Alto

Alto rummaged through the first book when he realized that he was running out of time. The book was too detailed, every single one of Nile’s feelings and emotions written in the most specific, enchanting writing. Even as a child, Nile held a lot inside himself. He would change from being soft and kind to extremely composed, then aggressive. It was too much for Alto to process. The book disappeared and withered into thin air as Alto turned the last page. So instead, he went to the very last book on the last shelf. What if it was something recent?

“Attention people of Förseglad! The seal will close in 3 minutes. I repeat, the seal will close in 3 minutes! Also, may Alto Aureum please call the palace office. Alto Aureum,” Raelynn’s voice shouted once again. Alto cursed under his breath, ignoring Raelynn’s demands. Frantically, he flipped through the book, losing hope by the second when something caught his eye.
