the door and welcomes them as they sit to talk elanar tells Mortimer that she's glad he's here because her books need fixing she then starts to ask about Risa but Mortimer stops her and tells her they haven't heard from her at all elanar brushes it off saying that a child can grow without a mother and proceeds to tell how the women in her family like Adventures megie frustrated asks if she can call her mother leaving abruptly in adventure so reminds me of her mother elanar simply tells her that it's abandonment hearing this megie angrily storms

off from the dining table Mortimer follows megie outside and megie asks about her mother she's not a child anymore and can handle the truth she also thinks the book he wants is related to her mother but Mortimer refuses to tell her anything as they talk while sitting megie tells Mortimer that she sometimes writes about her mother but he doesn't like the idea saying written words are powerful later megie goes to Eleanor's library and sees a manuscript in a glass box she approaches it but elanar screams from behind telling her not to touch it megie tries

to calm her down saying she's only there to get a book to read but elanar is fixated on the manuscript megie then looks at it and starts to share her predictions about when it was made and that it's from Persia impressing Elanor Elanor then shares her story about traveling she's been to Persia and before that she studied in Paris telling megie all the places she's been to megie then asks if she can stay here and read a book promising elanar she won't ruin anything if I promise not to touch anything Elanor allowed her and she

sits by the window reading as she reads she starts hearing whispers and startled she goes to investigate meanwhile Mortimer who is going through the book he found is interrupted by dustfinger dustfinger tells him that when Mortimer refused to help him he turned to Capricorn before Mortimer processes what dust finger says he hears glass shattering and runs in the library elanar runs and tells megie that men are trying to break into the house when Mortimer reaches the library Capricorn's men have turned it upside down dustfinger goes to one of them and threatens him with fire from

his hands reminding him of their deal about no one getting hurt that won't be agree Mortimer tells them to leave his family alone but the men refuse and take megie as leverage to make Mortimer read to them Mortimer angrily confronts dustfinger and takes inkart back from dust finger's pocket the others take the book from Mortimer and HIIT him from behind making him faint outside the men burn all the books from elan's library devastating her they then take them to a car and as they walk dust finger grabs a book that is not burned yet and

gives it to megie but she walks away without taking it inside the car Mortimer gains Consciousness and asks where he is Eleanor and megie are also in the car after a lot of driving they reach a place with strange Landscapes they stop near an old building and Basta leads them inside inside are different animals like unicorns and flying monkeys that are not from this world they put them in an empty room and lock them inside elanar angrily asks where the animals come from and Mortimer finally reveals the truth the animals come from a book this
