Chapter 37
Arra finished weaving her cloth roll. It was a pretty sky blue color, the same as the flowers she used to dye the thread. Now she just needed to sew it into sheets for their bed, and pillowcases. She could then collect more wool from that second herd of Elven sheep she found to make some blankets for the crib and baby cloths. She was thinking for the girls she would make a deep purple color with gold colored embroidery of a dragon on it. She also wanted to make some shirts and pants for her mate. His current ones were still a bit tattered from whatever battle he had fought recently. In fact he no longer was wearing a shirt at all. He just wore an old black cape instead of a shirt. She glanced over at the cloak now hanging on the wall. Acnologia left it behind when he went to go pick through the remainder of the ruins. She could tell it was rather tattered and had seen better days. She smiled as she thought. She could just make him a new one along with some shirts she knew there were a few black sheep in the second herd that would be perfect for him. His favorite color was black after all. She could embroider the hem and stitch it to match his wings when he transformed. Ideas poured into her head. She smiled thinking such things would surprise him and immediately got to work.
Later that evening….
Acnologia walked into the house carrying some pieces of something and a few more pictures. He popped his head into the room Arra was spinning in. large piles of thread balls sprawled on the floor. A large loom was in the corner of the room. He set the bundles down and snuck up behind her. She was so lost in what she was making she hadn't noticed him come in. Crossing his arms around her shoulders he kissed her on the cheek earning a smile and a kiss on the lips when she turned towards him.
"Hey there stranger, what did you drag in today?" she said teasingly.
"I found some more pictures for you, and I found something I don't know if it's useful or not."
"Well I'll take a look then." She said putting down her finished thread.
As she looked over the object pieces he brought back she determined what he had found. Looking up at him she smiled again.
"This is part of a magical information codex. It has access to the information lacrama networks of all the three nations. This was commonly how the Elven stored and shared information between countries. By the look of it I might be able to get it working again. If one of the nations have theirs's in working order I might be able to recover the old records."
"What happens if they don't have one working?"
"Then this is basically just junk, at least till we set up a second codex in a location with books or other information it can transmit and catalog."
"What sort of building was this part of then?"
"It was common for a research facility or library, of course not everyone had access to it though. Restrictions were placed on some Codex's to prevent national secrets from getting out or stolen."
"Makes since."
Arra quickly put it together finding only three pieces were missing. Since they weren't there she could only do so much, but luckily they were easy to make and replace. Finished with the Codex she moved on to the pictures. She remembered them. She settled down with her mate on their bed and told him their story. After telling him she smirked impishly and swung her leg over top of him so she straddled him. She was in the mood to play again, and he wasn't getting out of it.
