Strange dreams

[Therak]

((OOC: Just a very short story thrown up after todays little spirit trial))

A dying fire cast it's faint illumination around the room, showing the outline of a large bed with a figure twisting and tossing.
Finally lying still, Therak opened his eyes and ran a hand across his face with a groan.
He looked around the room, needing a moment to remember where he was before recognizing his own home. The wind was howling outside his window, and the chill was seeping into the room. In spite of the small fire his breath was misting as he slid his feet over the edge of the bed, finding his woolen indoor boots and slipping down into them. His left hand found his cane, leaned against his bedside table and with it supporting him he pushed himself to his feet, clenching his teeth at the painful protests of his left knee.
Therak limped over to the fireplace and added another couple of logs to the fire, making it flare up and light up the room with its soft glow.
With the fire fed, he finally put on a thick woolen robe to keep his warmth and opened the door to his office, he walked over to make sure the door into the rest of the house was locked before immediately walking over to his bookshelf.
"That was one seriously screwed up dream." He muttered to himself as he pulled out a book named 'Mating Rituals of the Mana Wyrm' and reached in behind it to depress
a hidden button in the back of the shelf.
The bookshelf soundlessly opened inwards, letting Therak into his archive.
He ran his hand across the backs of the books, reading the names as he moved down the line. Devilstep Krogon, Feraleye Kozgugore, Feralheart Morgeth, Sharptongue Sadok, pulling out that one before stopping at 'Steelheart Rhonya' and bringing them out to his desk.
Sitting down, he brought out ink and a quill and scratched a few notes in the margins of the well filled books, ending with a questionmark. Before leaving the books out to dry, before returning to his room and getting properly dressed.
He was awake already... He might aswell begin to prepare todays classes. He brought out a paper and began to write down instructions in a cipher. The youngsters would have to work hard to finish todays tasks...

Detective Therak is on the case! Nice to see him in (semi-)action, or rather, hear from him! Much intrigue.

Nice to see Therak is still alive and kicking somewhere in the world. Nice little story! ^^
