Alias: The Pagekeeper
Origin: Kent, 1980s
Age When Taken: 17
Current Age: 61
Before Captivity:
Mina was a quiet, studious sixth-former volunteering with a local mobile library program over the summer. Born to Bengali immigrant parents, she found joy in solitude and literature, especially myths and fairy tales. In the summer of 1981, the van she was driving to a rural Kent village was found parked neatly at the edge of a country lane. The lights were still on. The engine was cool. Mina—and every book—was gone.
In Faylinn:
Mina was claimed by the Librarium Groaning—a vast, living archive deep within fae territory. She was assigned the role of Pagekeeper, tasked with cataloging “lost stories”: those untold, unfinished, or unwritten. Each day, she had to bind these tales into flesh-bound volumes that whispered and wept. If she failed, pages would turn blank. Her fingertips became stained with ink that couldn’t be washed away, and her breath turned the pages.
Eventually, she smuggled herself into a half-written story about a girl escaping a tower—and returned through the ending.
After Return:
She reappeared thirty years later, curled in the driver’s seat of a brand-new library van. The van and uniform were from 1981, both pristine. FDG agents on scene described her blinking “as if stepping out of a dream.” The van contained only one book: a handwritten volume titled The Girl Who Forgot to End.
She now lives in a controlled FDG residence. She won’t go near public libraries, but she writes compulsively in blank notebooks. When agents try to read them, the words vanish.
Scars:
Fingers permanently ink-stained
Wakes with paper cuts that heal by dusk
Claims she hears “pages turning when no one’s around”
Refuses to speak the word ending aloud
