"How to Make a King Laugh" by midnightswish
For the last five days, Prem only had one goal in mind: get to the Lost Desert. Now that the Acara was here, awe-struck in the hot climate, he can hardly find the strength to take a step forward. But he has to. He knows it. The otherwise timid librarian had spent too many days on the road. He pulls his trusted notebook out from his beaten-down backpack. By his calculation, given the time it took for him to travel there and the estimated time of return, he would only be given a single day there before he had to make the trip back to Meridell. No -- less than that. He shuts his notebook, tucking the pencil into the spine and slides the book back into his bag. He had approximately eight hours before he'd have to travel back and ultimately present himself to the king. It's that daunting task that drives him forward into the city. In six days' time, he would be the one to stand before the royal court. It's an honour to speak before the king, but the last time he'd attended, he couldn't shake that image of his royal scowl from his head. The library suffered as a consequence too. Neopets everywhere whispered as he passed. For all the books that lined his walls and all the stories he's kept in his back pocket, Prem couldn't make the king laugh. That was why he was there now. Books from Brightvale just wouldn't do anymore. He slips his hands into his pocket to retrieve the coin pouch inside. Outside the currency he's estimated would cover the cost of the trip, there's a slip he's tucked inside too. He takes it out now to examine it again. Carefully Prim unfolds the sheet of paper. There are creases from where he's folded it a thousand times over.
