I was at the town's orphanage.
No, scratch that. I was in the town's orphanage: The Merciful Sisters.
They had a great library, and I earned the name bookworm behind my back.
The other orphans constantly teased me.
Yes, I'm an orphan, I used to think my family dumped me there and left.
Only recently did the sisters tell me the story.
My family didn't put me here, I was read out of a book.
I thought it was a fairytale. The sisters were keen on telling stories, especially about a magical carousal.
But then, the power started coming, fast and furious.
They said that a volunteer, Darius, used to read to the children.
One minute, an older child, Fabio, was sleeping in a big armchair, the next, Fabio was gone, and I appeared.
Magically.
Somehow, I received some of Darius's powers.
I can make things disappear into books and come out of books.
It was great, then Capricorn found me.
