(Wait... what?!? You have leather armor??? Crazy! Maybe put a dead body in there to help make it look perfect xD, you can have my brother if you want *is joking*)

"If I could control people I'd make the world a better place! I could fix everything that is wrong with society! Make world so much better," She trailed off as she realized she was rambling, going silent for a moment, "I mean Azrail has a point, it's unfair to control people like that."

"Of course," Glacier said with a smile leading them to the library, "All I know about the gate is that it is real and it can be opened. I'm not sure how it works though, it sounds confusing."
He went quiet as he entered the library, which was huge! He led them to the older section, where the books they needed where.
"Oh, it's that book," He pointed to a book which was in a person's hand.
The person had mossy green hair, which was short and poofy. They looked like they where made of wood. They where wearing old tattered clothes, though the holes had leaves sowed over them. They had dark brown eyes and they seemed to be... talking to themselves?

(Dad's making some cool antiqued crimson red dragon armor for himself and trying to get me to make my own as well but I have no creative juices on what I want to make. xD)

"Didn't the Queen or King say something about someone having green hair? No, it was pink." Austyn whispers rather loudly. "Is there a duplicate of the book?"
Azrail shrugs and walks up to the person, going to ask if they could borrow the book, but Austyn beat him to it. Azrail shrugs again and backs off.
"Hello! I'm Austyn. I was wondering if you were currently using the book or if we can borrow it for a moment? We're in the middle of a reaserch project." Austyn beams at the person.

Riley smiles, gold eyes twinkling. He sits upright on his branch, going back to childishly kicking his feet. "Everyone has different opinions on what is a good society and what the problems are. Sometimes, that's what makes a bad guy. It's when you think you're playing the hero and saving people and making things better, but in the end, it appears you've become just another villain for a new rising hero... Of course, I have no doubt that you will not become this."

(*Gasps* That sounds so cool and fun! I wish my parents would do that with me! You could give yourself a pair of flappers and say your half dragon.... I'm joking xD, or am I?)

The person looked up, "Sir Barks told not to give book, so my book now. Please no fight Barks, Barks only being good boy. Don't want to be punished, please don't punish. But what if they do? I'm sure they won't. No one allowed to hurt Barks unless told to. Barks can beat them if they try to hurt. They won't hurt though," He said holding the book close to himself still talking to himself under his breathe.
"It's the only copy," Glacier said with a sigh.

"Maybe. I don't think it always makes you a bad guy, nor do I plan to be a villain. I wish there was just a button to fix society. Look press it and boom, it's all fixed. Of course it's never that easy and it never will be. I'd rather be known as a hero that was bad at their job then a villain. But I guess we must do what we must do," She shrugged, smiling a bit as she watched him, not minding his childish.

Austyn gasps gleefully. "YOU'RE SIR BARKS A LOT?!" He instantly silences when Azrail hushes him before returning to a loud whisper. "Blackout said that you were like me. I'd like to get to know you further. It'll only be a few minutes if you let us borrow the book, and you can watch us as we view it. You can hold it even, but we just want to get to know a few things for our reaserch project. So then you won't be giving it to us at all! We won't punish you. That would be rude for friends to do to each other.... May I give you a hug, though? Blackout ran away before I could give him a proper friendly hug to help brighten his day." He opens his arms to give Barks a hug if they allowed him to.

"A fixing life button that actually works. Show me where that is and I won't bother you ever again for as long as I live, that is a promis." Riley chuckles. "Oh, or a 'no more mistakes' button. Or something."
(I feel like we've had this conversation about villains and heroes before? Somehow? Is that weird?)

Barks jumped, making a small surprised bark noise, "Your loud, very loud. Must be quiet, loud hurt plants. No one wants to hurt plants. Maybe like you, but not loud. I quiet, always quiet. Only loud when have to be. Why? Want me to be loud? No. Won't be loud. Can't give me book, can't give you book ever. We also not friends, you will hurt me like my friends did. Friends bad. Book mine. No one else but mine. Showing not allowed either. No hugs, hugs bad, hugs mean," He muttered more words as he backed away, looking nervous, he literally couldn't stop talking, muttering words really lowly, double guessing himself.

"Well I did hear a story a long time ago. Apparantly there is a thing in this gate that allows you to fix the world. I'm not sure how it works or if it even exists. If it does, I would love to try I guess," He said with a smile, "I guess that what they might want Will for, they did talk about the gates."
(I don't remember talking about this but it deeply amuses me... really. Maybe we did and I can't remember... maybe Azrail and Lazi when they talked about life xD? It's not weird, just interesting)

Austyn pouts, his arms flopping back to their place at his sides. "I like hugs. And friends can't be bad. Then they wouldn't be friends. What about family then? Is family good?"
Azrail blocks Barks exit, shaking his head. 'We need the book, Barks. I promise we will protect you from those hurting you if you help us.' He signs, hoping that he would be able to understand and maybe agree.

"Huh." Riley looks up at the sky and leans against the trunk. "I guess you want the gates to open then? Even if there's sight chaos?"

"Only family Blackout and Pinky! No one else. Can't be family, you try steal book and stop plan. We not villains, you are. But what if we are, what if plan is bad? No, plan isn't bad, it's good," He argued with himself, he yelped when Azrail blocked him, "No no no. Won't help. No help. No book, my book only. Only for me. Can't protect and if you could should have done long time ago. Can't help me at all. Guards will come and kill me. I deserve it. But I did nothing wrong. I did wrong thing, am villain."

"Maybe," She shrugged, "I prefer not a lot of chaos neither do I want to open the gate, but I guess I would if we had to. I don't know."

"I have a feeling that our group has ended up in trouble already." Riley hops off the tree, rolling to break his fall. Sticking a landing could be potentially dangerous. "Wanna meet up with them? See where they are now?" (and this is why Riley needs to stick with the group, so he can just wrestle the book from Barks.)

"We will protect you from the guards, and if we had known you before, trust me, Azrail would have protected you. Or me. I feel like I'm signing myself up to something when I say that, though. How are we the villains? We're trying to do what is right and stop the gates from opening and chaos reigning?" Austyn says. Azrail keeps Barks from escaping, not ever hurting him or anyone else.

(Aye aye, shall do... now!)

"They probably are, knowing them. We better meet up with them," She grabbed Riley's hand in a non romantic way and running towards the library, "They are probably at the library, that's where I would go to find out about the gates."

"Can't protect. Lies. Always lies. No truth ever comes from your kind. They say they want to help us but then hurt us," Barks said looking upset, small vines starting to peak between the library floor, growing bigger with every second, "Who is hero and villain? No difference. Both good and bad. Who is right or wrong? There is no difference."

"Haha, how'd you know?" Riley mutters to Zio. "So, what trouble you in now, Austyn?"
"Me? Um, we're trying to get the book but this guy is determined to keep it. and don't hurt him." Austyn relays. Riley nods and walks up to Barks.
"I'm sorry but it appears we need that book." Riley says, and tried to take it from Bark, ready to use force if he had to.
Azrail watched the vines and tried to find a way to get them to disappear.
