"I have," answered Starfire. "He has not smiled in all the time since his birth."
She approached the elevator and was allowed in by the guards, who allowed only her and Ktonos in first.
"I am uncontrollable, also known as Adam X. I am red all over, and wanted by all. What am I?" piped a computer voice.
"Synothium ore." answered Starfire, and the lift slowly descended.

"Sounds like a Skylarian Skull Beetle." Ktonos chuckled as teh lift lowered.
Din watched them disappear and lenaed to Charlene.
"Round two?" He whispered in her ear.

"Once the lift returns, yes." replied Charlene.
Once at the bottom, Starfire pressed a button in the lift, and the lift ascended once Ktonos, Starfire and Tearfire had all disembarked.

Ktonos looked around at teh place.
"How much of a chance is there that the info is here?" he asked as he adjusted Tearfire in his arms.
Din watched the lift return and swallowed nervously.

"Very, there is more historical finds in here than any other museum in the Aniverse." Starfire answered.
Charlene led Din into the lift and the computer chimed the code.
"We bob on his wet beetroots." the computer buzzed.
"But I spring on his dry onions." came Charlenes' reply and the lift descended.

Ktonos looked around amazed.
"An entire vualt of history and knowledge?" He asked.
Din squirmed as they went down on the lift.

"The UAC take the "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" slogan too seriously." explained Starfire.
Eventually, the lift gently touched down and the doors slid open.

Ktonos jsut continued staring at the Archive in awe.
Din getnly took Charlene's hand and stepped out.
"Man, I hate being underground with so much rock above my head." He muttered looking around.

The doors to the Archive slid open, and Starfire led Ktonos inside along with Tearfire, ditto to Charlene with Din.
"The knowledge of 1,000 worlds compiled under the one roof," Starfire smirked. "Some examples that have even been forgotten."
Tearfire just yawned in boredom and cuddled up to Ktonos to sleep.

Ktonos looked down at his daughter and adjusted her in his arms. HE looked up and around.
"I wonder if the Ancient Opera of the Wasp Queen of Norath is here?" He muttered aloud.
DIn looked around and then at Starfire and Charlene.
"Your game." HE said.

"We'll see to that in a moment, but right now, we're on a mission." Charlene mumbled, and moved over to one of the workstations and typed into the compter:
NAGAS - SPECIES - HISTORY
After typing it in, the computer calculated the information for a moment until the result came up.

"Well, I guess it'll be clear when we see the book." answered Charlene, looking up.
Starfire has already found it. A bulky old hardback book with fine leather covering and gold lining.
She gently flicked through the pages, briefly looking at other creatures as she went:
Banshee, Were-Cow, Fairies, Nice Politicians and so on.

Ktonos glanced over her shoulder as Starfire flipped through the pages.
"Banshee? Fought one, hated that fight. Fairies? Had two close friends that were Ice Fairies." Were-Cows? No clue. Nice Politician? Yeah right." He muttered as he read.
Din just shook his head in disbelief and waited.

Eventually, Starfire found the page, Nagas.
These semi-snake beings are believed to dwell in a spiritual realm almost parallel to the known Aniverse. It is unknown how they are able to pass into this dimension, or how we are to see their dimension.
The first known sighting of a Naga was by Eteocles, an Astroman General, in 2002 (Earth time: 39 BC). The Naga meant no harm, but was rejected to join the auxiliary military as little was known about his race.
Nagas appear to possess magnificent power over the magical arts, although in some cases, this has been black magic. Their art varies in colour and are known as "Flame Styles". The most common found in reports are Black (Phoenix) and Green (Phoenix).
The Naga sightings became quite common during the Dark Ages, when some villages across Genus and Warren would intergrate with Nagas and make them part of their society. In the village of Dencher on Warren, for example, the Naga by the name of Rang held the position of carpenter.
It has also been stated that some Nagas were willing to teach their powers to eager students, but the Nagas were not seen after some students with their new powers used them to drive the Nagas from the Aniverse. The final recorded Naga in history was Zemp, a Naga hunter, in 3021.
