Andrew's POV (Who else could tell this part?)

After school I rush home. I need to quickly change my clothes before going to the Palace. I can't look like this or they will never let me in.

When I've changed clothes I write a small note to my parents so they will know where I am. I walk quickly to the backyard.

"Shalambucarsa!" I shout waving my right hand over my head in a circle. Not even a second after I feel the spell kick in. I look down and see my feet starting to disappear. My whole body disappears and then I'm on my way through the dimensions to the Palace.

"Name?" The old lady at the desk, Mimosa, asks with a bored tone. I've just arrived at the Palace and now I'm telling Mimosa who I am and why I'm here.

"Andrew Kelly."

"Why are you here?" Mimosa continues with the same bored tone.

"It's kinda important maybe. Should I maybe write it? I don't want that anyone who isn't supposed to hear it would hear it." Mimosa seems to get what I'm trying to say.

"Write here." She gives me a paper and a pen. I write with neat handwriting: I have maybe found a Mystery. Then I show it to Mimosa. When she's read it she quickly rips it in pieces and looks afraid.

"You haven't told anyone about it have you?" She asks quickly.

"No. I'm not sure who I can trust and I want to be the one who brings her here if she really is a Mystery." I explain.

"Good." She looks calmer. "Did you say it's a she?" Mimosa asks suspiciously.

"Yes." Why would she not be?

"You do know girls are almost never Mysteries?" She asks.

"What? I did not know that!" I exclaim surprisedly.

"You should go and talk about it to the RAMH. He can help you most likely." Mimosa decides.

"The RAMH? I've never heard of that before."

"The Royal Advisor of Mysteries History. Second floor, to the left and the seventh door to the right." Mimosa explains.

"Okay, thanks! See you again." I walk towards the staircase.

"See you again." Mimosa smiles at me one last time.

I quickly climb up the stairs and turn left and start counting the doors on my right. They are quite far away from each other so I have to walk quite far before I find the seventh door. There is only one door left after it. The last door is smaller than the others and I wonder what it could be. But I don't have time to investigate that now. I knock on the door I am standing in front of.

"Come in!" I hear a mans voice shout from behind the door. I push it open and step in. The door shuts of itself slowly behind me.

The room looks like a small library with bookshelfs that reach from the floor to the seiling covering every wall except the two big windows on the wall opposite from me.

There are a few tables here and there in the room and most of them has a few books lying on them. One of the tables is covered completely by books and papers and behind it sits a man.

"I'm Conrad Fagra, the Royal Advisor of Mysteries History. What is your name and why do you seak my knowledge?" The man asks as he stands up and starts to walk towards me.

"I'm Andrew Kelly and I would like to know more about Mysteries because I've maybe found a new one. A girl." Conrad straightens up when he hears my last words.

"A girl? But that has only happened once before when the king found Her Majesty. Are you aure she could be a Mystery?" Conrad questions and turns back to his piles of books.

"Yes. I've seen her kill an ard with just a pocketknife. And she didn't even freak out after it. She just felt a bit sick." I can't still believe how she did that! Conrad seems to be intrested in the new information I've told him.

"An ard? Are you sure about that?" He turns around slowly. "Ards are really hard to kill. Especially with just a pocketknife. Not even the most trained of us could do something like that. You do know what you just said is practically impossible, right?"

"Yes I know but I saw it with my own eyes! You can replay the memory if you don't believe me!" I just need to find a way to show him that I'm not lying, even though it would be replaying the memory. Mum has told me it hurts a bit when they do that.

"Are you sure you want to do that? It will hurt a bit." Conrad asks concerned. I want to prove him that I never lie. Except if it is for the Palace.

"Yes." I decide.

"Okay then. Let's go to the MOR." Conrad says and walks towards the door.

"The MOR? Again an abreviation I have never heard of." I ask without moving.

"The Memory Openers and Replayers. Now come on, I don't want to waste time." He opens the door and I follow him. He walks through the hall and turns right at the staircase. He walks to the second door to the left. It's bigger than the other doors in the corridor. He knocks on it and walks in. I follow him into the big room on the inside. It looks like a laboratory and in the middle is a machine that I assume is the memory replayer.

"This boy wants us to replay one of his memories where he maybe has encountered a Mystery." Conrad tells one of the men and women who looks like scientists.

"Does he know about the pain?" The man asks.

"Yes he does know. Can we get it over with as soon as possible Max? I don't have that much time right now."

"Of course Conrad." The man who I assume is Max answers. "You," he points at me, "come here." He walks over to the machine in the middle of the room. "Sit in this chair. We will put this helmet on your head and connect a few things to your arms. Do you have any requests where you want them connected?" Max asks.

"Just so that I can cover them with a shirt." I answer.

"Okay. This may hurt a little." Max says as he puts the helmet on my head and tightens it so that it's as tight as it can be without squashing my head. Then I feel a slight pain in both my upper arms.

A few seconds later I fall into a dream-like state.

AN:
Hey look who didn't take forever to update! *Dances happily around her room then calms down because realises how stupid it must have looked for anyone who doesn't know what is happening.* xD

Question of the chapter: What's your favourite animal?

Answer: My favourite animal is probably guinea pig because I've had one when I was smaller called Olga. She was my best friend for the years I had her but tragically she passed away as quite young. :(( It sounds like I would be talking about a person haha! But she was almost like a person to me. She was really important to me. But yeah, so that is why guinea pig is my favourite animal. :) And I love horses and dogs and cats as well.
