Chapter 05

Hunger from the endless dream that the thing I cannot escape, founding a solace in this stranger named Rosetta.

Carrying a 13 yrs old face, innocent with a charming smile she always gave when we interact in my dreams.

She was standing in the middle of the big library, finding myself in a trance with the beauty that the place illuminating, from the neatly covered bounded books with a detailed ancient cursive writings, I just want to read them all.

"Isn't beautiful, I just found this place yesterday when mother left to talk with the other leaders of trinity" Rosetta said, earning a smile from her which I gave back with a nod.

I cannot find my voice to speak but I suddenly felt a strange sensation of darkness all over my body.

"What is this place Rosetta?" I ask, still in a trance but not because of the beauty rather because of fear.

"Candara, the library that still standing from the pass millennia" she said in awe that she's the one who found this antique place.

"The favorite hiding spot of the first and last queen" I added. I still remember the story that mother told me every night I go to sleep, the story of Circa, which bring me both an interest and terror before I sleep.

Now that I remembered the story I'm more than terrified to be here, that we should not stay here any longer, because this place have many dangerous spell and potions contained in these very halls of books of all enchantments.

Circe is a curious woman, she doesn't get enough to the mystery of our world so she always conducting many adventures to satisfied her curiosity. This is one of them, thousands of new discoveries inside these books, good or bad, ancient or new, magical or non-magical.

And the worst is the curses.

Rosetta eager nodded and started to wonder the open spaces where she takes the books one by one.

"What's bothering you?" she asked frowning that I didn't move eagerly like her.

"This is bad Rosetta, I feel something not good will happen" I said taking a step backwards on the marble floor.

"Oh ssh, don't be a coward, it's just a book" she shushes me and continue exploring.

Then a whispering voice chanting to my ears that keep saying 'consume to the deepest lives of people'. I look where the voice coming from, seeing a bookshelf that I didn't realize is near beside me where the place I'm standing.

I don't know what consume me to take the white leather bounded book, but it took me seconds to realize what I've done. Tracing the cursive ancient writing that which I can interpret...

"One...Vonne...Yvonne" male gentle voice muttered to my ears, the words he says at first are blurry in my ears but every words passed after the another I clearly heard he was calling my name, and the owner is my new companion named Fido.

I don't what just happened but I bolted up, sitting in the cloth I was to sleep with sweating body and I'm breathing heavily. I caress my forehead waking up feeling I had headache, I look beside me when I saw Fido staring at me worried with his unusual glowing green eyes, by the look of him with his messier sandy hair and tired eyes, looks like I woke him when I was having that vivid dream.

"Fido why are you here?" I asked catching my breath, now my sight is clear to see that Christine and Andres with Jack are all awake. Well great I disturb them.

"I heard your pleas, the tightness of your heartbeat when tracing the words that rather be concealed" he mutter with him looking uncomfortable to talk about it.

But how he would know I was dreaming and holding the white leather bounded book tracing every single symbols. He wasn't there and he doesn't read mind too either, or could he do that. I look at his eyes trying to find out if he could read minds but he look away not comfortable to my stares.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he said trying to dodge away from my stares.

"How do you know that, I just wake up and I never told to you or Andres about my dreams so what are you or should I say who are you?" I asked facing him, fiercely waiting for him to answer.

"I'm Fido, Finnian or whatever name you wanted to call me" he silently said to me, standing up without looking back at my direction. I frowned to his sudden action, what's wrong to what I just said.

"Fido where are you going" I asked but he clearly didn't heard me or just ignore I talked to him.

"Tsk, I think I forgot to tell you that asking a question about what kind he is, are a touchy subject to him" Andres said in a way makes me annoy, who coming came out of know where, but I think I should not do that because after all I just met him earlier and I have no right to question him, but how could I trust him fully in helping us and stay with us if we don't know anything about this two.

Now my head is in scramble.

"Where we should we go now?" I asked Christy because for the short time we're together I could see that she was good in directions and places.

"I think we should console first a geist to guide us where should we start" Andres suggested which for the first time I agree to the words that came out from his mouth

"I agree" Fido and I said at the same time which Christy nod in agreement also

"Do you know any geist?" I asked

"I know one" Christy said and look at me with sadness in her eyes indicating that this geist have a relation to the dead Yvonne.

"You lead the way, we will go when the sun rise" Andres said
