Chapter 21

Dear diary
Last night I had a dream that the council decided to use pixie puffs as the postal service. It was so weird so I thought I'd inform you!
F out xx
"hey Amelie!" I yelled from across the courtyard.
"oh hey Flo!" she said her face beaming " fancy going to the library?"
"sure lets go!" I said and off we went.
"what's our strategy?" she asked
"well I was thinking just look for really boring or old looking books." I said with a giggle
"good idea!" she said giggling.
"shhhhhhhh!" the librarian said
"sorry." We said holding back the laughter as best we could.
"how about this one?" she said holding up a experimental mathematics in action book.
" I think it should." I said watching it "I mean, it looks old enough."
"yeah I agree" she said "do you want to do the first one?"
"I think you should!" I said
"ok then." She said
We went behind a book self and she whispered the words!
"mutatio!" she whispered under her breathe.
To our utter shock, the books ink started swirling around very fast and when it stopped it read 'tobbledooms and there properties.
"wow this is awesome!" we said as we carried on looking.
After about 30 minutes in the library the bell rang so we split the books, borrowed them all at the desk, and exited through the double doors.
"see you tonight then I guess!" I said
"yeah look forward to seeing you again! She said waving good bye.
Whilst walking home I explained the books we found to Liv and Becs.
"wow we can put them in the book shelf at home!" Liv said
"good idea!" becs said
When we got home I emptied my bag and started handing the books to Liv, who then passed them to becs, who then put them on the shelves. Some of the books read 'pixie puffs and their flames', 'rituals to perform', 'the elements', 'and one even read 'how to create a working toilet' but we had that down anyway! By the time we had finished it was time for tea. Liv cooked us up some chicken with carrots and peas whilst liv marinated it with her wind and some of my water and livs flavours.
It was actually a very enjoyable meal If I do say so myself. Oh and we had some lovely lemon water.
It was now time to go to the forest to learn some more.
When we got there we were greeted by our fireflies.
"hi flo!" she said
"oh hi steph" I said a little shocked "didn't see you there!"
"now you are all at a certain level and living on your own your are allowed to go to council meetings and the ones on tonight!" she said
"oh wow!" I said "where Is it?"
"well if you follow that path past oak right to the end you will see a bolder." She said "but to get through you have to mutter the words 'reserare'."
"sounds good!" I said "ready girls?!"
"lets go!" they said taking my hand and leading the way. We walked past oak, right to the end of the path and finally found the bolder. Becs whispered the words and the bolder moved. There in front of us, was a giant stair case leading very deep down. When we got to the end it was a giant stadium of sorts. We took a seat and a few minutes later the council arrived and sat at the marble table at the front. It was all quite boring but towards the end they asked a peculiar question.
"does anyone have any suggestions for what we could use to deliver your mail?" a lady said with a long leaf dress on and dark wavy brown hair.
I knew that dream wasn't just a random one! I raised my hand hesitantly.
As I did she pointed to me and a rather large acorn came flying towards me.
"what about pixie puffs?" I said startled about how loud my voice was.
"good idea." She said nodding her head at me. "thank you!"
After it had finished and we had climbed up that stair case again I could finally breathe a sigh of relief again.
"wow that was scary!" I said
"I know! She looked nice but her voice was cold and stern!" becs said
"anyway at least that's over!" I said
" we better be off!" liv said
"good idea!" we said jumping through the water.
That night all I could imagine was a pixie puff clanging at my window!
