A stealthy figure opens the door to the library and enters, taking a quick look about to check she isn't being followed. Closing the door carefully, she begins to open drawers and rummage through them, muttering 'it has to be here somewhere!'. Brushing long strands of blonde hair away from her face, she moves over to the bookcase and begins to pull out books, flicking through them quickly and pushing them onto the table behind her. Dust circles the air around her, more joining the dancing fray as she ripples through pages and pages, moving onto the second bookcase. Suddenly she mutters a soft 'found you!' and opening the piece of paper begins to read:
I am the gleam of an indigo night, Deepest and proudest of colors of light, Kings clamber for me, my hue is their wish, Though my dye is created from humble shellfish.
She stares at it for some time, a somewhat puzzled expression on her face, before stuffing the paper into the neat pocket of her red dress.
A few moment later the door opens and just as she is leaving the room - "Vivienne! I was hoping to catch you before you left -" But she is already gone, calling "a little busy, Professor', behind her.
I wonder what you were up to in here, the Professor enters the room, glancing around; but there isn't a book, or a drawer out of place. Except for the whiff of that familiar perfume, there was no sign of Miss Scarlett having been in the room at all.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king
