Eiro filled in the blanks of multiple books that he was trying to repair, or rather rewrite, in order to rember what they offered him. The more he did so, the closer the mories seed to co, but they were always still a bit out of reach.
The Demon figured that he would only be able to truly rember a mory after fully rewriting the book it connected to. The issue with that was that Eiro was unable to fully complete any of the books that he had laying in front of him.
He might be able to guess what happened there and fill the gaps by concluding what happened from the text around it, but for so reason Eiro thought that was a bad idea. As if that wasn't what he was supposed to do with these books.
He continued walking around the library for a while, trying to find more scraps to finally finish recovering at least a couple of mories, but to no avail. Eiro sat down and leaned against the wall with a deep sigh. Tiredness was dragging his body down, although Eiro didn't beco exhausted all that quickly.
After opening his eyes again to reveal he was still in the cave after all, Eiro slowly pushed himself off the ground, wobbling around exhaustedly.
"Careful there, child. ntal fatigue is also sothing to be wary of." Lognir warned Eiro, who turned toward him with a slight nod. He was right. Eiro had to be careful. Well, at least his Exhaustion Resistance skill leveled up once, which was pretty nice.
But seeing how he was feeling this tired despite that skill's existence must an that his body was close to simply shutting down at this point. He did go through quite a lot of tough things lately that were coursing through his mind constantly. It made sense for him to be exhausted like this every once in a while.
The Demon made his way to a different part of the cave together with Lognir, now that today's practices were over, and Eiro slowly approached Lugo. He fell forward and buried his face in the Stag's fur as it let out a loud bellow.
"Just let stay like this for a while, alright? I'm tired." Eiro said as he let out a deep sigh that just ward up Lugo's fur around the area that Eiro pressed his face into. After letting out a loud huff, Lugo still stepped away a little bit anyway, but instead of trying to get away from Eiro when he was like this, the Stag laid down on the grown and caught Eiro as he staggered forward and dropped down, ready to fall asleep any mont now.
Eiro grumbled quietly as he shifted his body around to lean against Lugo's body properly, and slowly closed his eyes as he drifted off into sleep.
As he slept, Eiro started to dream. As he normally did. Eiro was able to rember all of the dreams that he had, although most of them were just scenes of the day replaying within his mind again and again. Smaller details would be a bit different, of course. For example, he might be twice as tall as normal, or the things he was carrying with him were suddenly a different color.
Seldomly was it that everything was the exact sa as reality, although Eiro would still be unable to realize he was in a dream. But now, that was different.
Everything was the exact sa as how he rembered it to be. It was eerily similar, at least as he was in the mont. Maybe that realization and subtle eeriness was what made Eiro realize that he was in a dream at the mont.
Eiro stood in the middle of the cave, with everything frozen as if ti had stopped. It seed like this mory was from the middle of a short conversation he had with Lognir today. As the Demon moved his hands around, it was as if his body was shifting through the air rather than really moving, leaving behind so form of weird mist as he was at it.
Was this a Lucid Dream? Why did he experience this now of all tis? Maybe it was because experiencing that Library in his mind in such a way was similar to what a Lucid Dream was like..?
But if that was the case, then Eiro should be able to do whatever he wanted here. With a wave of his hand, the Demon found that the cave around him changed. The floor was replaced by wood and the walls beca bookshelves. Lognir disappeared, and Eiro was once more back in the Library.
It was the exact sa one as he had been visiting all day in his mind. "So I can fix myself in my sleep, huh..?" Eiro thought to himself. He wasn't sure if he was really capable of smiling right now, but if he was, then he did. He stepped through the room as this place beca more and more lifelike by the second, ceasing to be like a dream and instead being more like reality. Just like he had been experiencing all day today.
The books were in the sa state as Eiro left them, and he had the exact scraps of paper left over that he was working with before.
With a smile on his face, Eiro walked through this room, realizing what this ant. Before, Eiro was unable to make ti in his mind move faster, or else he might have been able to figure everything out in one day, but now that he was technically dreaming everything was different.
A dream that seed to span thousands of years within one's mind usually took only a fraction of a second. Now that Eiro was this aware of what was going on, this effect would probably not be happening to the sa extent as that, but he still should be able to work for longer than he actually slept. And hopefully, he would still recover his exhaustion due to his sleep.
Eiro kept searching the space for more scraps of paper, although he was unable to really find anything more than he had found today. Maybe they were hidden in places other than underneath the floorboards as well.
Either way, maybe what Eiro should try to do for now was the 'easy part', which was to transcribe all the books of mories that he didn't rember all too well. And that was what he did. All night, in his dreams, he kept transcribing the mories from the dirtied and 'broken' books onto new ones. Still, he was unable to complete any of them because there were simply pieces missing, but nonetheless, he made quite a bit of progress.
And when Eiro finally woke up, while he was still a little more exhausted than he usually would be when waking up, Eiro was relatively well-rested.
He stood up and stretched, hearing his bones crack from stiffening up during his sleep. It was an unpleasant noise, but a weirdly satisfying sensation. To feel his stiff body slowly loosen up like this.
"Alright then..." Eiro muttered as he looked around. The others seed to be sleeping for now. Eiro went to sleep rather early, so he woke up early as well. Dawn was not even there yet, but he was already wide awake.
Eiro took a deep breath as he figured he should do sothing nice for the others. He knew what they ate, so Eiro chose that he should go out and hunt for a while, getting food for everyone.
They were dragons, so they ate quite a bit, but at the sa ti they chose this location in consideration of that as well. There were plenty of wild beasts around here, as well as monstrous beasts of considerable size. Judging from the bones that were scattered around the 'trash room' of this cave, they particularly liked a certain monster that was derived from Boars in so form.
It was a couple tis larger than a regular boar, however, and had particularly thick skin if Eiro rembered correctly. Their tusks were a popular material for adventurers to decorate their armors or weapons with, so he had seen them quite a lot.
Not to ntion that their scent was incredibly strong as well, so it was pretty easy for Eiro to find them. The only one that was awake at the mont beside him was Bavet, who didn't need much sleep in the first place, and Eiro let him know that he would return soon with sothing to eat, so that the sli could pass this ssage on to the others if they woke up while Eiro was off.
Eiro stepped out of the cave and spread out his wings, jumping from the edge of the cliff in front of him. The first thing he had to do was to actually find the boar-like monsters in question. They should be roaming around here in quite a quantity, if he rembered correctly. He saw a whole group of them together on his way here, and the town at the foot of this mountain sold many things that were made from the materials taken from that monster.
It didn't take long until Eiro was able to lay eyes on a good specin. Fat and strong, larger than most others. It seed to be eating the best out of the group it was 'leading'.
With a smile on his face, Eiro stopped flapping his wings and simply dropped down onto this boar, gathering and compressing air on his palm as he fell. And just as Eiro was about to hit the ground, he pushed the bullet of air through the boar's head to cleanly kill it while spreading out his wings to stop his own fall.
The large boar fell to the ground and bits of rock were slung into the air due to the wind pressure Eiro created to stop his fall like he did. And of course, Eiro quickly waved his hand around and shot those bits of rock into the foreheads of the other boars that were gathered around, imdiately securing four boars that would end up making good food for so Dragons, a hungry Demon, a Sli, and an Elder Dwarf.
And so, the first thing that Eiro did was to quickly pull out a small gem that he had in his treasury to make this whole thing easier. It was the Gravity Magic stone, that he would use to make the boars' corpses a lot lighter to be able to carry them all the way.. Of course, Eiro simply used Nature Magics and roots to hold them all together as if he was using rope, before jumping into the air and pulling these mountains of at up to the peak of the mountain.
