The Archangel known as Vulcanus sat in an old libray. He pulled out a large, musty old book and flopped it on the table. Dust clouded up in the air and seemed to have small little dust "mites" dance in the dim light in the room.
He thumbed through it. For what reason though?
He read through the names in the book. ALl in alphabetical order. A... b... you know the drill.
However, he could find nothing.
"Dammit!" He growled. He slammed the old book shut.

Popo entered the library just in time to hear the grumblings of the Archangel. He wondered what had frustrated the old man this time. Vulcanus had always been an old grouch of an angel, but it was his deliciously evil sentiment that had drawn Popo to him. How many years had it been now that he had served under the angel? Upon returning from his dark journey to train and hone his demonic essence, Popo had learned that if he latched onto someone in power, and helped them to pursue their own goals; that he too, one day, would be able to have all of the pieces fall together in his own plan. A wild grin crept over the Treant's wicked mouth. Popo approached the Archangel slowly. He widened his grin to reveal his jagged teeth,
"What exactly is it that you are reading?"
Popo stared at Vulcanus intently. His blood red eyes sunk back into the dark openings in his trunk and glowed brightly.

Vulcanus looked up at Popo. Seeing this beast lighten his mood up. He put a hand on Popo's head. He gave a vile smirk along with his stern eyes.
"Ah Popo..." He said in his tone, "How was your training?" However, when the monster asked what he was reading, he shoved the book over to Popo, some dust still floating off from it.
"Just an old book. Finding names of some that I was told to look for. Go ahead, feel free to look through it." He gave a stern look still.

Popo extended his claws and took the dusty old book from the angel. Seems like an ordinary book from the outside Popo thought to himself. He wondered why Vulcanus would be reading such a thing. Lately he had begun to notice that the archangel had been acting rather strange. Popo wondered if something big was about to happen in the realms. He began to nonchalantly flip through the book as he started to speak.
"Well, the training went well enough I'd say, although I can't really go into it. It's a whole different sort of thing from what you would understand. I mean, after all you are just an angel. The demonic rituals and trainings are very different than how you would..."
Popo stopped mid-sentence. Something caught his eye. He stared at the blank page of the dusty old book as it began to fill with writing. What is happening here? The writing that appeared was none that he could comprehend. Maybe Celestian? It might explain why Vulcanus was reading it in the first place. He handed the book back to the archangel.
"Look what is happening here! Can you make any sense of this?"

Vulcanus gave a slight nod, seeing his vassal's training going well. However, he was handed the old book back. The words did appear to be Celestian! With that, like Popo said, they were filling the page even! Creepy! The Archangel began to read the words as they appeared. To a non-Celestain, this would be like watching a cheesy horror flick with a cliche ending. But this wasn't that!
"That I can..." He said in his cold tone. He cleared his throat and began to read. He thumbed through it even.
"It talks about the gap between humans, demons and angels. Don't seem like a war or anything... Anything is possible. What befuddles me more is why they suddenly appeared. You got a good eye..." He said to Popo as he patted the monster's head.

Popo recoiled in disgust. He hated to be touched. In his mind, this angel was not worthy to touch him. Hissing, Popo bared shook his branched claws and bared his fangs at the angel. His eyes shown a bright red as his trunk shuttered furiously.
"I've told you before Vulcanus, do not lay hands upon me. Your angelic touch burns my demonic skin..."
His bark had blackened where Vulcanus had touched him. Popo had told the Archangel before, and it was particularly infuriating that he had neglected to remember. Obviously, it was not something of importance to him. Well, he would let it slide this time... Besides, he needed to put up with Vulcanus, and see the angel's goals to their completion. Popo calmed his appearance; he did not want to be seen as possibly traitorous, as his true intentions needed to stay under wraps.
"Well Vulcanus, what does it mean? What is the text saying? Is it of any concern at all? If so, what course of action need we take?
The treant was growing impatient with the angel. He wanted to know the significance of this strange development. The writing had piqued his curiousity...

A loud clatter shook the room as a large suit of aromor charged into the room through the door way.
"Finnaly I have gained entrance. Now I must simply locate the archangel..." it shouted running right past the halway which they two were siting.
"Perserver I must!" it shouted, only to charge headlong into a table it had failed to notice. It fliped over the top, and the legs fell out from under the table. The armor and table fell to the ground with a clatter.

Before Vulcanus could speak, there was a loud clatter that could be heard below. Popo looked over to Vulcanus. He could see that the noise had stirred the archangel, and Popo was worried about what might be in store for the two. This was Celestia. Popo had hoped that security might have been tighter. No matter,[/color] Popo thought to himself. Whatever this was, Popo had confidence that he could handle it.
Popo calmly began to speak,
"Vulcanus... What do you think that we should do? We can either face this head on, or we can do nothing and wait until it comes into contact with us first."
Popo was eager to see how Vulcanus would handle the situation. He had in fact, never seen Vulcanus make any sort of leadership decision, and Popo was anxious to see what sort of tactics the archangel would employ. Would he charge onto the offensive? Or would he calmly sit back as whatever it was burst into the room? Whatever the outcome, Popo felt that he would gain vital knowledge as to the strategies employed by this powerful celestian.

"Oh..."
Mutered the armor, resuming its "standing" position. It floated around slightly... trying to get a bering on where it was. So far, it seemed a sif it was the only one here. It picked up it wepon which it had droped during it tumble.
"I wonder if somethings happening, I haven't seen an angel all day..."
It thought aloud, floating noisily down a row of books. It was abvious were it had moved, due to its constant creaking joints.
"With any luck, they won't know I broke that table there. I'd best distance myself."

The archangel looked up at his loyal woody vassal and gave a smirk. He heard the clash-bang as well. Hoping it wasn't anyone breaking in or anything. Lets hope it wasn't any out-wordly spy. He quickly clentched his fist and grated his teeth. He tried to take his mind off of it, but It seemed to call for him. Oh for hells, that Archangel really wanted to tell Popo his "sinfully" plan from what the book was saying.
"Hang on, Popo..." He said. He gave a glance towards Popo.
"Lets find out what that crash was. Whatever it was... we could..."
