Ewan and Sarah go down the stairs towards the dining room where an elongated table with some chairs has been set up. Have the students all sit down. Mrs. Montgomery and the count, whom the girl has never seen before, stand in front of the table with two maids and the assistant Grace. Ewan then got up and joined the colonels. Mrs. Montgomery comes forward. She has a very serious expression, almost like everyone has committed a crime.

'' So my students and other magical beings. We have a new child with us. Come over here! '' She said. The blonde girl gets up and walks carefully to the lady. Mrs. Montgomery takes her in her arms, she stands behind her, sincerely, and says, 'This is Sarah. She's from Cliffton. Her mother Lilien was my sister and so I am her aunt! Please be nice to her, unfortunately she had to go through too much. She is here to take her exams and rule Clifftonfort! Do not treat them more or less than any of your other roommates. You know that. Do you do me like this I do to you! The residents have all started hiding in their rooms, and behind her people suddenly come up to her and introduce themselves. The maids, the gardeners, whom she hadn't noticed before, even the assistant introduces herself. And the count. He comes to the girl with a broad but muscular chest. He is about 2 heads taller than Sarah. She looks up, he opens his mouth and says, 'Nice to meet you, Sarah. We are here for you now, just get in touch ''. They shake hands, he turns and disappears. When the girl was about to say something, she heard a noise behind her. She turns and Ewan is still standing there. "Okay princess, it's time for you to go to bed." He says as he turns around. '' Um ... okay. Isn't it too early? '' Sarah looks at a clock above a door. It's already half past nine in the morning. '' What !? How is that possible? '' '' Here, the clocks run very differently, '' says Ewan.

Sarah goes back upstairs, takes a book and starts reading. When it got later she puts the book aside. "I will continue reading tomorrow," she says and sits down on the bed to change. She takes off her chain. The pendant shows a blue spider lily, which she got from her mother. The girl lays the necklace on her next table and lies down in bed, turns off the lights and turns to the window to look at the moon. She and her mother used to love to look at the moon and guess how many people who have been lost are looking down there. She slowly drifts away and falls into a deep sleep.

02:47 The pendant begins to glow slightly blue. He floats quietly, carefully and unnoticed through the room, slips through the keyhole and towards the basement. What is there?
