The mage was in a cage.

His cage was a maze.
Rehtul Orlouge

It was a maze of books.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:22 PM
His cages were pages.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:22 PM
Gilded, crumpled, blackened, or damp, he could not escape his cages.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:23 PM
They were of his own making, after all.

Curiosity was his mission, his life, his fission... I needed a rhyme, back off.

He broke many spines, though only the librarian seemed to mind.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:26 PM
He devoured the contents beyond the spines, that carried only titles and authors.
Rehtul Orlouge

He could feel his curiosity growing, even as he attempted to sate it.

Will there ever be a moment when I'm not lost in the sea of what is unknown? he often wondered as he sat in his cages night after night.

He lived in these cages, these worlds of fantasy, the arcane, of magic, science and history.
Rehtul Orlouge

There was so much left to understand, so much left to learn.
Rehtul Orlouge

The life of a mage, trapped forever in his cage.
Rehtul Orlouge

Perhaps that's why the profession wasn't all the rage.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:32 PM
He felt his eyelids growing heavy.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:32 PM
The time to leave his cage for the comfort of his bed had come.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:33 PM
The flames of the candles died down slowly, the wax down to the quick.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:35 PM
A blast of cold air snuffed out the candles, leaving the library in darkness.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:36 PM
Darkness descended on the prison of books, where silence was dominant.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:36 PM
Until tomorrow, that was, when he'd be back in his cages again.
Rehtul Orlouge
09-07-15, 10:37 PM
These cages were happy, though, as he loved the cages he'd come to inhabit every day.
