Part 3: Story of Fei Rodriguez

They both turned around in alarm. Fei's bedroom window was shattered. They both looked outside to find out who it was. There was a shadowy figure: dressed in all black. Emma was shivering. Fei on the other hand was in deep thought. She kept staring at the figure (who realized that they had been seen) who was looked back at her and walked away. Fei wondered who it could be.

"HOPE I DONT HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS EVER AGAIN!" exclaimed Emma, de-railing Fei's train of thoughts. Suddenly, Fei noticed a stone on the ground. "This is what was used to break the window... What did the person want? Do you have any idea??" Emma shook her head and Fei started looking around her room. She spotted a small piece of paper. She picked it up and opened it. It said-

'I now know who you are. I now know where you live... the time shall come soon and you will await this moment. I sure await it... Fei Rodriguez' Emma stared at the paper and said, "This is marking ink. I have read about these in our school book: The Marvellous Grimplywood Creations of The 12th Century. But they are really rare... My father believes that they are not found anymore." Fei looked confused, as if she had not resided in Jupiter her whole life.

                                                    

Emma rolled her eyes and then took the paper. "I have learnt about marking ink," she said, "there are quite a few prototypes at Jamabara museum... I have studied those papers quite a few times... with my father's help of course... and I have come to notice one thing in common. See this bumpy and mildly glittering texture of the pen? This is because of  Grimplywood blood. These were made by killing Grimplywoods. Horrible honestly. But this idea was given by the Grimplywoods. I can't help feeling bad though. They were killed brutally. They were banned in the 17th century but did eventually come back after the Grimplywoods said that you can take the blood of those who have been deceased. Grimplywoods have a long life though and slowly the manufacture of these pens became scarce. It was believed by the 20th century that these pens are now so rare that getting one of these would be like catching smoke with your bare hands... and succeeding. Nowadays it is believed that they are extinct. I too hadn't seen one outside the museum... until today. It is supposed to be very hard to write with a marking pen. This is written beautifully... I wonder who did it."

Fei was staring at Emma as if she had single-handedly written all the data of Wikipedia. 

                                               

"Wait.. but if these are supposedly extinct, how did the attacker get it?" Fei asked. Emma looked excited. "THAT IS THE QUESTION INNIT!!?" Fei started looking around some more. Suddenly, her mother came back home. She called out to her, "Fei! Are you here right now?" Fei responded, "Yeah mom... I am up in my room." She had just finished saying that when her mom (who was a witch) apparated into Fei's room. "Here I- WHAT IN THE NAME OF JUPITER HAPPENED TO THAT DARN WINDOW FEI AMECIELLA RODRIGUEZ?!" Fei looked into her mother's eyes and said, "I haven't done it! Someone threw this rock at us and it came with this note that was written with m-marking ink... or pen... I think." 

Her mother's face suddenly went pale. "M-marking ink? Did you say marking ink?! DID YOU?! I need to call your father and quick." saying that, her mother apparated downstairs and Emma and Fei teleported (which is faster and quieter than apparition) downstairs as well. Her mother dialled the number really fast on the telephone (there, people have a special telephone which connects the moment you press the "RING" button and it is really useful in quick communication... very expensive though. It costs 14,63,28,492 heliums... approximately 10,00,00,09,528 rupees.) and then began to say, "Desmund... the prophecy...what we feared is happening. AAAAAAAAAAAHH!"
