store was relevantly prim and tidy, with numerous bookshelves and the occasional books in glass cases. To his left he could see a frail old man behind the counter reading a book, the owner look up to acknowledge his customer and gave Rasiel a friendly smile. "Welcome little one, it's a pleasent sight for these tired eyes to see younglings in here instead of fiddling with their phones." The old man chuckled before returning his focus to his book, "Take your time in looking around, a new batch of books came in this morning so there might be some that fits your fancy." Rasiel gave a sheepish grin and thanks before going up to the nearest shelf to begin browsing its contents.

Miley had heard rumors that a book she was looking for to add to her collection had found its way out of the shadows and some how in a small bookstore in the human realm, which was just perfect for her.
She made her way over in her usual casual clothes of the leather jacket, white shirt black skinny jeans and black boots.Though since she planned on reading many books while she was there she wore her narrow framed glasses with a black border.
She didn't want to have her eyes dry out from reading books for hours upon hours on end. She had her tail under her white shirt to avoid attention, she didn't want people just staring or trying to get her attention when she would be trying to read. Not too long after her departure she arrived at the city and made her way into the store. She walked over to the counter and smiled softly.
”Hello sir, I heard you have some new books in did you happen to have any that came in that were not yet fully translated to standard english? Or any the appeared to be foreign in origin? I was lead to believe that you may have the book I’ve been looking for, for my own personal collection.” She asked kindly and respectfully.

The world worn man meekly look up and gave a moment to ponder on the question before replying, "Ah yes I believe to have something of that description. The new modern pagan movement Ásatrú donated a few texts that they claim were not able to translate. They should be in the collector section, they seemed rare as it matched no language that I know of so I put it there. It's in the let corner at the back of the store." As the aged man spoke the young bookworm was already deep inside the bookstore hauling several books in his arms. Turning a corner he face the back wall of the bookstore crammed with books. Skimming the bookshelves for any new titles he head over to the collector corner to see if anything interesting was here. As he stood before the shelf full of old books he took a whiff of it's amazing scent and took notice of an strange smell. From the fourth shelf from the bottom he saw a rather thick leather tome wedged between other books. He has seen many leather books in his age but this leather seem suspiciously like human skin. Morbid curiosity curl around him as he set down his books while looking at the strange tome. Licking his lips and trace the tome spine with his fingers and as if on cue a slight chill ran down his spine, to a normal person they would walk away from something screaming danger but to Eden it was alluring. Sliding the hefty tome off the bookshelf he held it with two hands and stared at the cover of the tome that showed esoteric markings that he does not recognized. His heart was strongly pounding in his chest and despite all the mental warning bells he sent a pulse of electrostatic neurons down his arm and up to his hands............

Miley smiled perfect they were here after all! ”Wonderful, thank you sir.” She started toward it but then paused looking back to him ”You placed them correctly by the way, I commend your skilled eye.”
She said kindly before continuing on. She walked over and paused seeing the book right way, it was the correct one alright. She took another step forward to see a boy coming over and eyeing it and… licking his lips…? Children were weird… She walked over and pat his shoulder lightly before reading the name fluently and perfectly as she looked from the book to him.
”From the look on your face I’d say you don’t know hat that book is… which you may want to keep that way for your own good… it can be hazardous to humans if used incorrectly….” She said simply. ”That there is the last book I need to finish my own personal collection.”
She said looking back to the book ”If you were planning on buying it then I would be willing to find something to trade you for it since I’ve been looking for years now for that last issue so I could say I had the whole set...” She said calmly and casually ”So are you looking or buying…?” She would get this book… she refused to leave until she had it so hopefully this boy would be reasonable.
