A Day in the Life..

Warm was the twilight glow that settled over Thebestys. People of every shape and size walked it's streets, occupied it's innumerable sprawling streets and populated it, inside the structures and out, with their thoughts.

The three great pyramids triangulated around the city were aglow in the day's parting luster; around the Chronomantion, thousands were gathered, most in silent reverence and prayer, some in chants or dances, all of them in prayer, no matter what form it was taking.

As always, before the Great Library, scholars and pilgrims alike were engaging in their deep, searching debates, discussions and reflections. Few would actually enter the Great Library; most were simply here to do their thinking, knowledge-seeking and contemplating in it's enlightened presence.

Some few would enter it; would pay the always-unique price of truth; and might never depart again. Always a mystery it was, as to just why so few who braved entry into the Library saw fit thereafter to ever leave it, though most of the more learned understood it in unspoken fashions.

The third great pyramid; the House of Thoth; the Great Temple; was ever the most peopled of the three. To say that it was a temple in the classical fashion would be partially true, for indeed the central plaza was just that- a holy sanctum of reverence, where the greatest of Thoth's priests would share their words and wisdom. All in all, however, the Great Temple was simply one of the multiverse's greatest schools, it's hundreds of chambers used not for cloistered meditation, but by teachers and students.

A great deal of seeming irreverence took place in that temple on a regular basis, at least as often as not. The love for learning lived there, hand in hand with the love for teaching, and Thoth himself was even occasionaly known to share a story, or even sit in on a lecture, in that holy place.

Not that he more than rarely made it apparent that it was him, but for the one reflecting on all this, it was just a plainly known fact, and it brought a grin to Nai's face.
