We had finally arrived at Juliet's house. We went inside and locked every door and window that we saw.

"We need to talk to the voice and see how we're going to fix this mess," I announced. Soon after, we heard the sound of the voice in the air.

"We are in a sticky situation."

"We know," Juliet said in a slightly annoyed tone.

"What should we do?" I asked. "They cancelled out our spell. Do you think an orb might help?"

"No. That wouldn't be possible because the orb has a limited amount of power..."

"Is there any way that we can revoke a wizard's spell to cancel out another spell?" Juliet asked, becoming confused with her own question.

"Yes... but there is only one way to do that." the voice told us. "And it won't be easy. You'd have to cast a Revoking Spell during an eclipse that will occur on the thirteenth day of the month, at exactly midnight," it explained.

"Why does the spell have to be done on that particular date and time?" I questioned.

"Because ordinary magic isn't strong enough for this type of spell. We would need the strongest magic of all, which is the eclipse's. The thirteenth day of each month is when all magic is at its strongest." the voice replied.

"Well, I'm going to the library to get some books and see what we'll need for the spell," Juliet said.

"And I'll stay here and look for a calendar so that we know when the next eclipse is," I told her, "try not to get caught, and don't stay out too late."

And with that, we parted ways to go do what needed to be done.
