Sky runs down the stairs again, only to tumble back into the room again for the millionth time. However, this time she found a window leading outside. As she re-opens the door, she walks down the stairs and looks outside the window to see the courtyard covered with stone statues. She was perplexed, however, she went back to her room and ripped the drapes off the poles, and made a rope that landed on the ground. She secured one end to a pole, as she shimmied down the drapes. Once she got down, she was horrified. They looked so lifelike as if they were turned in an instant. These people, were they real? Especially the man holding up something. It was a man who looked to be in his mid-thirties, wearing a robe that draped the floor as his facial expression was angry as something was taken out of his hand. Sky didn't know what he was holding previously, but she looked at his feet and found the inscription. It read
    "The courtyard shall be released after the right choice is made"
The right choice? What? Sky was confused, but she realized these people must've suffered at the hands of Narcissa since they looked a bit too lifelike. As she looked around, she runs back into the castle and falls into a library. As she hit the floor, she removes herself from the floor and dust her dress off before going through books for any type of clue. She even went as far as rot throwing books off from bookshelves till she saw one with a title labeled as "Avalon". She opened it, and read all about the history of this place, and sees as to what she had to do after reading it. She runs out of one room and sees her in the main, throne room
    "Morgana!"
Narcissa hisses as she turned her back, and snickers
    "Ready to play, my child?"
Narcissa turns into a translucent, enormous anaconda before slithering over to Sky and jumping into her mouth, disappearing her quickly into Sky.
