Zo was eating red noodles with chopsticks when she walked into the living room.
Fina watched her from afar as she read through Carly's diary.
A lot have changed. They have changed.
Funny how chasing danger can change things.
"Where did you get that?" Fina asked "Smells yummy"
Zo grinned at her.
"A new tricky spell. I'm certain it's been recorded" She said
Fina went to sit beside her on the couch, her elbows resting on the armrest.
She watched Zo as she ate, paste surrounding her mouth.
Fina laughed at her and wiped it off with a towel.
"Do you think they will punish her?" Zo asked
"She'll be fine." Fina answered.
"I have a question" Zo said
Fina looked at the diary she was reading.
"The Invisible coded book. Why can't it be destroyed? Why bother to keep it safe if you can just destroy? The Queen can easily destroy the book"
Fina swallowed.
"If the Queen can destroy it, she would have all these years. I don't think she can. She may be powerful, but even powerful beings doesn't know everything."
"I guess so. But still-
"If it's founded this time, I'm certain no one can ever touch it again"
Zo nodded and sighed as she chewed on her noodles.
"What did you find at the Recording Hall?"
Fina shrugged.
"I didn't get to search for Jessica" She said "I'm curious about something. Where did Xiana stayed when she was alive?"
Zo stopped chewing, her eyes widening in shock.
"That's it. Where did she stayed? Where did she sleep?" Zo asked
More questions. No answers.
Fina stood up.
"Where are you going?" Zo asked
"Isn't it chilly in here?"
"Yes, it is. Do you know how to turn it on? Take my wand"
Zo tossed her wand to Fina.
"You know, it's really weird. Why do they want the book so much?"
"It might contain some evil things. Spells or anything."
Fina said as she bend to light the fire.
She opened the glass case covering the woods and arranged the woods.
Her eyes flitted to a glass door inside the fireplace.
"Zo?"
Zo was beside her in a flash.
They both removed the woods until they could see the door clearly.
It was a double glass door and when Fina pushed on it, it gave way.
Fina and Zo glanced at each other.
Zo nodded and they squeezed into the door.
When they entered with both hands and feets on the floor, they slid.
Zo screamed as they slid lower and lower until they fell to the ground.
They both struggled to their feet at once.
The place was big, dark and deserted.
"What this place?" Fina asked as her eyes roamed through the place.
Cobwebs filled every corner and spiders roamed about.
Something glittering attracted their eyes and they studied it.
Isn't that ants?" Zo asked
Golden ants trailed after one another and entered under a large door.
The girls followed.
Fina pushed open the door and they entered.
Floating colourful doors circulated the big room.
"Wow" Zo said
Their eyes landed on the ants again which stopped at a door and stayed there.
Fina and Zo glanced at each other. Then, they enteted the door.
It was like the ants had led them somewhere on purpose.
Golden ants of path.
They landed in a big wardrobe
Both struggled to get up and opened the closet door.
No one was there.
They stepped out of the wardrobe quietly.
"Whose room is this?" Zo asked
"Aries" Fina said as she took in the dark purple paint.
They looked round the room. It was just like any other room in the castle.
"Why are we here?" Zo asked
They searched through the room and came up with nothing.
Something clicked inside Fina and she felt for Xiana's ring on her.
She brought out Xiana's ring and raised it slowly to the door.
Something unbolt and the door unlocked.
Silence.
Fina swallowed before turning to look at Zo.
They were in Xiana's Kang old room but they had no idea who was residing in the room.
Zora's gaze landed on the books beside the window.
"Fin" She called.
Fina walked to the window and together, they searched through the books until they landed at a coded one.
"What do you think is written there?" Zo asked
Fina shrugged.
"Hold on." Zo said "I think since it's beside the window, the sun might be the key in decoding it"
She raised the book to the sun and the ink appeared.
"It's about the Ivy plant. Ivy studies." Fina read from her shouder.
Zo skimmed through the book.
The book have different pictures of the ivy flower and how to use them.
Zo put down the book.
"Ivy. This is her room. Her room is Xiana's old room" Fina said
The door unlocked and the girls ran back into the wardrobe.
They heard footsteps coming closer and closer to the wardrobe.
Zo swallowed twice.
The wardrobe door opened but they were protected by the clothes.
A hand reached over and Fina ducked. The hand touched a flower and Fina peeked at it.
Serene Berry's bracelet was on the person's wrist.
Jessica Young?
Fina glanced at the flower before it could leave her view.
"Milda" Zo mouthed.
They heard the footstep leaving and the door being shut.
Fina and Zo took a deep breath.
They stepped out of the closet and Zo did the telepathy spell which landed them back to their room.
