we stepped inside. it was amazing! there was a large rectangular pond over grown with large lillipads. the plants and trees inside were overgrown also, but were still alive. it was as if this place had been frozen intime, and would of looked the same 100 years ago.
as we walked further into the garden, we had to duck low because of the tree branches. soon, we came into an open area that had stairs leading down into it. i could hear birds singing not too far away.
"come on harmony, lets find a place to sit" i said. as we walked, my eyes wandered over everything. it was just soo....magical.
we finally found a place sheltered by a particularly large tree. there was also an old swing next to it which creaked with the wind.
we sat by the tree and i opened my bag, pulling out the old book. "here" i told harmony as i gave it to her. "do you know anything about it?' i asked.

Rachel tried and tried. after about 10 more tries the log moved slightly. Rachel yelled," yes!"
she was getting better. she kept at it and she was now able to make it hover about 10cm off the ground. then after a few more tries she was able to make the log move in the air. she had finally learnt how to make it move in mid-air! then rachel heard an elf call," Princess rachel, your sister Evy....."
Rachel turned around and forgot about the log. it was swung at the fence and smashed it down. rachel looked at the crash," oh no! what have i done!"
the lef stopped and cought her breath," your sister Evy asked me to tell you that she would be in the garden today."
then the elf ran off again. Rachel had an idea, she put up her hand and began to move one peice of wood at a time. then she used both hands, she got better and better at it and soon the fence had been completly fixed. now she could go find Evy in the garden.

We had studied the book for a long time, each page may have been blank, but as we lay our hands on it, like ripples of water the words would appear momentarily. Harmony's magic seemed to have the strongest effect upon it. But we realised, that most of the pages were in the same ancient text as the document sent by damien. I pulled his hat tighter on my head and walked a little further into the garden with harmony and we had a rest for lunch. it was beautiful eating out in the garden. Harmony seemed to be having a lot of fun too. In fact, i dont think i had seen her that happy even back at the underground tribe.
I took out my sketchbook and began to draw again, to try and preserve this memory in my sketchbook.
Soon lunch was over and we were both scanning the pages of the book again. Suddenly a thought struck me, "can you read, Harmony?" i asked.
"why, of course i can!" Harmony replied happily.
"who taught you?" i asked.
"well, i sorta taught myself"
"really, then you are indeed smart Harmony."
"really? you mean it?"
"i meant every word i said" i told her.

"maybe, you can read what is in this book then Harmony?"
"i used to be able to...but i forgot"
"what do you mean Harmony"
"i dont know" she said sadly.
"well, maybe we will just have to learn together. when i read the letter i recieved from Mr. Damien (as harmony refers to him) there was the same writing there. and for a moment, i felt as if i could almost read it too. so if we concentrate hard, and try our best, we can do it for sure." i decided.
"yeah!!" she agreed.

Rachel heard someone call her name. she walked up to the steps and saw lisa sitting there with her head in her hands. rachel bent down and placed her hand on Lisa's shoulder," hey lisa. are you alright?"
rachel sat down next to her youngest sister.

Lisa did not reply to rachel so rachel wlaked off in search of Evy. rachel could not find Evy in such a large garden. Rachel sat down near the rose bushes, she had been searching and working hard all morning. rachel's stomach growld," i should probably have ...lunch."
rachel lay backwards and fell asleep.

i opened the hard leather cover of the book, it had a strange symbol on the front. I carefull ran my fingers over each page, just like a blind man reading brail, except i wasnt concentrating on the paper and little bumps....but magic and my own hands. Evy placed her hand on each page as we flipped through each page. just when i thought nothing was going to happen, one of the pages changed. The old yellowed paper, torn at the edges, became new again. And like rain from the sky, the words seemed to fall down onto the paper in splashes; revealing themselves. Bright flashes revealed coloured pictures and diagrams.
"yikes"
"yikes"
we both said in unision.

Rachel woke up. a slight breeze blew cold wind down her back. it made her shiver. she looked up at the clouds. they were like a piece of cotton wool pulled apart. it must be windy in the sky to make the clouds do that. rachel got up and walked down to the lake. she cupped her hands in the water and splashed it over her face. she walked over to the castle gates and remembered how she used to draw on the door with chalk when she was 5. the cleaners always got angry with her.
