The high born celestial was harder to handle than Ieridenth had ever anticipated. It was easy to see why he was cast out and put in this place; he was a violent, arrogant, and mouthy being with a propensity to wish death on any who disagreed with him. Ieridenth had to break up so many arguments, so many fights, and now, near death. It was cumbersome to say the least.
Satisfied he had put the issue to rest, Ieridenth went into his room and closed the door behind him. He thumbed through his books, to no avail. What he needed was not there. He closed his eyes and left his body. It was a skill none of the Fallen Fallen knew he had, and he wasn't going to share. It was a bit of a cross between Astral Projection and physically being there.It was very little energy for him to project himself, but if he wanted something...
Ieridenth whipped into the Crawling City, his projection unseen by the denizens who stood making plans and deals. He went into the home of the General, into the library he knew was there. He sought through the tomes at his leisure until stumbling across the leather-bound spine bearing the words, "Celestial Brutes of the Planes of Elysium." Ieridenth looked around his projection. He was alone in the room.
He incanted yet another spell that brought him some measure of physicality, and conjured his bag of invisibility. Deftly he whisked the book off the shelf and into the bag, all while the body sitting far away in the cavern was sweating with concentration. He was losing energy fast, and so Ieridenth worked his projection out of the General's home, flew through the city's moving streets.
Ieridenth let out a loud exhale of breath as the tome slid from the bag into his hands. He smiled, wiping the sweat from his forehead and cracked open the book. 'Dedicated to the brothers and sisters we have lost to the bloodthirsty and self-righteous cravings of the Celestials. May their fall be far and their deaths be painful.' He let out a chuckle and turned to the contents, his eyes finally seeing what he was looking for:
'Chapter 7: Guardinals and Their Uses'
