That's it! Flora thought I can't just let Bloom mess with Riven's freewill!
This was the decision Flora had finally reached. She had been thinking about it all afternoon, and had finally chosen to try to find a counter to Blooms love spell. She first stopped by her dorm and looked on Blooms desk, finding to her displeasure that 'Powerful Jinxes, Hexes, Spells, and Curses' was not there.
Where could Bloom have put that dusty old book? Think Flora, think!
Flora looked all over their room, but the book was nowhere to be found.
I guess I'll just have to look up a counter curse in the library Flora eventually concluded.
After a few hours of searching through library books, Flora thought that a certain reversal spell she had found would do the trick. She'd wanted to look in the restricted section of the library, hoping to find a more powerful counter. However, when Flora had asked permission from the librarian, the woman just gave her a skeptical, suspicious glare and had snippily told her no. Apparently the restricted section was going to be closed for a while, due to some mysterious rule set up by Ms. Faragonda.
Flora was about to leave and put her counter curse to work, when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She looked back towards the restricted section, almost positive she had seen something moving amongst the shelves of mystical volumes. Thankfully, the restricted section was at the back of the library, and the librarian wouldn't have a good view of Flora lingering outside it, trying to get a peek inside.
She waited a few shelves back, that way whoever was sneaking around in there wouldn't see Flora when they came out. After about five minutes, Flora saw someone exiting the restricted zone. To her surprise, she found that she recognized the girl; it was the same fairy that had been with Helia at Red Fountain earlier that day. Flora's mouth dropped open.
What is she doing sneaking around in the restricted section? Flora wondered quietly.
The girl was carrying a book; it looked very important because it was bound in expensive green leather with curly gold font on the cover.
She's not going to be able to check the book out Flora stated in her mind.
Right! If the book's from the restricted section, then the librarian will recognize it at once. She's not going to leave the library without getting into a load of trouble.
However, the fairy didn't head to the front desk to check it out like Flora had suspected. Instead, she went to a zone of the library that few people ever wandered (this was the section on library that contained history books and autobiographies, a place where few fairies ever went near) and placed the book among the plain novels that roamed the bookcases. She then innocently pulled out a simple book, and went to check it out at the front desk.
"Last name?" The librarian questioned monotonously.
"Barne" said the girl.
"And your first name?" continued the snippy librarian as she looked up something on the computer.
"Madison" she stated.
So her name is Madison thought Flora. What was she doing putting a book from the restricted zone in the autobiography and history section? Pondered Flora.
It looked like she was hiding it. That way if she needs to find it later, she doesn't have to risk sneaking back into the restricted zone. Plus it's in a part of the library that no one ever goes near, not even Tecna.
She watched from behind her bookshelf as Madison checked out her book and left the library.
Something's not quite right about her
Flora then went to the shelf where Madison had hid the green leather-bound book, and pulled it from its nest. The title, written in shiny gold runes, read 'Alfea: a History of Triumphs, Spells, and Secrets'.
What could she want with this? It's just a history book. Flora's mind was in overdrive, trying to figure out what significance this book could have for a fairy like Madison.
But it was in the restricted zone; whatever's in that book is something that the teachers only allow certain fairies to read about. If Madison was sneaking around in there and specifically pulled out this book, then she's up to something; and this book is apart of it.
