Sunlight filtered through the small window. The wheater was pleasantly cool. The team sat around a small table. Aisha told Dion, the new teammate, how she got there. Dion didn't look so surprised, but nobody knew what went on inside his head. Kira told him why they went after the poachers, and then Aisha asked:
-"You said that your mother disappeared. Can you explain it more thoroughly?"
Dion looked sad, but he answered the question.
-"That's right. My mother, just like my father, disappeared, I didn't know either of them. Nobody knows what happened to them. The only clue they left behind are my mother's letters, but those are quite blurry too."
-"Ah, yes. What was that letter and the crystal?" -Aisha asked.
Dion shook his head.
-"I don't know that myself, that's what I'm trying to understand for 3 years now. I wish she would have just wrote me a normal letter and wouldn't left me with these riddles." -Dion sighed.
-"I'm sure she had a reason." -Kira said. -"She probably didn't write them for fun."
-"Maybe so..."
Dion went quiet for a while, until Aisha spoke up.
-"Could we see the letters she wrote? Maybe we can help."
Dion thought about it, then he agreed.
-"Of course."
Dion put a bigger and a smaller piece of paper on the table. On the bigger paper was this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My Dear Son!
Even though I cannot give you this letter personally, I hope that you feel, that I will always be with you. Big danger threathens our world and I hope that this letter will make you face your fears and one day you will be the one to free us. And don't forget, follow the signs!

-"What's the last part? Is this a language used here?" -Aisha asked curiously.
-"No, it's mirrored." -Dion said and he took out a small mirror, with that they were able to read the correct words:
"With blue will the way be built, with a tree near the abyss,
The west wind carries the smell of flowers, o what a bliss!
The tree's roots all turned out,
And surrounding it, crystal flowers sprout"
-"This was the place where the second letter was, right?" -Kira asked.
-"Exactly."
-"And what kind of danger she wrote about?" -Aisha asked worriedly.
-"That's the biggest problem. I don't know what she meant." -Dion said, looking worried. -"But let's see what's in the second letter."
The team looked at the other paper, while Dion held the mirror.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Titan protects the cave in the middle of the woods,
It's the darker there than in most neighborhoods,
But in darkness there is light,
It will illuminate the hopeless night"
