===Before He Knew===

''"It is said the Scient was one of many who tended a great library. In his history, it didn't burn, but simply fell to ruin and neglect. He stayed in the rubble, writing until his dreams led him to become Long in the service of an Hour of Knowledge."''

-'The Pen, Indelible', Dubedat Locke

One day, a scholar decided to put pigment to parchment. Even as their dreams grew strange and a light started to shine from a fiercer place, that scholar did not stop writing. Everything they saw, everything they thought, all streamed into one furious line of ink, charcoal, chalk, and even blood if it was required. He wrote his way into becoming Long with the fervor of his writings.
