"Make sure to crawl!" Astral hissed to the others as she got on her hands and knees as Figure went to investigate whatever made that noise. She crawled over to a plant that was near the giant double doors and started to look for books. A green book stuck out of the bookshelf, and she grabbed it. Flipping to a random page, she read X = 3. The page tore itself out with blue sparkles and hovered in the corner of her eye. Another page hovered and she looked over to Liam giving her a thumbs up with a book on the floor. More and more numbers came and she suddenly remembered a important part of GL's message.

Get the paper

Astral crawled over to a giant desk and grabbed the paper on it. There was a little image of a book being taken off the shelf and opened. There were shapes with roman numerals below it. Then a padlock was being shown and numbers were being moved on it to match the roman numerals. Figure was coming downstairs, so Astral signaled all of her siblings to come over to the plant.

Astral deciphered the code as her siblings crawled over to her. Figure suddenly growled very loudly. Emile let out a yelp as she ran into a closet out of panic. Figure swayed in front of it. Emile. Astral prayed. Hold your heartbeat. When she opened her eyes, Figure roared very loudly and opened the closet. Astral squeezed her eyes shut as Emile screamed.
