The group entered a big open room, the room was empty except for a marble pedestal. Sapphire approached the pedestal which held the eye of the soul. Her jaw dropped, it wasn't there, all that was there was a note, it read:
Dear Sapphire,
You don't know me but I know you.
I took the eye to test you, after all you already passed the first test. The key was put in that tomb by me. Now listen very carefully.
You may pass this test yet, but there is still one more thing you need to do. Go to the old library, there you will find the eye in a book with the name of the last Ravenwood.
Oh by the way, watch out for the demon.

When she finished reading she heard a growl, standing in front of her was a monster with pitch black skin. "A fellow demon I see!" Kyle exclaimed, he walked up to the demon "now what are you doing here? You are not here on duty! Be gone!" When kyle finished talking the demon swatted him away. Sapphire, full of rage screamed "hey you big idiot! It's me you want!" The demon turned and grabbed Sapphire, it started to squeeze her, Sapphire screamed "Help!" A burst of light filled the room, Sapphire fell miles down to be caught by Maxwell "mam? Are you okay?" Sapphire stood up and saw a giant angel with a flaming sword in front of the demon, with curiosity she said "slay him " the angel obediently raised her sword and sliced the demon in two, when the angel disappeared Sapphire collapsed the note in her hand.

She woke up in the Ravenwood manor, she was being watched by Arro "so, you're the one the prophecy speaks of 'the girl who can call angels to earth' who would of expected that?" Sapphire sat up "what happened?" "You almost burnt your soul out, you used to much energy." She remembered the note "we got to get to the library!" Arro pushed her down "when you are better! We can't risk losing you!" Sapphire then laid down and went to sleep.

In the dinning hall Cheshire and Maxwell spoke with each other "if what you said is true, why won't they just tell us?" Cheshire asked "because if they did Sapphire would not be able to be tested, they want to make sure she is the one" Maxwell explained. "I can't believe this! How did we not realize?" "Peace Cheshire, soon the Raven will confess who he is, then we wait for the lost soul to be revealed, remember the prophecy:
The girl who can call angels to earth
Will find child who is of Raven birth
A lost soul will be found
And the shadow kin will be sealed beneath the ground.
