        Today will be a very special day because it is a blue moon. It isn't special because there is another full moon in the month, but also because it's the perfect time to search for the magical clam shell. 

             I forced Aimee to hand me over the crystal flask which contained the mysterious silver fluid, and I will drink it at night when the blue moon will appear, and then go to the woods. I'm still deciding whether if I should even drink it in the first place, but I have no time to be confused and indecisive.

              I am calmly await near the edge of the mountain. I just need at least one glimpse of the moon and I will sprint to the woods so I don't waste any time. What if all this effort is a waste of time? What if my desire to find this unknown, magical shell isn't even real? But I've experience enough time at Maman Majorie's palace during my childhood to believe in magic and fantasy. Basically I will believe in anything that could give me a chance to prosper.

               As I was starring into the cloudless, night sky, I see the edge of the moon rising above the mountains. I got up, held the crystal flask tightly, and started sprinting towards the woods. But I stopped.
