Chirp Chirp, The birds were singing. The weather confused between hotness and coldness. It was another brutal day in Capricon's village. Dustfinger got an immediate wake up from the gun shots outside at the gate. He didn't know what to do, to go out, or to stay in. He came down the stairs ; it was a busy morning down at the workers. There were many workers and maids each doing their own work in such a rush. There must be something big thought Dustfinger. Big? He was reminded of the Big Thing that was to happen on Dustfinger. The thought alone made Dustfinger's spine chilled. He just wanted to run at this point of his life.
He went to the garden to see if any of those ladies were there waiting for him. When he reached there, he saw nothing, but Gwin playing in the dust. He glanced up and saw one of the maids in his own room waving a book at him. It was Lisa who kept waving without saying anything; Dustfinger got the point that she was afraid of Magpie catching her.
The book was strange; he kept looking at it. Its jacket was old and the name on it was totally erased. She was very far from ground, so it was hard for Dustfinger to even look at the book. He pointed his index finger on his chest and then to her to indicate that if he should come up there to see the book she was waving for. Lisa covered her lips with her index finger to show him that someone is coming. She quickly disappeared into the shadows behind the window like she never was there.
Dustfinger could not see Capricon nor Basta. He started to think where do they stroll around every other day. Killing some people and looting or what ever their stupid business is.
The Cockerell was standing and guarding the gate; Dustfinger decided not to walk anywhere near him. As soon Cockerell noticed him, He placed his thumb on his throat making a gesture of slit cut like he wanted to kill him. Dustfinger wrinkled his eyebrows in disgust and walked away from him as soon as possible.
A rock came flying, hitting him right at his head. Dustfinger was stunned for a moment; he tried to look at the rock which was covered in paper. He opened the paper to see a drawing of a wall with a flower bouquet hanging on it. He turned all three sixty degrees to investigate the place. There it was right behind him.
He started passing by its corner where there was a straw-narrow street from where a hush voice came. It was Lisa inside of it calling Dustfinger.
"Look at this page of the book, You can see Resa and her family, right?" Said Lisa as quick as possible as she wanted to get out of that corner.
"Yes, This is Resa! Is this the book where Resa belong?" Dustfinger asked Lisa.
"She must be thinking that her world is the only world but she was in a book and so do we are?" He wrinkled his nose in surprise.
"Yes, This is fascinating and a rumor to be true. Many people did not know it and many readers that make things disappear or appear also don't know it as Resa's husband accidentally brought her here, into this world." Resa continued "She also claims that she had read our world in the book where she said were fairies and dwarfs and other magic things." Lisa exclaimed
"It is Fascinating and Rubbish at the same time, Lisa! See, there are no fairies and dwarfs in our world as it was described in the our book?!"
"Yes, There are not. But it could be that Author must have decided to write something else but meant something else." Described Lisa. "I stole this book from a shelf in Capricon's room as I was cleaning it. Resa told me about this book and we have to run from here as soon as possible tonight, So we could get as far as possible before the stupid king Capricon get informed about his stolen book."
"Okay, I'll meet you tonight and you better be ready to escape."
Dustfinger nodded; Lisa disappeared onto the other side of the small street.
It was evening time, The time was ticking and Dustfinger was waiting for any knock that would lead him out of this place. Dustfinger was confused as always but wanted to get rid of this hell of a place. It was like a torture to him now.
