Mira goes to the big old room. She looks at the shelf with books. She wants to find one book today. But the book is not there now.
Mira feels a little afraid inside. She thinks, 'Where can it be?' She looks again on the floor. The book is not under the shelf.
Mira walks around the room fast. She looks at many old books. She wants to find her book soon. But it is not in the room.
Mira runs to find Ivor quickly. Her face is sad and eyes are wide. She says, "The old book is gone!" "I looked in the shelf but not there."
Ivor looks at her with a hard face. He says, "That book is very old and strong." "Who would take it?" he asks with worry. "We must find it fast," he says.
Mira nods, her voice is small and soft. "I do not want bad magic to come," she says. Ivor sighs and starts to walk away. "Come with me to the big room," he says.
Mira and Ivor go to the big library. The walls are full of many books. They look at the old shelves carefully. The light is soft and quiet there.
Ivor lifts a thick book with care. Mira watches and tries to find the right one. They say, 'We must check every shelf.' The air feels busy but still hopeful.
Mira sees a small note on a table. She shows it to Ivor with hope in her eyes. Ivor reads it and frowns a little. He says, 'We need to search more places.'
Ned walks to the door of the magic room. He looks at Mira and Ivor quietly. He says, "Let us check the magic room."
Inside, the room is calm and still. Ned moves slowly and looks at the shelves. He touches the books and feels the air. He says, "Nothing is out of place here."
Mira watches him with wide eyes. Ivor folds his arms and waits. Ned thinks hard and says, "We must be sure." They search again, with soft steps.
Mira, Ivor and Ned stand in the main hall. They feel quiet and think hard. No one has seen the old spell book today.
Ivor looks at the empty shelf once more. He moves his rough hand over the stone wall. Mira watches a small shadow near the door.
Ned talks low and calm. "The book is not lost. It hides well." Mira nods and looks all around. They all want to find the book soon.
