Valion stirred from his prayer. He had been there since dawn, praying for forgiveness, as he did every week, hoping that he would be forgiven for his sins. After a few more minutes Valion stood up, made the sign of the cross and left. He made his way back to his room, nodding at his few friends as they went past. After a few minutes he made it back to his room, as he closed the door he heard the sounds of a women and something else go past. He lay down on his bed, and picked up the book on his bedside table named The Holy right of passage for the young angel, and picked up where he had left off. After a few minutes, another sound occurred, this time it sounded like a much bigger animal.

“Better go check it out” Valion muttered to himself, grabbing his sword from its resting place and heading back out the door. If he had heard it a week earlier when had arrived, he would have dismissed it, but since then he had learned that noises usually resulted in trouble, and it could interfere with his reading.

More crashes, this time louder, and they lead Valion to the massive library. In the entrance was a warrior, obviously unconscious, and a few feet away was the animal that had been making the sound, a rhino demon, attacking an another warrior, who was not even phased by the attack. He simply moved out of the way, and the rhino crashed straight into a bookshelf.

“Do you need any help?” Valion asked the man.

“Not really, but your welcome to help” he replied.
