"FINE!" shouted Gabe, as he angrily marched out of the room.

"Gabe," said Mrs. Benson. "You're not in trouble. But you need to calm down! You're too worked up over nothing."

"Sorry," said Gabe, as he placed a hand on the banister at the bottom of the stairs. "I'm not myself today. I've been really anxious over the Knights' return."

"Someone's in a rotten mood," said Aaron, as he and everyone else watched Gabe climb up the stairs. "But let's not get off topic. What was it that Callie read about those instruments things?"

"That's what I'd like to know," replied Grandpa. "I can't imagine that anyone else in this room but me has even the slightest hint as to what the instruments are, let alone the fact that they even exist. It seems impossible for Callie to be bluffing."

"I'm not making this up!" exclaimed Callie. "It really does say what I've read!"

"Wait a minute," said Tamara. "Callie can read all sorts of mystical languages, because they're magically interpreted to her eyes, correct?"

Callie nodded. "Well, yeah."

"Well the writing in this tome is already in English, so what exactly is Callie even reading?

"I believe I may have a theory," said Rui. "This tome is protected by a sort of distracter spell."
