Something must be done

"What is this about Klarion?" I asked annoyed by his very presence
"The most interesting thing showed up months ago," he replied with a cheeky smile and tone that matched
I absentmindedly flipped through the pages of one of my tomes waiting for him to continue, "And?" I asked seeing as he wasn't going to talk
"It was a tome," he continued
I drew my eyes from the tome I was reading, what kind of tome could get even Klarion interested?
"Well, what was it?" I asked dryly
"Libriomancy," he said calmly but, I could hear the anger in his tone
I stood from my seat hastily, "where is it?!" I shouted
"Gone, someone took it," he growled bringing out a screen
Turning it on I saw two separate videos, one in a museum and the other of the same vampire from the museum fighting Superman.
"He is already decently proficient," I whispered
"Yes, and the magic placed by the last one is still protecting him," Klarion replied
The shroud, it shields all from our sight.
"Then we must resort to mundane means," I replied
"My exact thoughts!" he exclaimed with a Cheshire grin
"It even shields him from you, he is a creature of chaos?" I asked frowning slightly
I could see the anger return full force, "yes even me,"
He left shortly after, a long breath escaped my lips.
Libriomancy is and will always be one of the most powerful and annoying branches of magic, it can only be learned from reading the book the original Libriomancer wrote.
Depending on the magical power one wields they can even fight the gods and change the world by reading on passage of a book. From there it only gets more dangerous and powerful especially when they learn to not read from books and pull from memory.
If Klarion or I got a hold of the book then we would be the most powerful in the world beings in the world, maybe even the universe.
Our magical power and the knowledge we hold would make us even stronger than the original Libriomancer.
I can still remember that bastard laughing in my face as he used my own tales against me. The smug grin on his face as he effortlessly combated my magic.
Then Kalrion came and we were winning, we were about to kill him when he pulled out a single book.
The Bible.

I just got done meeting my sister, she came by to talk. It was rather short we didn't argue nor did we hug it out.
She wanted to know how I could throw an innocent person in jail, how I could condemn Walter to a life in prison. And how I convinced him to go along with it.
It was a tough conversation to have but, it was needed, I think she needed to realize that I'm not the same brother she used to have.
I just can't be that same person, it's not me.
Anyways, after she left I started to comb through my emails once more, it is rather stressful sometimes being the CEO of a major company.
I had to decline some invitations out to places, is going to be tough focusing on everything at once and I don't need to attend events unless they are of the utmost importance.
Oliver recently started his cash for guns event and I am throwing a food kitchen event in the glades.
There might not have been many deaths but, the property damage was something no one could expect even me and I planted the bombs. Luckily the damage is bad but not as bad as it would have been if Merlyn got his way.
Dembe and I drove down to the glades, the tents and trucks are already there serving food and beverages to the residents.
As he and I walked out many eyes were drawn to us, we both seamlessly made our way to the serving area and began to serve the food.
"Have some more,"
"Here,"
"Got any kids?"
"Here have another scoop,"
"The tacos are good,"
"Here is a bottle of water,"
"Stay safe,"
As the day drew its closing breath welcoming the night sky Dembe and I both made our way back home.
We chatted merrily as we drove back. Funnily enough, it just hit me today that I changed the future.
Oliver didn't go to the island and my company is still perfectly fine, it's amazing what so many small actions can lead to.
Stepping out of the car Dembe and I walked back inside, "sir, another call from Washington,"
I scoffed, these people up at Washington Dc need to stop trying to make me go over there for a conference, "ignore them," I replied
Once back inside Dembe and I started to spar, he's getting better at reacting to unpredictable moves.
"How's your family?" I asked blocking an elbow while at the same time stepping closer putting my right foot between his feet, locking him in place
He threw a jab at my lower stomach, I swiftly grabbed his wrist and threw his arm to the side letting his left side reflexively inch close. I grabbed his left arm and twisted my body while sweeping my leg to the right putting him more of balance.
*thud!* he hit the ground, "fine, still jumpy," he replied while he grabbed my outstretched hand
Pulling him to his feet I patted him on the back, "you're getting better," I remarked
"Slowly," he replied stiffly
"Slowly but it will be worth it," I replied rolling my eyes at his competitiveness
*Ding DONG!* the doorbell rang
Sighing I got up and went for the door, Dembe following close behind me.
Reaching the door I opened it swiftly to be met face to face with Oliver and Diggle, "ah come in come in!" I exclaimed
"Why don't you two talk about bodyguard things while Oliver and I chat," I said which caused a smirk to spread on Oliver's face
I guided Oliver over to the area where Dembe and I were sparring, "let's talk and spar," I said really enjoying the new fun I'm having experimenting with moves I never thought of before
Oliver wasted no time and threw a left jab, hitting it away with the back of my open palm I aimed for his stomach, he blocked it and went for a low kick before backing off.
"So I saw the videos of you fighting superman," he said
"We already talked about this," I replied rolling my eyes
We moved in again, "hah, yeah but, lets talk more hah," he said while blocking my strikes
"What's there to talk about," I said while quickly dropping down my right hand touched the floor, and I balanced myself on my hand kicking outward, as he wrapped my legs.
Using my new position to my advantage, I performed a suspended sit-up, I was faster than him, *pah* my fist connected with his nose. He let go of my legs, landing safely I swiped performed a leg swipe, *thud!* he landed heavily on the ground
"Talk," I said with a smile
"You got better," he remarked
"What can I say, I train," I replied with a cheeky grin forming on my face
"Can you do stuff like you did against superman? The glades add becoming lawless," he admitted a heavy sigh not only leaving his mouth but mine
"Too many?" I asked
"Way too many," he replied shaking his head
"Leave it to me,"

Another exam todayđ trying to make a build-up for this next couple of arcs.
