P.O.V: Extern

- Please calm down !

- But how do you expect me to calm down ? It's been several days since my brother didn't come back and Encre disappeared !

- They probably had to take shelter somewhere because of the storm and stayed there for some reason ! But don't worry so much !

- No ! Besides, it's all my fault....

- But no.... The storm just came at the wrong time ! You thought you were doing the right thing....

The prince sighed and fell on the couch in the large living room.

- But what are we going to do now...

It was daylight and all the curtains of the castle were closed. Normally they would all sleep at this time, but the prince was far too worried to sleep since the second night. Suddenly, the noise of the large entrance doors was echoing in the corridors. The prince rushed and jumped into the arms of the taller being.

- Big brother !!

- Good to see you too, Jasper.

He was hugging his brother while another little being was pulling the cape.

- Yes, I have to introduce you.

The King leaves him by gently rubbing his skull before showing a small skeleton half hidden behind him.

- This is Loop. A friend of Encre's.

He then turned to face an ebony skeleton that was hung on the arm of another white bone skeleton.

- These are Papercut and Unfresh.

- Call me Cut.

- Yo.

Jasper approached them.

- I am Prince Jasper !

- Oh cool. Good for ya.

- Cut don't be so mean !

- Rooh Loop, you must be used to it now !

- That's not a reason !

Fallacy sighed when she saw them. He felt like he had a daycare. Jasper crossed his arms looking at them.

- Fallacy, how do you know them ?

- Well...

//Flash Back//

- Cut !

- What ?

- Where do you live ?

- Nowhere.

- What do you mean ?

- He doesn't have a home, Loop.

- Oh..... It's sad....

- Oh yes ! So sad !

They turned to an unknown voice. Or rather... Unknown for two of them. Cut crossed his arms.

- Unfresh ! Get out of there !

A pale boned skeleton wearing an overturned cap and strange glasses came forward.

- Yo, loser !

- What the hell are you doing here ?

- Well what ? Can't I ask myself how's my buddy, who I haven't seen in almost a month ?

- I was thrown out! You can't see me like everyone else in the village anymore ! And... Where's your doggie ?

- Bof. He was bothering me.

- Did you sell it ?!

- And so what ?

- Unfresh ! You can't stay without a doggie !

- And who says I don't have a particular doggie in mind ?

- What do you mean ?

Loop approached holding the bottom of Cut's jacket.

- So you're looking for someone who would be your doggie ?

- Yup. Or rather that I would like it to be !

- And who is that ?

Unfresh smiles as he approaches, fists on his hips, and a smile as he looks at Cut.

- A certain old friend~ !

Cut blushes as he steps back.

- Are you kidding ?!

- Roh Cut it's fine ! It's the only way you can take your home back !

- No, there's also by finding myself a doggie !

- Oh ? Where's your doggie been all this time ?

- .........at the castle...

- At the castle ? Damn man, did you get your doggie taken like that ?

- Well... I was at the market final and they interrupted everything...

- Oh yeah.... Well, forget it, they're not going to start the market again for a while until they find new organizers and calm the crisis !

Cut lowered his head as Unfresh put his hand on his shoulder.

- Look, man.... I'm not doing this to use you... I want to help you.... You've been outside for far too long...

- You... Want to help me ?

- Of course....

The skeleton with ebony bones smiled gently at him. Loop sighed and pushed Cut who fell into his friend's arms. Friend who had turned blue.

- Ah !

- Haha he's all blue !

Cut blushed and noticed his friend's blue blush and straightened up.

- Unfresh ? Are you all right ?

- H-huh ? Yeah yeah good !

He leaned towards his face and saw him turn blue even more. Cut smiled as he understood and straightened up as he crossed his arms. Fallacy looked at them and sighed.

- Children....

- You're in no position to say that.

Says Loop, from a totally neutral ton. Fallacy turns yellow by looking away before clearing his throat.

- .... So ? What do we do now ?

- Can I stay with my doggie ?

