"Midnight. Library. 5." Cricket read the words written on the neatly folded leaf they had found earlier on in the Glitterbazaar out loud. "We meet them at midnight in the library. Five. What could that mean?"
"Five...dragons will meet us?" Jasmin guessed.
"Five is too much." Sundew shook her head. "Maybe how many dragons should meet them?"
"Me, Blue, Cricket, Jasmin, and you," Swordtail listed. "But they don't know about Jasmin."
"So no." Blue thought for a while. "Maybe how many steps to take inside the library?"
"No, the library has nothing hidden inside it," Cricket explained. "I think we should go inside first."
"Um, is the door locked?" Jasmin asked. She tried opening the door, but it didn't budge. "Yes, it's locked."
"Can you pick locks?" Sundew asked.
"Maybe. I never really did it before. I assassinate, not steal." Jasmin stuck a claw inside the lock, ignoring Blue's horrified face. She felt a latch, but it didn't flick open when she picked at it. "This door is locked so only a key can open it."
"Five...maybe the key is somewhere on the fifth thing?" Cricket guessed. "Fifth stair...nope, there's only three. Fifth window? Hm. Only four."
"Cricket, who's this?" Jasmin asked. She was in front of a statue of a dragon with star-like scales scattered on her underwings. The dragon had a thoughtful face, and was reading a book. She had black scales.
She was a NightWing.
"Oh, that's Clearsight," Cricket explained. "She could see into the future like your friend could. She made the Book of Clearsight."
"Clearsight's a NightWing!" Jasmin cried. "I thought you said that you knew nothing about Pyrrhia!"
"We didn't!" Blue shrugged. "But you came along and told us about it. Clearsight could see into all possible futures, and she wrote the Book to warn the tribes about danger. She also made the SilkWings and HiveWings."
"You trusted a NightWing?" Jasmin started, but Sundew interrupted her.
"Hey, I think I found something?" She held up a key. "Let's stop arguing and get inside."
