A half-completed puzzle of farm animals lay abandoned on the rug. The mobile above the crib, the one that played Brahm's Lullaby, turned lazily in some unfelt draft, its delicate chimes setting my teeth on edge.

The moon cuts a pale strip across the floor. Inside, the twins breathe even and slow. The little prince is curled against the side of the crib the way he always curls, thumb at his lip, hair mussed. Lumina's throat is tight.

Finally, I satisfied my rumbling stomach, and fell asleep. It was later in the evening that I awoke, stretching and yawning. It was a nice sleep. Pulling off the sleeping cap, I rose and yawned, stretching, before launching into a warm-up exercise. Then my eyes caught the bookshelf. There were books. Did that mean only books by the author were written? I went to the shelf, and pulled out a book, and checked it. It was about the history of the Palace, Magenir, and I was right about the author—MoonCub.

Plifer began to murmur, his feet walking closer to the bookshelf. Lylia who looked at Plifer just narrowed her eyes, finally arriving at the evil fabrication in her mind. She smiled cynically at Plifer who was standing on the shelf in front of her. She was right on top of Plifer's head waiting for her power to run out. "Hish .. The little girl only knew how to shake her legs. I've had a lot of work to settle, since Fullus rested at the palace .. I have a lot of Fullus work to settle." Plifer sighed.

He had never heard about laboratories,computers,chalks,or toilets. At dawn,Oloompala lost sleep as he was used to waking up early to check on the cows.He turned and touched the metallic edge of the bed.His fingers quickly bent back as the cold sent a signal to his brain!He pulled the hands into the blanket,and stared at the white ceiling,from the edge of the bed that hung like a cloud above his bed.There was no one on the upper bed.On his side,a lump that looked like a distorted pile of clothes, lay still on the next bed.You couldn’t make out if it were a person lying in between blankets,but loud snores pounded in succession, piercing through the morning cold.Oloompala wondered how his room

Two days later, Lucas was doing his morning assignment in the library. He cleaned the shelves and adjusted the books order in the shelf. His hand did the work automatically, while his mind flew back to his failure attempt to touch Irina’s hand, because her guard which was the town master won’t leave them alone.
