A cat appeared
in front of him out of nowhere. Ibesso! Where have you been hiding for so long? Looks like you stayed in Venice again and got a wet suit or did you fight with the milking machine? I hope you docked the boat or Wuk will be mad. Man, you look like a drowned cat.
Before he could answer, the cat disappeared into a magical creature.
You're lucky I'm here, without me you would never have found your way back. The Enigma Bookstore has had to undergo some forced changes. There are mysterious downvoters armed with AI in Italy disrupting the art of writing and reading.
Dragon?
Wuk, look Ghostwriter is back!
Dragon jumped up and down with excitement. I just don't think he's equipped. Look what he looks like! Bleh!
Let's go.
In a flash the three had disappeared, something that would only have been noticed if someone had been outside or looked out through the shutters and been amazed by the pink cloud on the street. But no one did. Not at the secret place they stood.
Not Farawayistan asked Ibesso, who still looked soaked. He stood in a pool of water and it was as if that pool refused to let go of him. Where are we travelling to?
Aceh, as agreed. You could have found your way to the bookstore yourself if you had paid attention. Fadthalib is part of the Enigma Bookclub, he is an expert in the history of ancient magic. In the inner of Hive 169911, you will find the Enigma Bookstore. Here all the important stories striking a chord are safe. Ibesso you deviated from the path while you were waiting for the first invited. You know only one of them responded but it looks like each one of them has disappeared.
Don't look at me, said Dragon, I haven't eaten a human during the last four moons and believe me Steemians are tough guys, they are difficult to digest and it wasn't Woof either.
Twelve members and most of them are gone? What about the Custudion, I could swear...
Ibesso seemed more confused than ever. He thought it to be wiser to wait till they sailed in saver water.
Not much later
the three appeared in the Hive's library where Fadthalib was waiting for them.
Xiao-Aine is a candidate who only minds her own business.
So does Sbamsoneu, Wuk remarked, let's invite him.
Twelve guests, of whom at least six have disappeared. The Custodian claims he saw nothing and did not notice any books were missing. I have made an overview, let's look together. Woof is still searching to unravel the mystery.
He's tired, Dragon said, having shrunk to a smaller version. He sleeps a lot when he returns from a trip.
The names of ten books were written on the list Fadthalib had made. After each book he had written a name.
Secrets of the Unknown Cosmos – @ibesso
Echoes of Ancient Lands – @aminasafdar
Guide to Celestial Maps and Mysteries – @pousinha
Untold Legends of Forgotten Realms – @sbamsoneu
Invisible Paths and Written Destinies - @jadams2k18
Lost Chronicles of History – @fadthalib
Paths of Healing and Ancient Wisdom – @irawandedy
Explorer's Survival Manuals – @el-nailul
Rhythms of the Soul – @xiao-aine
Secret Codes and Deciphering – @patjewell
I'm sorry, Wuk but two books are still missing. I believe they belong to you.
Wuk didn't need much time to think and said: We can invest more time to puzzle it out or follow our path and write about what we know in the genre that fits us. Those missing books might show up. If not the thief sees blank pages or reads a familiar story.
They all agreed they wasted enough time to solve the riddle and hunt for the thief. It was time to write again. Each one of them had to follow their path and write about what touched their soul most. All collected stories formed the beating heart of Enigma Bookstore. The place where each story was found valuable
Story writers you are welcome to write about one of the ten books mentioned.
@solperez @saintkelvin17 @blessedlife @germanbava pick your book title and write a story. You are free to post where you like except for hive-169911. Thank you.

Nice story. I didn't read part 1 and 2. I'm in a hurry and see what I can do. No promisses.
No promises...I hope it means yes 😁

It looks like my notifications are being interrupted, luckily I saw the freewriter community so I could read your post. It's great to join the enigma bookstore, the idea we discussed a few days ago has become a reality. The title you proposed is also very appropriate to the author's background. Hopefully @el-nailul can share his unique experience of climbing mountains in Aceh, especially Leuser National Park, who knows, maybe he might meet a Sumatran tiger or one-horned rhino. Likewise with @irawandedy who can share his views on traditional Acehnese medicine such as "SEMBO" (traditional dental treatment).
Hopefully the new breakthrough you are working on will receive support from the author and steemit. So that efforts to make fiction a tool for voicing opinions can become role models in Steemit.
My notifications do not work either. They just show once in a while.
I noticed edited comments do not show either.
Perhaps the old issues are back?
I wonder about the dental treatment.
This story wasn't started by me but by @elian23khan , next @ibesso wrote the second part. The idea was to continue it but of all those mentioned most did not even answer.
Next we were wrapped up in AI commenters. How time flies. @ibesso was the one who wrote a great follow up. It was a puzzle for me to combine by @elian23khan his high level text with all the info ibesso showered the reader with.
There's less overview on a phone so all I could do is, after generating the picture and a dragon was shown, to write my own story, simplify it and use a few details plus parts of talks and thoughts.
Puzzling is fine I just wish I had more time.
Thanks for checking on me.
A happy day to you.
❤️
"SEMBO" is geen tandheelkundige zorg zoals het reinigen van tandsteen, maar eerder genezende pijn die wordt ervaren als gevolg van tandvleesontstekingen of gaatjes. Niet iedereen heeft dezelfde mening over de uitnodiging om iets anders te schrijven. Hieruit heb ik geleerd om de namen van mensen niet ijdel te gebruiken, omdat dit de persoon een ongemakkelijk gevoel zou kunnen geven.
Tandvlees ontsteking is een groot gebrek aan vitamine C, scheurbuik! Ik lijd er zelf aan. Onder andere omdat de vitamines niet opgenomen worden.
Geen suiker, meer zink kan helpen. Ook tegen gaatjes.
Het voelde voor mij ook onhemakkelijk toen ik de reaktie las. :(
Sepertinya ini tidak berkaitan dengan saya dan terutama tentang topik sembo.
Terimakasih.
Tidak masalah, maaf sudah buat anda tidak nyaman, terima kasih.
You can write about something else, take another topic and help fill the enigma bookstore
I'm very glad to see your post. I hope to read your posts again and again
Because? How about you writing an episode? Pick a title of a book mentioned and write about it.
