Lithar ended up in the library and was looking for something to
read when he heard someone telling a story.He silently crept
forward and stopped a short way from where what looked to be other
Alia were listening to another read them a story.He stood quietly
behind a bookshelf and listened in to the story.His tapping had
slowed to a stop.
Ria skids into the library and leaps onto Izzy's lap as he reads.
Izzy doesn't look fazed in the slightest, as if having a
translucent weasel just into your lap is an everyday thing. "So the
daughter, rebelling against her aunt, decided to sing the song
herself, in the garden, late at night."
"The song worked. The daughter disappeared and the family never
found her. The grandmother blamed herself for her granddaughter's
disappearance. But she never told anyone what happened." Izzy
finishes. "Ria, please stop leaning over, you're going to get blood
on the book."
Mako had to hold in a laugh. Just the way that Izzy said it in such
a calm voice like it was a regular thing. Well Mako thought
It probably is a normal thing to them.
"Come on, off." Izzy says, gently nudging her off his lap. She
floats in midair, sucking in some of her dripping blood. Izzy
stands up, closing the book and the Alia start to disperse, except
for Ria and a cat-like creature.
Lithar peeks out from his hiding spot and tilts his head as the
Alia start to disperse.Ah.They are leaving.I was hoping for
another story.He thinks to himself while tapping the tips of
his fingers against his leg.He makes his way forward silently and
stands behind Mira.
