((Collab, Part 3))

William would, after making sure that no one was watching, begin to read or skim the first book, then the other.

The first book contained designs of dolls, William could recognize several ones of them from those whom he met at the midnight tournament. There was also others, which you imagined where those who were not  successfully assembled. The last two pages of the book had the designs of three. One being Eve, before her encounter with Andras and Vera. The second being a jester-like individual. Then the final was depicting Galbrek himself. Under the label. "Perfect creation. Work in progress. Need to get the girl or the boy as soon as possible."

The second book had names written up in it. It appeared to almost be a register of people, aswell as some notes here and there. "The soul is easier to put in if it has recently departed from it's origin."

Adam Alzarez, Bertrand de Valeé, Celine Joseria, Darla Duman....

William was shocked at that. [i]So that's what Celine meant by 'we were all once human'. It seems I was wrong.[/i]

They had a date of birth aswell as a date of death written up in the book. It would appear that Galbrek in fact had some way to bring the dead back into life in a twisted, artificial way. Giving them a second chance at life but with a duty they must fulfill.

He had made his own note regarding it. "In order to make a more spectacular scene one needs actors, those who are willing to play out the roles given to them. Even if they die, the story must go on until the curtain falls."

Several of the pages bear a creepy repetition of writings over it. "I am not alone. I am not alone. I am not alone."

Each of his designs has however been made with outmost detail and alot of time spent on perfecting them. As if he genuinely cared for each of his creations. Even if their souls were never his to toy with.

"Adam is grateful for the life he has been given. I have become a god of creation, someone who can take and restore life."

William used his smartphone to take pictures of the scene and of select pages, and then took the books, before doing the smart thing and texting Alexander.

Then, he would begin to rummage through Galbrek's objects, all the while trying to resist breaking down.

A creaking sound could be heard behind him, was it the wind blowing through a gap in one of the windows or was it just the mind playing tricks? The boy quickly turned around.

Rummaging through the things in the room, William finds a photograph of Galbrek alongside a blonde in short hair aswell as another person between them. 

A young boy with long red hair holding his arms around both of their shoulders. Oddly enough all three of them look somewhat alike, whomever the other two people were they must have meant something to the half-demon at some point in time. 

Then there was also an old dusty small book with a broken lock on it, as if the person who owned the book had accidently lost the key and forced it open in a rage. An old diary. "I made them today, I went by the alphabet when chosing who to pick. I feel alone. So alone. They will never replace you though, they never could. None ever could. Why did it have to be you? It could have been either one of us. It's all the humans fault, they are the source of all our pain and why we need to hide. Someday I will open the gate of all gates and flood this world in the darkness and let it consume them all for your death."
