In another place, Hippocoon land, in one room of castle Methonia, some people were gathering around a large table stacked full of piles of papers. Candles were burning and lighting up the room.
“I think we have some serious problem here Professor Finn. I cannot contact some of our students.” said a woman dressing in dark brown dress. She was no one but Professor Genevieve.
“Who are they?” said Professor Finn by his low voice. He was sitting on his chair after the table.
“They are students coming from Zuesias family, Amelinda, Heracles and Gwen.” said Professor Genevieve turning to a tall and handsome man standing next to her, Professor Oswald.
“Yes, they belong to my family.” said Professor Oswald.
“Have you contacted their family? asked Professor Finn, raised head looked on them.
“No, we haven’t.” said Professor Genevieve quickly, “There had some more serious problem. From sources I got, they may have used magic in place they live.”
“Oh Professor Genevieve,” Professor Oswald spoke up, “you maybe misunderstand something. It’s not the point this moment.” he stressed, “What we need to know now that is where on the world the children are.”
“But, they had broken the law.” said Professor Genevieve sternly, staring at Professor Oswald.
“It’s not important if you don’t find them.” said Professor Oswald.
“This is not the place you should argue.” Professor Finn spoke up. Professor Oswald and Genevieve stopped and turned to Professor Finn.
“Professor Genevieve, I think we should find the children first.” said Professor Finn by calm voice
“Yes, Professor Finn.” said Professor Genevieve
“The most important that is the children are safe. We can give them some lesson and let them have change to fix the mistake later. You both come to their homes and take a look.”
“We will prepare to go now.” said Professor Genevieve. She made her way leave the room at one.
“Do not draw attention too much Professor Oswald.” said Professor Finn.
“I will remember it.” said Professor Oswald. He turned his way and made his way followed Professor Genevieve. He caught on her and they quickly disappeared.
Only Professor Finn stayed in the room. On the table in his one side was a crystal ball. Professor Finn reached hand toward the ball and pulled it to him. He gently rubbed on it then looked through inside. Mist appeared and spread out entire in the crystal ball. Later, the mist cleared, he could see things appeared inside the crystal ball.

The next night, in back garden of Heracles’s home appeared three people. All of them put in wide and long cloak with hoods. Two men and a woman they are Professor Oswald, Professor Genevieve and the last Roger.
“I can smell it here, smell of magic.” said Professor Genevieve. “They really did magic.” she added seriously, “And further what they did is an ancient magic, not which used now.”
The ring on her finger light up. A scepter appeared on her hand.
“Emfanizomai.” she spelled, pointed at ground.
The green of the grass slowly disappeared showing up the shifting – circle. Ashes and dust were full on ground. It looked very messy.
“This is…” said Roger.
“This is a shifting – circle.” Professor Genevieve said at one.
“What’s it?” asked Roger.
“It is an ancient magic using to teleport.” Professor Oswald spoke up.
“Yes, it is.” said Professor Genevieve. “It doesn’t need spells to use. Instead, it uses energy sources from magical stones.” she added, stepped ahead to the central area of the shifting circles and stopped there. She bent down, dug and picked up the main magical stone up observing. It had turned very bleak and there had a lot of cracks on its surface. However, Professor Genevieve still saw a little light inside, a small bright spot which was as big as a pea.
“This magical stone is not normal.” said Professor Genevieve to herself. “Professor Oswald, come here. I want you to see this thing.” the voice of Professor Genevieve resounded. Professor Oswald and Roger immediately came to her.
“Look.” she said, handed the magical stone to Professor Oswald. He received and carefully observed it. “What happened to this stone? Why does it break like this?” he asked.
“I don’t know. But, the problem it may be more serious than I thought.” said Professor Genevieve seriously. Her voice had a little worry. “I can not find out exactly place the shifting-circle has brought them to.”
“What does it mean Professor Genevieve?” Roger spoke up.
“Three locations - this magical stone gives me three locations as I try to read it. The children might be brought to one of the locations or maybe each of them was brought to one. I’m not sure but the problem is really very serious. The locations are dangerous place.” she said.
“There has anyway to find out what exactly place they had come?” asked Professor Oswald.
“I’m afraid that I have to say no. We have to follow the trail we get from this magical stone” said Professor Genevieve.
“Chorizo” she called up, pointing her scepter at the magical stone on Professor Oswald. The magical stone broke completely. Small broken pieces slid out then fell down the ground. Later, on Professor Oswald there had only three of rhombic shape small pieces. They all had inside one light spot which as big as one third of a pea. Professor Genevieve took the pieces then tied them into silver chains. She gave Roger and Professor Oswald each one a piece.
“Each broken piece will always point in one direction.” said Professor Genevieve, “Follow the direction coming to the the place the piece stop showing directions. It may be the place you can find them.”
“Are you sure that we can find them by the way.” said Roger suspiciously.
“Believe it Roger. We will find them” said Professor Oswald. “I, you and Professor Genevieve one of us will find the children and bring them back safety.” he added then stepped away few steps. Professor Oswald lowered his body then suddenly black feathers appeared and wheeled around him forming a feather vortex. Seconds later, the feathers vanished. Professor Oswald appeared in the shape of a giant eagle which stood up, spread the wings. “I will go first. See you later.” he said then flapped wings and flew away.
Roger stood still, looked for the shape of Professor Oswald to vanish then turned to Professor Genevieve.
