Ursula drives her two kids John and Sara to her sister's and brother-in-law's home for them to stay over for the night. In the backseat of the car, Sara was staring out the window seeing the houses and oak trees pass by while her brother John was asleep since didn't had much sleep from last night. It was nice to see their aunt and uncle again once a month, but part of her craves for an adventure, discover the unknown, and be accompanied by her brother and friends.

Like the time at the land of Magical Jewels, the home of Gem casters (Magic users with the ability to summon or manipulate crystals) with one of her friends; Amethsyt and her brother Zircon where they found the Crystal Caves to find imps made of crystals. Living, breathing bright glowing creatures that walk and talk. In Stonish, one of the may native languages in the World of Magic that most Gem casters and any other creatures made of rocks or crystals can speak in. Besides the fact the Crystal imps are capable to communcation and civilization, to be the source of power of Jewel Land to it's magic across the nation as well as other sources from other regions such as Flora and Fauna Country. 

At times things would get dull at home for Sara, even to go to Elements Academy to help her control her healing ability inherted by her father's side of the family, while John inherets more from their mother's side with the ability of an Empath. The ability to borrow any magic like powers from others and returning them to their rightful owner. Sara brushed a lock of her long blonde hair behind her ear (Which, too was also inherted by her father's side of the family) see that the car was beginning to slow down and stop. Which means that they made it to their aunt and uncle's place. Not in front of the house rather the entance of their library. 

"Alright you two, we're here!" Ursula announced while parking by the drive way, undoing her seatbelt and opening the car door. Sara did the same, but stopped almost forgetting about her older brother John who was still asleep. 

"John...John!" Sara called raising her a voice a little which it made John wake with a snort.

"Wha-what? Oh, we're here!"

Sara rolled her eyes in annoyance while John undid his seatbelt and got out of the car to join his mom outside. The two kids got out their cases packed with their set of clothes and their insect pendents. The pendents given by their mother since her side of the family within each member possessing a pendent of both species of butterflies and beetles, pendents that gave them abilites of which bug of pendant it gives. Sara has the Common Blue Butterfly and John having the Hercules Beetle pendent. As for Ursula, the Blue Empress since she was born a girl instead of a boy as intented. Their father on the other hand didn't had one of his own. 

"Okay... you two have everything you need? Ursula asked her two children.

"Yes." Except for an adventure. Sara almost said as she bit her tougue to not sound spoiled in front of her mother as John answered the same reply.

"Alright, call me if you two need anything... oh and John, don't be staying up late again. Just because it's weekend for you and your sister doesn't mean you don't a have curfew." 

Ursula kissed her son and daughter's forehead and telling them good-bye, before getting into her car and driving off. While they watch her leave, they turned toward the entrance of their aunt and uncle's library, headed towards to the dark oak door with a brass handle and keyhole. John rapped on the door for a moment  with his knuckles then waited with his sister for an answer. Before he could try again the door flew open, greeting them both with warm air with the scent of pumpkin and Hazelnut. Which are the appropriate smells for the season starting the month of September as their aunt would change scents depending what season and holiday it was in the library and at the main house. As the two kids stepped inside the library which was bigger than the outside, an illsuion in most homes and areas made rooms or foyers more presentable and larger than the outside.
