Harry walked through the library section, he glared down at the shelves arranged in the shape of an arc. Ten rows and five columns, after the tenth row came the inner section. Believe me it isn't as complicated as it sounds. It's a typical area, after the tenth row came an arc that led to another hallway altogether. In that area held the hidden secrets of Drakken. It was nothing special the only difference was that instead of shelves, there was a chain library which had two five metre in length aluminum chains which held of each book in a designated area around the shelves, the aluminum chain held up each book firmly.

Harry walked over the library, he took a quick glance around. He for one knew Nicholi came in for something but he didn't know exactly it's contents. He found his way around the shelves. He took a squat, he lowered his hands on the floor as the dust latched unto his hands, he noticed the invincible foot markings on the floor, Then he walked straight to the inner section.

He looked around for a while, he found nothing. "Something isn't right." He whispered. He turned around, his eye caught a particular shelf besides the chain shelves. He walked over and took a glance, he found an empty hole in which a book was to be kept. He thrust his fingers through the whole. Suddenly the name of the book came to mind.


He can't possibly be serious the man thought to himself, he had spoken to Lord Zack earlier that day, and now he noticed that zacks suspicions had been confirmed. He looked over at another book that seemed to want a fall from the shelf. He quickly took it out glancing through it's pages, he found a page missing. The page of Alexandra drakken and her history. Certainly for one he knew Nicholi couldn't be behind this. At least that is what his sixth sense fed to him.

Certainly his suspicions had been confirmed. There is definitely a traitor in Kendricks. It was obviously not a student, they hadn't achieved that level of stealth yet, it was clearly within the ranks of the x-class or the elites he thought. But something in his head seemed to disagree. It couldn't be the elites they are all behind Nicholi, they were far too oblivious to steal something this complex. He walked around the room for a while. Then it came to him. Neither of the x-class could be trusted even zackery his own son. He resorted to meet with the noble one by himself, maybe all this melodrama could be sorted out . Or so he thought.

Nicholi watched as Harry walked towards the library section, he took a sigh of relief and hurried towards his mates who sat down in the tables section almost complimentary to the library. For some reason he stopped in his tracks and began walking casually. He pulled the mysterious orb from his blazer pocket.

He observed the red orb constantly. He noticed rune marking which circled the orb in stripes. He was certain it wasn't his , but well Harry is an old man, maybe he memory loss or something, one thing was sure it wasn't his. he had gotten to the tables section, He quickly swiped the red looking orb back into his pocket.


"there you are, took you long enough." Laurel voiced out. Her attention clearly directed at her phone. Nicholi gestured to speak but instead he didn't, he sank into the nearest seat around his fellow elites.


"so did Harry suspect anything." Tomika asked. "No, he didn't, he acted weird, he said I dropped a ball looking thing and I clearly didn't." Nicholi explained further. " don't mind Harry, he probably sees things ." Rotimi said. "so down business guys, did you get what you where looking for laurel." Fredrick asked. He kept a sharp stare at her. Laurel took a big gulp before deciding to speak . " well, um. Not exactly like, I kinda got information on the shadowlet stuff, so like it was the first princess of drakken that invented the technique but she was kind of held in custody, because the technique was forbidden, for some reason it wants stated exactly why. On getting to the page which held how she conjured the shadowlet, it wasn't there anymore." Laurel explained.


"what!!!!. What do you mean it wasn't there anymore, It couldn't just have disappeared. It had to be there, what did you do." Fredrick said his temper rising.

"calm down," Nicholi said interrupting Fredrick from lashing out, laurel began shaking a bit. She wasn't used failing the group and whenever she did, all she did was tremble in disappointment no matter who lashed out. " it wasn't her fault alright, someone was the wiser of us and took it first, it clearly not her fault." Nicholi explained. " well if that's the case what do we do now." Wan asked. He clearly understood the situation. "the is clearly a rat in Kendricks. We are being infiltrated, but by who. Whoever it was the person was clearly skilled." Tomika said. " and worst of all we are going in blind on this mission." Tomika said once more, she was clearly disappointed.
