"Gods forbid! I am sure this one is the completed version."
She murmured to herself, blowing her breath out. This library was always cold and the Lady's favorite place.
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow as the maiden came to them with a giant book.
Elenore went on her feet and grabbed the book with two hands.
"This is an old version yet not the completed one. That one has only one version besides many other mesmerizing books that only can be found in the palace of Bolingtone. Poor us, no one but royals can have access on them."
She growled and put the book on the table that was in the middle.
Elizabeth's mouth dropped, seeing those carvings on the cover. She needed a whole day to understand them, sense them under her fingers.
Elenore opened the book, the odor of old leather papers perfumed the place.
"Even the scent is different," Lisa uttered.
"Yes, I must thank the person who took notes in such precious papers. They could live for a long time."
Checking the content, she turned the pages.
"Come here, I didn't want to show you but it seems I have to!" She summoned her son.
The eager boy went to his mother, Elenore placed her hand on his shoulder.
"See, this is a devil imp!"
"Not terrifying in the picture." He shrugged.
Elizabeth and Luna smiled, he was as brave as his father. They could not remember if Captain Dorian Black feared something.

Inside the room that Dorian had taken the men, Ryan spread on an easy chair. His eyes were on John McCain who just sent his son to the death door.
"Mr. McCain, I am wondering if Rave was unaware that you were a knight!"
Ryan actually snarled at his father, yet madness was snuggling his nerves.
"That kid is a rat! He discovered it while meddling into the compartment that I thought was in a secured place."
Miguel smirked at Ryan.
"You are all the same, then!"
Ryan shrugged.
"Overfond boy joined the knights! Why John? Why did you let him go to South?"
Asked Miguel.
"Because he had been fooling around when I did not let him join them three years ago! I couldn't stop him, this way he will die in a way he loves, at least."
John said, concealing his heavy heart behind the smile that carved on his face. He could understand what Miguel meant but their children had become grown men.
"I will watch over him, I am returning to south this Friday. I am willing to clean the borders."
Dorian Black declared, he was selected by the Prince to tend to the southern borders and they could not find a man of duty and rule better than Wilmore.
"Thank you, but tell us about the borders! How could they cross the watchers?"
"Ah, those rascals! I told the prince to survey over this, I doubt it is related to my men because they know the rules, the lawbreakers will be burned with their families if they betray Velator."
He spoke the truth, if it wasn't for the duty, certainly dread wouldn't persuade them to skip this matter.
"Do you think someone in the court has been supporting them?" Ryan asked, he wasn't surprised.
Dorian walked to a table. This was his workroom and interior design was revealing it.
"If not support then I might call it a favor! We must suppress it before getting worse."
He picked a map and went back to them, placed it on the table in front of Ryan.
"Please have your seat. You might get amazed after seeing all of these." He told the lord, unrolled the map after he took his place beside Miguel.
They adjusted the map and saw many marked places on them.
"The map of Alovena country. I bought this from a cartographer from there."
"Those wild people would behead him if they notice."
John pointed out.
"Where you there before?"
Asked Ryan.
"Yes, we had a common mission to fight against the pirates. They tore my nerves."
"What are these marked zones? Did you find the imps here?"
Miguel was hoping to hear yes but when the man shook his head in denial, he was disappointed to hear pleasant things.
"We heard from the travelers and merchants mostly. These zones got bombed by the seizing of the imps. Ten villages and two big towns. All of the attacks were on the full moon."
He notified them and then put his forefinger on a green marked area.
"These are the lime mines. People of this village had taught that the imps are sensitive on lime so kept using it but you know lime is also dangerous for our kind."
The Lord nodded, they needed to change the term of use, spraying raw lime was a sword with two edges that could scratch with both sides.
"Did you ask the court to send a pack of seekers to find out from which hell the imps are coming?"
Lord James could reckon the response but he wanted to know what their excuses were.
"They said that it is Alovena's problem, those colorless people should have solved it themselves."
"That's not good, father! We are not friends but we are not also enemies."
Ryan nagged.
"Yes, the court of Velator believes that our tyrants should not get involved with this because the raiders are inhuman beasts."
Miguel explained.
"Gods' sake! What a ridiculous reason. Those imps give birth to five more ones. I heard that the number of females is not much but they are the strongest ones."
John brought it up with rage.
Ryan felt that to his bones, those nails on the female imp, sat on his chest and tore his skin, and if it wasn't for the faerie necklace that burned its hand, he couldn't survive. The worse was that whirlwind.
"Silver, it can burn their thick skin. But not our silvers! The faeries silvers. We killed the first imp with the griffin tamer and the female one. If it wasn't for this, I could not tolerate nor survive!"
He put out the silver necklace from his white shirt that was borrowed from Dorian.
