The skeleton did nothing. It simply looked at the woman. She understood its meaning. The skeleton did not want to open the books itself. If the humans were to see its hands, they would freak out and begin screaming just like the guard.

The woman opened the first book. She began reading out loud for the skeleton. This was the other reason it wanted the woman to open the books. It needed her to read the content of the book. It did not know how to read the human language. Although it could read the strange characters on the axe, the human language was different.

As the woman read, the skeleton began learning the human tongue and writing.

The children soon began dosing and were taken upstairs to their bedrooms by their father. The skeleton did not stop him. When the woman saw this, the worry in her heart reduced a little.
