If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me, you belong with me

«It's an interesting substance. You see mercury can be both liquid and -»
«Ben!»
Farah and Saul watched Ben, while I carefully followed his every step.
I knew exactly what he was talking about, but they probably didn't.
«If someone had tried to enter your crypt, we might be able to understand what kind of magic he would have used»
I watched as Farah walked away from his desk to reach the entrance to the crypt.
«Are you sure it was Callum?»
«Well someone came in, and Callum hasn't been seen in days, that makes him the prime suspect»
Then he closed the entrance to the crypt, turning to us, and retracing his steps.
«Nettle amalgam is an ancient and unusual knowledge; and Callum is not a fairy»
«has been helped»
Saul lowered his head, sighing.
How come there's been more trouble in three months than in 16 years?
«this will detect the elements and the type of magic used»
Well took the container, while a large amount of white fog, spread around the room.
We all approached the library, which was the entrance to the crypt, to see if magic had been used.
Then the image of Callum appeared leaning against the jamb of the shelves, with his mouth open; blocked by the magic that Farah had used as protection for the crypt.
«Callum»
«he was killed by magic»
Ben took out a test tube and collected some of that essence to examine it.
«At least now we know where it went»
«yes, and that there is a murderer in our school»
Cross Saul's eyes and my first thought ran to Sky; and to the danger he could run.
I had to warn him.
The next day, I knew that Queen Luna would come to Alfea to talk to the students about the burning and the threat we were being subjected to in an assembly.
When I arrived in the square that morning, the students had already gathered near the benches, and were chatting among themselves.

I knew that Luna had already arrived a few minutes ago and that she was in the director's office at the time.
«i got it»
Ben caught up with me and Silva on the stairs.
Then Farah arrived in the square; and passing us, he made us understand that it was time.
Some of the students sat on the benches, which Saul and I had set up that morning; while the others stood at the end of the square.
I noticed the girls sitting in the front benches and I thought to look for Sky too, but there were too many students, to be able to understand where he was; and the priority now was to figure out who had entered the crypt of Farah.
During the speech, Ben, Saul, and Farah, and I, we distributed throughout the room, trying to locate the magic.
I could sense Musa using his power over us to capture our emotions.
I knew they knew something else was wrong.
And that only increased my anxiety and concern.
At the end of the assembly while Farah was talking to the queen, I reached Ben and Saul; who were discussing the problem, who had failed to find the person of the spell.
«Earth has understood that there is something wrong Ben, we must find out who was missing in the assembly, who killed Callum, now»
«How do we do it? By now some students will be back in the room»
«Farah is busy with Queen Moon and Star now, we have to find another way»
You sew the back of my neck, making me think.
«I have to find Sky»
«probably will be at the training camp, I think about it»
Saul left to look for Sky while Ben and I went to his greenhouse.
He sat on the bench while I looked at the test tube.
Maybe there was a way to examine it and figure out what element it was created from, so that we could exclude the other elements.
«is everything all right?»
«not now treasure»
Earth had appeared before us, and I hadn't even noticed.
I heard her sigh, then she turned and left the room. By now they knew something was wrong, maybe I could tell them. A few minutes later I got a message from Sky. «Ben there is a problem»
