By the time Sophie leapt back to Havenfield it was somewhere around 7. So she took a shower, changed into pyjamas and settled down in her bed. Rewinding the day in her head.

What were these visions, she keeps getting these. She decided to tell Forkle. She stood up even though it was night leapt to Forkle's office with a special crystal he gave her. When she made it there she heard voices.

A voice she recognised as Teirgan said, "Forkle, about the prison's security"

"Yes, Teirgan" Forkle answered.

And then she heard it again, the sound of thunder. But this time there wasn't a flash of light. She only heard a voice this time.

"Κληρονόμο μου, φύγε από εκεί. Τώρα" it warned. (translation: Oh dear, get out of there. NOW!)

Even though she never gets a response Sophie tried again. "Αλλά γιατί?" she asked. (translation: but why?)

This time, she got a response "Όχι τώρα, κληρονόμο μου." (translation: Not now, heiress) But she wasn't a heiress, she was project moonlark! But whether it was the authority in the voice or the first instinct to trust it, Sophie found herself returning to Havenfield. Then in a flash of light and thunder. Sophie found herself in the same hallway she was in her previous vision.

"Έχουμε μια συζήτηση." (translation: we're having a talk) Sophie said. When she didn't get an answer, she added "Ξέρω ότι είσαι εκεί." (translation: I know you're there)

"Μπορώ να σου απαντήσω σε όλες τις ερωτήσεις σου τώρα, κληρονόμο μου." The voice said. (translation: I can give answers to all your questions, my heiress)

"Δεν είμαι η κληρονόμος σου." (translation: I am NOT your heiress) Sophie said.

"Φοβάμαι πως είσαι." the voice said. (translation: I am afraid you are)

Sophie shook her head, "Ποιος είσαι?" she asked. (translation: Who are you?)

"Φοβάμαι ότι δεν μπορώ να σας το πω αυτό." (translation: I am afraid I can't tell you that) Before Sophie can respond, she added, "Αλλά μπορώ να σου δείξω ποιος μπορεί." (translation: But I can show you who can) she said. Slowly a girl around Sophie's age materialized in front of her.

She had dark brown hair , pale skin and silverish-blue eyes. "Who is this?" Sophie asked in the enlightened language, forgetting to speak in Greek.

"Katharina Glenn" the voice answered, in the enlightened language. Sophie gasped, that was the prisoner who escaped. But she asked another question

"How can you make me see these visions?" Sophie asked.

"All your answers lay with her and her friends." The voice said.

"Ugh! I can't get anything out of you" Sophie said frustrated. All her answers have to come from a prisoner!

The voice laughed, a soft and melodic one. "How about this, I can tell or show you any one thing you want, and it can be an IOU as well".

Sophie felt dozens of questions in her brain, but- "IOU, it is" she said.

The voice laughed again, "Quite the clever one aren't you?" it asked. Sophie smiled.

"Can I tell anyone about you?" she asked.

"No one, I'm afraid" 

"Why not?"

"You'll see" The voice said slyly. Then there was the usual sound of thunder followed by blinding lighting and when Sophie opened her eyes, she was back in Havenfield but there was a surprise waiting for her...
