  Zee was pacing around the room, waving his arms in confusion and complaining. Meanwhile, I was being productive and finishing up homework.

  "How can you do homework right now?" Zee grabbed my textbook.

  I don't want bad grades. I pulled back my textbook.

  Zee snapped his fingers and with a soft pop, the book vanished. He turned my chair so that I would face him. "We can figure things out and you can go back to reading whatever history textbook you want. Wow, the history of pathfinders are so amazing!" Zee rolled his eyes.

  Give my textbook back, I think I've got it.

  "Really?" Zee squealed.

  My textbook reappeared and I flipped to the page about pathfinders. My eyes flicked through the pages and landed on a picture that I needed.

  Blue pathfinder's lead to the Forbidden Cities. I triumphantly pointed at the page. The clue given to us was the Blue Waltz. Perhaps we have to leap to a place in the Forbidden Cities!

  "YOU GENIUS! LET'S GO RIGHT NOW!" Zee screamed jumping up and down in excitement.

  Except that you forgot the pathfinder, we need the pathfinder that leads to the Forbidden Cities. I crossed my arms. Not only that, travelling to the Forbidden Cities is illegal.

  "Damn it." Zee mumbled. "There goes our only chance to the Black Swan."

  "Not your only chance," We heard as my bedroom door opened.
