Requiem for Anthi: Anthi - book Two
“Surprised, Asan stopped and looked around. The room was small in scale; his height filled it. The cool shadows were in sharp contrast to the sunlight flooding the rest of the villa. Wooden shelves lined the walls from floor to ceiling and supported a fortune in leatherbound books. As antiques they were rare and priceless. Asan had never seen actual books anywhere else but here.
In the center of the room stood a vast desk all of wood, also old, also priceless. There were gilded carvings on i...ts panels. At a less tense time, he might have touched the desk and linked back to the carver kneeling among wood shavings as he labored to create this thing of beauty.
Muted light streamed down from a crimson stained-glass window set high in the wall before him. The air was cold, flat, and stale with chemical preservatives and dehumidifiers. The age, the ghosts, the shadows, and the cold made Asan think of a tomb.
His tomb?
Alarm clouded his rings.MoreLess
