《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》047
Advertisement
Adam slowly opened his eyes, he was in a square room made of white wood, the room was completely empty except for a candle that poorly lit the room.
His body was glued to a white wooden chair, it seemed that the chair had wrapped his arms and legs so that he could not move them and in his mouth could be found a piece of white robe soaked with blood.
* Mmmm * ... * Mmmm * The taste of blood and the terrifying atmosphere caused the boy to start crying, but only mooing could be heard through the blood-stained cloth covering his mouth.
—Looks like you woke up, kid—someone commented with a very calm and slow voice.
Adam looked in that direction, and a person made entirely of wood could be found. Adam recognized him at a glance as the old man on the white wooden shelf. But the old man did not look as old as before, there were no wrinkles on his face, no scars, and he was dressed in a suit, a cane and a very elegant hat.
*Mmmmmm*... Adam tried to plead, while he cried.
But the old man didn't seem to mind Adam's pleas, as he put his cane on the boy's shoulder and said in a slow voice:
—Listen, I saved your life and business with my family is always please. You owe me a favor, and you're going to pay it back.
Adam didn't understand the old man's words, he only looked at him with great fear, he remembered Frank's head being replaced by a book. The old man noticed the boy's look and said in an authoritative tone:
—Son, bring the orc.
Prince Charming formed himself out of the wood and carried in his arms a child completely wrapped in white robes stained with blood.

* Mmmmmmm * ... * Mmmmmmmm * The fear on Adam's face only grew, a long time ago he had stained the floor with piss and his lucky eyes saw the loud tears that fell down his face as he begged for his life.
The charming prince ignored the young boy's appearance and began to unwrap the boy inside the robes.
* Mmmm * ... Adam's tears stopped, and he looked in amazement at Franco's body: he didn't look like a human at all, he was Franco's size and blood-red, but his skin was pale and full of complicated blue tattoos.
—This is an 'Actorino'— The old man commented with the same calm voice as always— They transform into librarians, attract their victims and kill them between the corridors to devour them. Didn't you notice anything abnormal?
When the old man asked, the piece of robe in Adam's mouth was pulled out by Prince Charming.
—No...—Adam said trembling with fear.
The old man noticed the boy's gaze and put his hand to one of the walls, his hand sank and a yellow book and a pencil came out. As he handed the book to Adam, he commanded in an authoritative voice:
—Ask your godfather
The wood in Adam's hands disappeared and with fear he took the biography and tried to explain the situation to his godfather while some tears fell on his face and stained the biography due to the terrifying situation in which he had gotten himself.
His godfather answered quite angry about the situation: 'I have no fucking idea that he is an 'Actorino', but do you think you can refuse what they ask of you? I GO WITH THE FLOW!!'
Adam read the words of his godfather and looked cautiously at the two possible assassins of Franco or his saviors, now he could only trust the advice of his godfather and try to get out of this wooden room alive.

—Look, boy, the situation is quite simple— Said the old man with a serious face on his face, as he put his hand on Adam's shoulder— We saved your life and I want you to return the favor.
Adam nodded with some fear and because the hand that was pressing on his shoulder was hurting a little. The old man took his hand away from him and smiled as he explained the situation:
—The favor I ask of you is quite easy, one of my daughters told me that you have some relationship with a shelf on the lower floor 5 of 5. If you can get that shelf to get me some booklets that are not controlled by the baron, the favor is settled.
Adam returned to attend more violently, the favor did not seem so complicated, it only depended on the old man without eyes. The old man looked at Adam with an even bigger smile, seeing him smile.
—Boy, this is my 5 promotion and my children had a few more, believe me, I can pay some magical book for the contact with those booklets. You just tell that shelf: the Martinelli family need this favor, and we'll make it part of the war for this promotion. You will see how his eyes shine with delight.
Adam nodded as if his life depended on it. The old man snapped his fingers and a door with a spiral staircase opened, Then he took out a black book from the corpse and handed it over to Adam, saying:
—A little advance, so that your negotiation becomes more fluid.
Adam nodded and took the book. His legs broke free, and he ran with all his might towards the spiral staircase. When he spread the word of Prince Charming, he came from behind him, yelling:
"Don't fail the mission, boy!" If you fail you will not get out alive or escape through the lower floors!
