When she got back to the Summer Market, she found a beautiful diamond wand that fit perfectly in her hand. It had beautiful silver carvings done all over it. Zadia thanked the man that gave it to her and hurried to try out her new wand. The first thing she did with it was make some winter plants. Winter bloom flowers to be exact. Then she shredded the flowers, mixed them with cherry juice, and used her wand again to freeze the mixture. An hour later, she unfroze it. She now had a cure for frost bite! She kept a bit of it in a pouch she found and tied it around her waste. That way, if Puck was going to give Declan frost bite, she could cure him.

Zadia looked out her window. The sun was setting. It had been a long day. She walked outside and sat down on the bench She and Shar had sat on when she learned she was a fairy. It was a perfect

view of the sunset. The sunset was even more beautiful in Avalon than it was in the real world. When the sun was completely down, Zadia walked back up to her room. She sat down on her window seat and turned on the lantern. Sadly, the fairies had no electricity so if she wanted to do something after the sun went down, she had to use a lantern. Before she went to sleep she wanted to read a bit of the books Puck gave her. She found a spell that would shoot icicles out of her wand and a potion that was called Frost Light. The potion gave any fairy frost bite. That's enough studding for tonight, thought Zadia. It was time for her to get to sleep. She still had another class in the morning.

Puck came for Zadia even earlier than he did the day before. Today, he taught her a few more spells, like how to freeze just one part of a fairies body (like the arm, if someone was going to cast a spell on you.) and how to freeze yourself. At first Zadia did not know why anyone would want to freeze their self, but Puck explained that ice works as a great piece of armor and if you freeze just your hand, punching someone works even better. He taught her one other potion called Frost Light. She had asked him to teach her that one because the instructions in the book were not that clear.

When Zadia finally got let out of class, the first thing she did was go look for Shar. She wanted to look for him before class, but Puck came to early for her to do that. She check his room, but he wasn't there. She decided that Avalon was much too big for her to scour every street for him. She would just wait in his room until he came back. After all, he had to come back sometime, didn't he? Zadia started looking for something to do. She should have brought her books and her wand. At least then she could get some practice done. Zadia walked back to her room. She grabbed her books and wand and headed back to Shar's room. When she tried to open the door, it wouldn't budge. She figured that Shar must have gotten back, and locked the door. She knocked again and again, but nobody answered. Wait, these doors didn't have locks. How could the door be locked, when there was no lock? Puck! He could have done something to make sure Shar didn't get in his way. Where was Shar posted for the week? Didn't she hear he was watching the monsters? Puck could have hidden him in here to keep him out of the way!

Zadia tried the first spell she could think of, the unfreezing spell. Surprisingly, it worked! Zadia burst through the door, only to find that Shar had been frozen too. No problem she thought. I can just unfreeze him too! Only this spell had a lock on it, and Zadia had no idea how to break it. She decided to ask Declan, he was reading that magic book wasn't he? When Zadia found him, he was still under the tree reading the book. “Declan, how do you unlock locked spells?” she asked. “I...don't...know.” he said it so that each word was spread apart. ““Who gave you that book?” Zadia questioned. “Puck.” Puck must have put a spell on the book! No wonder Declan didn’t leave his spot for 3 days! Zadia was not happy with Puck at all! She decided to ask Puck how to unlock spells.