- I'm not your doggie !!

The King sighed again as he set off.

//End Flash Back//

One of the servants approached.

- Your Highness... Forgive my indiscretion, but... Where's Missure Encre ?

The King's gaze darkens. Cut spoke.

- He's at the nearby castle. He has to marry the prince but we don't agree, so we have to find a way to bring him back here.

- Wh-What ?? A wedding ??

- Yes, Jasper. Because of his marks.

- His marks ?

Another servant approached timidly.

- If I may, I've been one of those who were busy bringing him a say while he was getting dressed, I had the opportunity to see these marks...

Fallacy approched her.

- And what did they look like ?

- Um... They were bluish black... They covered his entire rib cage, neck, spine and shoulders... He was wearing pants so I don't know how far they stretch and then it would be inappropriate for me to look down...! They formed beautiful curves, like lace...

The tall vampire seemed to be thinking.

- Encre curves look like lace, you say...

He then headed towards the corridors of the castle, followed by the others. He entered what was supposed to be the library and went to a shelf away from the others. Letting his finger slide over the edges of the books, he stopped on a large book to pick it up. He would leaf through it quickly.

- Multiple curves... multiple curves... Mmh.... Ah !

- Did you find anything, big brother ?

He approached a seat and settled there.

- 'In creator somnia' .

Et hoc aliter se habet ad homines infame monstris.

- Nam mortalium, suus 'a quo significabatur notam cumulus. Quod corpore miscet lae redundantia in abyssum absorbere.

• Consequentiae, praecipue facit hominem corporaliter infirmi et sani. Hi saepe desperatus populus, qui et diutissime vivere.

'Morbus, debilitas et miserationes"

- quia tale monstrum, hic autem significat notam felix habet. More taedas sunt, est momenti ad crescente.

• Consequentiae, Ille refert notam subiit tempus. Sed non ad ipsum hominem. Illas autem circa amicitiam. Et carrier est tamen maxime ill-ac felix potest sine spe miserum vivere. Proxima illi tanto magis augetur nostra fortuna ea possumus multa nobis possit.

'Passionem, vitam et creaturae'

- Um... Can you repeat ? I absolutly don't get it at all !

- Cut it's Latin...

- I don't speak your noble languages !

Fallacy sighed and started reading again.

- 'In creator somnia', or rather, 'The creator of dreams'.

This state is different for monsters and humans.

• For mortals, it is a mark symbolizing accumulation. An overflow that mixes and covers the body as if to engulf it in the abyss.

- Consequences: Makes the person particularly weak physically and also in his health. These people are often sick and do not live very long.

'Sickness, weakness and compassion'

• For a monster, this brand symbolizes a good luck charm. The more brands there are, the more important it becomes.

- Consequences: The person wearing this brand brings an incredible opportunity. But not for the person in himself. For those around him who have his friendship. The wearer, on the other hand, is extremely unlucky and can live in poverty. The closer you are to this person, the greater your chance is and you can be able to do many things with him/her at your side.

'Passion, life and creation'

- So... If I understand correctly... Encre has brands that make it possible to achieve our ambitions in a way...? The closer we are to him, the more this consequence increases... So if he marries someone, that person will be able to do almost anything ?

- That is what they say and if the king also knows the meaning of these marks, it even seems obvious.

- But if he marries the prince...

- The prince will be as close as possible to Ink, so yes. He may invade a kingdom that his victory will already be predicted in advance.

- Encre... It is used as an object... Like a four-leaf clover that is enclosed in resin for them....

Says Loop with a small sad face. Fallacy closed the book before getting up to put it back at its place.

- Big brother, are you going to pick up Encre next time or wait ?

- We'll see about that. First you need to know where you're going. If you want to carry out a successful mission, you need to be sure of yourself and know how to react in any situation.

- I see !

- And so the noble ? What do we do now ?

Fallacy stood with his back to them, his eyes red and determined.

- We have a ball to prepare.
