Ansela stared at the hairs.
Do these belong to the murderer? She brushed her fingertips.
"Ansela." Arimia's voice came up as she emerged from the corner of the corridor. Her face shone with swear. Seeing Ansela standing in the corridor safely, she ran to her and sent hands around her.
"Ansela." Her hug was too tight that Ansela couldn't breathe.
"That's enough, I can't breathe." She barely managed to say. 
Arimia released her grip and bent forward. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, why?"
"Mh, nothing." Arimia smiled. Ansela lifted an eyebrow but said nothing.
"By the way, I've got something."
She shoved grey hairs here's who's the murderous how can you say exactly she is mild I need to go somewhere that we can gather some dark energy." 
"Dark energy?" 
"Only it can help us in this case." 
Arimia stared at her for a few seconds, her lips pursed. "Are you sure about this?" she finally asked. 
"Pretty sure." Ansela nodded, gazing at those dark coffee brown eyes.
Arimia pulled her hand with a wooden key – her transportation key forward. 
every sorcerer had a transportation key that differs from clan to clan. it was made of wood, holding the shape of a key. According to Ansela's memory, the transportation key that Lucinia got was etched with sun, the logo of the Balghrim Clan. And the same etch could be seen on Arimia's key, and there was also a circle surrounding the sun's flames.
"Library chamber." Arimia ordered to the key as she touched it. 
With a single blink, they appeared in a dark room. The hexagon-shaped room lit up with two wands. Ansela sent eyes around.
The five out of six walls had covered with shelves filled with books, sorcery tools and potion ingredients, a cabinet with old documents and a locked wooden cabinet. a big table covered with a mountain of books and documents was near the other wall.
"Where are we?" she turned to Arimia. 
"Balghrim clan leader's office." 
"How can we get the dark energy here?" she lifted eyebrows. 
Arimia pushed the wooden cabinet to a side. It moved with a subtle creak, revealing a dark square-shaped hole on the wall. Arimia moved through the hole and pulled her hand to Ansela. 
"Hold my hand and step in. don't worry. Here's safe." 
Ansela hold her hand and stepped to the other side. with the light of the wand, she could see tall shelves and a short hexagon table with a few benches.
"A library chamber?" 
"A secret library chamber." Arimia corrected. 
"So how can-" 
Arimia walk through the thin aisle between shelves, dragging Ansela with her, and arrived at a hexagon-shaped space surrounded by bookshelves. on the floor, a grey mat was lying. Arimia pulled it away, revealing a smaller white mat. 
"You can try it here," she said, a light popped up on the tip of her wand. 
Ansela sat on it in the lotus position and placed the wand by her side. "why are you still standing? Come, sit here." she patted the mat, looking at Arimia. Arimia sat on the mat in the lotus position.
