Venger's Books
Summary:Venger having talked it over with Denora has decided not to be so rough on Sheila. However, he has ulterior motives. Some comforts will be given to her but at what price?
Author's Notes: The idea of the Realm resting on four pillars comes from Requiem. For those of us not heavily into the Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon, Requiem is the unproduced finale of the show. The one where the young ones get home...maybe.

Venger's Books
It was then that the books started to come
I laid there for the next five days reading
still chained naked to the bed
He came to see me several times
but I don't want to think about that
Instead what I think about are the books
They are from Venger's own Library
The servants bring them to me
I laid there and read
It was here that I was given this journal
and here that I started to write
Everything in it so far I have written lying here
The books are all I think about
That and the tea my servants brings me
I must be drinking at least seven cups of it a day
I like it better than wine even
It really is quite relaxing
I really didn't like tea that much before
It makes me sleepy
and unable to focus at times
if I drink too much
Denora says that the tea is called arcania
It is dark but tastes like oranges
They bring it to me almost constantly
and it is good
A month passed without me even noticing it
Eventually Master said that I would no longer be chained
and be allowed to wear clothes again
I told him that I would not think of escape again
I could tell he didn't believe me
but the again I didn't really believe me either
Then he summoned me to dinner
and had me again
but that story I will tell later
Since Lord Venger unchained me
I have spent hours and hours sitting
and reading on my balcony
At night I read in front of the hearth
It gives me something to do
and keeps my mind busy
Lord Venger put just one stipulation on the books
That whatever I read I was not to discuss
with Denora or the other servants
He did say that I may discuss them with him though
but so far I haven't
They are fascinating books
Not just because of their content
or that they are large and bound in leather
They are magical
When he gave them to me Master told me about them
Lord Venger said he had placed spells on his books
So they would never decay
Some of them are thousands and thousand of years old
They are not written in English
When I first look at the pages
It is words in a language I do not know
but when I start to read a spell translates for me
The stories they tell of the Realm
Not just of history
But of Legends
Of times when good defied evil
and times when good won
times when evil was the conqueror
Of golden ages and bad times
Of great kings and beautiful queens
Noble warriors and great battles
Mighty demons and terrible monsters
And Wizards both good and evil
They have made me laugh
and they have made me cry
and they have made me angry
I have learned much from them
One of the books contained a history of Dungeon Master
It seems that our Dungeon Master was the fifth
I have read much about him
From what the books say Venger is right
Dungeon Master is not simply good
Nor is Venger simply evil
Merely opposites in a way
Similar to stone and water
Fire and Ice
Dungeon Master brought us here
He arranged it on purpose
He wanted us here to act as a balance
The one volume even speaks of our arrival
I know this sounds really insane
but I think this book is writing itself
Past that one other thing seems very odd
No matter however many times I try to read about the four other Dungeon Masters
It seems that I cannot
My mind just drifts away from it
Why is that?
The best book so far contains not legend or magic
but as close to science as I have ever heard in the Realm
It is old and tattered but still readable
with many loose pages
It seems to be the oldest of all
It says the Realm rests on four pillars
One in the North named
One in the South named
One to the East named
And One to the West named
I know that this is odd too, but after I wrote the names of the pillars
The ink disappeared from the pages as soon as I was done writing them
I tried to write them again but again they disappeared
Thinking on it I decided that it was some kind of magic
That would not allow these name to be recorded
I thought about asking Lord Venger about it
but then I decided not to
Then I decided that maybe I should
He would be displeased if he ever found out that I was ever less than honest
Besides he said that I am allowed to discuss the books with him
