Saul Stormbringer

Saul had heard of Dalhousie University from a few places, but up until this moment he had not thought to go and find out exactly what it was. He didn't know what a "University" was, let alone what it was for and why if was still standing. He had met the dog hyprid Liliana just two days ago and the buzz was just wearing off from his mind. It had been an exciting meeting and had fueled Saul's need for knowledge, academic and vocational. The word university sounded smart, so the young male had set off early that morning. He had bathed and began his run in Dahlia de Mai. It hadnt taken him long to reach the neutral lands. He recognised these lands straight away from his previous visit here. He wondered briefly if the coyote Aquila was still here. He had been a strange creature, but amiable enough. Maybe Saul would find him and try to teach him some more english. A smile crept over the young male's muzzle at the thought of the coyote and his broken english. Shaking a soft head, Saul moved forward through the lands, green eyes searching for the green building described to him.

It really didnt take long for Saul to find the building. It was huge, with a load of other buildings clustered around it. He stood in front of the building, neck craning to see the sky over the top. Another smile crept over his muzzle as he walked forward, head still faced upward as though he was trying to keep ever detail of this huge structure in his mind. It was easy for Saul to slip into the building, the doors had long since been left open and one was just slightly ajar. He slipped quielty through and was assaulted by the grandeur of the inside. He tried hard not to get distracted and padded through the halls with his head to the floor. He would look at the walls and ceilings later- he was searching. He'd been told of things known as books and Saul was curious as to what these were. He had been told that he would find these books in a room called a 'library' of which Saul was equally curious. All these names and such were confusing the poor boy, but he was determined in his mission.

He pushed his nose into each door he came to, glancing around before exciting again. He had been given a brief description of what a book looked like, and nothing so far had fitted that description. It wasnt until he pushed open the massive double doors at the end of this corridor untl his searching was rewarded. Although plants had tried to inflitrate the room it was still magnificent and wonderous to him. Shelves lined the walls and created ailes throughout the whole room, some with full rows of books and others with the odd cover laying on its side. It was obvious that others took from the library without giving them back, but there was still thousands of books here. He ran forward, shifting easily into his optime form from one step to the next. Although he wasn't entirely comfortable with this form yet, he would have to use it. He picked up a book, sniffing if gently before settling on the floor and opening it somewhere in the middle. Now to learn to read!
