[Well, this is a well decorated page. There's just a few dots at first, before the page is suddenly assaulted by scribbles. Then...

A flower! A little crudely drawn, it doesn't look like the artist in question is exactly Van Gogh here. The flower is followed by a few trees, what appears to be a bird, a couple interlocking circles and a couple large, wobbly drawn letters.]

[There's a little bit of humming on the end, and the sound of shuffling around as the pages are flipped back and forth]

Funny little book. Who does it belong to anyway? I wonder what these words say...

[A little face is drawn, smiling cheerfully out of the page]

Well, if someone left it, I guess I can keep it.

Hm... I guess that's kind of true. When you read a book, it's a whole new world in there.

I'm not very good with letters right now though.

It is. And books allow you to explore places and events you could never experience in person.

You're doing fairly well, for a beginning reader. I would certainly encourage you to continue learning. Reading and writing are very valuable skills.

And Brendan said there is a book that can turn darkness into light, and I have to be able to read if I want to read that book.

It's going to be the best book ever!

[The phrasing of that makes Ondorus wonder whether it's a metaphor. In which case...it could be any number of things, but it must possess a profound power.]

Who is Brendan?

Brendan is my best friend! He's one of the brothers from Kells, and he's going to make the best book ever! He showed me some of his drawings, they're really nice.

He creates books?

[neato]

Bookbinding is a difficult art to master. I imagine he must be a remarkable person to commit himself to it.

And what of you? You are...?

Yeah! He's going to make the best book ever!

He's making all the pictures in it too. And all the words. He's really good at it. I'll show it to you when he's done, you'll see!

My name is Aisling. I watch the forest near Kells and make sure no one steals anything from it.

I would very much like to meet him.

["Watch the forest"? What an interesting phrase to use...]

It is an honor to meet you, Aisling. I am Ondorus, a newcomer to Luceti like yourself.
