Misty and her siblings had been searching the library for a few days and had not found anything. Fern and Willa were looking outside the library. They didn't find anything that day but by the next morning, Willa had the clue. She said she had gone back to the old village and searched for it. She said her mother had been searching for the ancient kingdom most of her life. Before her mother died Willa suspected she had found the clue. Sure enough, she found it in a small fireproof flower. The clue was written in many different languages. The ones she understood were human, Moonling, and dragon. After asking around to see if anyone could read it, they pieced the whole note together. Willa read it aloud. It said "In a secret cave

In a human place called Idaho

The magic will call you

To the right place.

There were some notes from Willa's Mom on the bottom. Secret cave--probably in the mountains. I have no idea what an Idaho is! Will need to ask humans. The magic will call you. Probably a really strong magical item that we will be able to sense.

"Wow! That is a lot of information to take in" said Aqua. "Hey, do any of you know what an Idaho is? yelled Ember. Ava nodded and said, "I kind of know where it is." "Then let's get going!" she said excitedly. "Wait!" said a loud voice. Everybody turned around. Shimmerstone was standing there. "I am not letting my people go on an adventure based on information from humans". "Shimmerstone" yelled Willa, "I trust these humans. If you don't let us go we might not have a home forever." "Let's get out of here," whispered Ava. "Come on. I'll show you where Idaho is." They snuck out of the fighting crowd. As they were about to leave, Misty stopped and looked back. She saw Willa take back every healing spell she had ever put on Shimmerstone. In anger, Shimmerstone fired her tail lazer at Willa. She saw both moonlings fall to the ground and the humans rushing them to the healing house. Then she turned and walked away, tears flowing down her face.
