SWNOVELS Chapter 45- Following The Mysterios Lord
“If you look in the diary now, can you read what happened that night?”
Elizabeth approved with a slight nod.
“Can I read what is written in the diary? Doesn’t it bother you?”
“No,” the girl smiled. “You can read my diary for now.”
The boy opened the diary, looked at it and became sad like a cat that is outside and the rain started.
“There isn’t anything written in it. I hope you didn't fool me.”
The girl got scared. She left the hawk alone and ran quickly to the boy who looked at her in a way too serious to be a joke. She took the magic dairy in her hand, looked in it, and took a deep breath.
“Can’t you see what it’s written?”
“I can’t see anything. What should I see?”
The girl looked in the diary again. She saw a few pages written in dark blue, one of the shades of the sky, where her meeting with her father and everything they discussed yesterday were presented. Every word in the diary was exactly as it happened.
“I wonder, only I can see what it is written? Maybe because ... sure because it's magic. It's my intimate diary.”
“However, maybe you can read it for me,” said the boy.
Elizabeth sat down next to Johnny.
"In a room beautifully set up and illuminated by several candle lights, came out of nowhere, a girl and a little hawk. A mahogany desk, a library full of books, and a carved table with some beautifully upholstered chairs furnished the room…
A gentleman sitting at the table when he saw the girl stood up and smiled happily. "
Elizabeth was ready to read everything that happened during her meeting with her father, but suddenly the girl stopped and Johnny jumped, scared from the chair as if he saw a ghost. A girl’s scream followed by other screams in the hallways scared them both.
They went quickly to the door and left the girl's bedroom.
In the corridor a lot of children and professors popped up right away. Among the professors there were Miss Harmony, Professor Hazard William and many others.
Miss Harmony took the girl in her arms and tried to calm her down. After the girl calmed down, the professor asked:
“What happened, Issabel?”
“Abigail Malley! I went for a walk in the Sanctuary of mystical and non-mystical creatures. And we entered the mystical part of the creatures ... odious, to look at them. At one point a winged creature took Abigail and left with her. I don't know what it was ... but, Abigail yelled at me scared to come and tell you she was taken by a hogre ... or horger.”
Miss Harmony looked around.
“I want to talk to Silarg! Silarg!”
At that moment a small stone elf, with a large beard with no hair on his head, much older than the others Elizabeth knew, appeared in a moment.
“Tell me, Miss Harmony. What happened?” asked Silarg, smiling.
“One of the children may have been caught by an ogre!”
But the stone elf's smile didn’t disappear when he heard these words.
“It’s impossible. We don't have that in the Centre of mystical and non-mystical creatures. You’re dead if you meet such a creature, needless to speak about trying to catch it and bring it here. Maybe who said she saw that, got it wrong. Who said such nonsense?”
“Abigail Malley said that ...” Miss Harmony interrupted the little stone elf.
Silarg's smile disappeared like a candle in the wind.
“Hm ... Abigail knows these creatures very well. She studied their palaeontology. And she certainly didn't joke, not even once, not to mention lying. But ... we need to talk to Knudlac urgently.”
“The professors are invited in the south wing! We need to make a quick plan!”
The elf stopped her.
“Miss Harmony, if that's really true. I told you that it’s suicide to fight it. If there really is an ogre there, it means the magic wall between the Centre of mystical and non-mystical creatures and the Ancient Forests has been broken by malicious people. Who knows what other creatures, perhaps more dangerous than an ogre, have entered the centre? And maybe the girl could already be… lost. There is no point in risking and ...”
Silarg stopped when he saw the group became not only terrified but also extremely anxious. Even some professors were scared, given what the responsible for the security in the Sanctuary of mystical and non-mystical creatures said.
“We must inform Mr. Knudlac and the Guardians. We need them.”
Miss Harmony turned to the students, that peanut gallery gathered there.
“Get back to your rooms! Nobody goes anywhere until we clarify where the problem came from! No one is allowed to leave the room. Silarg, please go to Mr. Knudlac's office to discuss the problem with him ...”
Silarg and Miss Harmony went away at the same time in a small swirl, and then all the professors disappeared one by one. They all went to the south wing.
The students began to walk slowly to their rooms, coordinated by students in higher grades, upset that all their plans for the day were interrupted.
“I wanted to dive in the Mariana Trench,” said a senior student to a colleague. “I had a potion that could help me breathe and resist that high pressure…”
“And how could you see in the dark? You could be lost there ...”
“Aha ... I didn't think about that.”
“I wanted to do rock climbing ...”
“Again?” the diving colleague asked.
“Yes, but today I wanted to climb in a snowy area. Somewhere where it snowed a lot and there was a risk of avalanche ... I was supposed to go with Deacon Pettersen.”
Others said they wanted to rest on a beach in Malibu, others wanted to dive in the area of Bermuda, others wanted to try their inventions with inventors from the Wisdom Pavilion. Each one had plans that Saturday, plans that were now completely destroyed.
Johnny and Elizabeth looked at each other walking to the girl's room. On the way, they saw Alexander talking to an older colleague.
That colleague, who didn’t seem to bring anything good, given his sly smile, gave Soimesti an object, in secret. Johnny saw that and showed the girl too, to his delight. He felt like Sherlock Holmes when he found a track that brought him even closer to solving the mysterious case.
"Surely this snake has something to do with that ogre," he told the girl.
Everyone headed for their rooms, only Alexander hid behind a curtain, waiting for the others to leave.
“See? I told you!”
