Still perplexed, the five looked at the place where Diotima had just been sitting.
"Whatever that was, that was very strange.", Camilla said into the silence.
"Yes." It came monotonously from the others.
"And what do we do now?" Asked Meggi. "Wait or we'll look for the other three amulets.", Antoine answered and looked at Sasha questioningly.
"Search. I want to know what the whole thing means.", Answered this to the question posed to mute. The other four just nodded.
Sasha picked up the sheet of paper that she had been studying for a while and turned it over. "She said it was some kind of map, so she has to help us. Let's say there is the beach." She pointed to the small pentagram on the fire
"Wouldn't it be more logical if the beach were there?" Asked Meggi, pointing to the pentagram by the water.
"Yes, but on the beach Camilla found her amulet and that is definitely fire. And if we go afterwards and stay in the city, another would be at the ice rink, which would probably be water, then earth towards the hospital and air" Sasha sighed. "In the shopping mall."
"And where do we start?" Asked Jenny, who was really hoping that they would start in the shopping center.
"Not in the shopping center." It came from three sides at the same time. "Menno.", Jenny and Camilla grumbled.
"I would say we start at the hospital and then go to the shopping center and finally to the ice rink.", Sasha suggested, "And if we don't find anything there, we have to change our minds."
"And when do we start?" Asked Meggi, who still thought it was all a bad joke, it was all so unrealistic.
"Now!" Camilla announced and jumped up, accidentally brushing Antoine's arm. He grimaced in pain. Startled, Camilla turned around and said on Antonie's shoulder, which was reddening a lot and on which several burn blisters formed occasionally. "I'm ... I'm sorry.", Milla stuttered, eyes wide.
"Half so wild.", Antonie waved off, with slightly clenched teeth, and actually he wanted to go on, but Meggi interrupted him, horrified: "Half so wild? That looks as if you have rolled around in glowing coal."
"Meggi is right half so wild looks different.", Sasha agreed and pulled Antoine from the chair towards the bathroom, where she turned the shower cold and turned it on to let the cold water run over Antonie's shoulder.
She held the shower head for a moment, then pushed it into Antoine's hand. "Leave it on nicely," she ordered.
Meanwhile, Meggi had already started looking for a wound ointment.
"In the dresser in the hallway.", Camilla said when the blonde looked at her questioningly.
Then she went with Jenny towards the bathroom, where Antoine, who had taken off his T-shirt in the meantime, was still standing in the shower and let the cold water run over his shoulder.Jenny went straight to him and examined his shoulder and back. "Violently!"
Camilla, on the other hand, had stopped in the doorway and looked down on the floor, affected. It was her fault.
"Milla, that was an accident! Nothing more.", Antoine tried to cheer her up, "And above all not your fault."
"But if I had been careful, that wouldn't have happened.", She contradicted and automatically took a step to the side when Meggi came into the bathroom with the ointment and Sasha with dry pants.
It got a bit tight there.
Sasha put the pants on the closed toilet seat and grabbed a towel. "You can turn off the water now."
"Tell me, why do you know your way around here so well?" Asked Antonie as he got out of the shower with soaking pants.
"What do you think we're going to do when you're not in your room." Jenny grinned and made a little space.
In the meantime, Meggi and Sasha had started drying Antonie's shoulder and applying the cooling ointment to it.
"So.", Sasha said when they were finished, "you put on dry pants and then we go to the hospital. We wanted to go there anyway." Then she pulled Meggi and Jenny out of the bathroom and closed the door .
Camilla had long since gone into the kitchen to tidy up a bit. There was no other way she could help Antonie.
Now she was sitting in the chair she had already sat on earlier and sighing.
That was stupid, it was only because of her that Antonie had a 50cm² burn. She had only touched him briefly.
"Milla, come on now! We want to go!", Sasha called into her ear, because she hadn't heard the other 5 times.
"And how do you please ??", asked Camilla, "I can't sit in the back and Antonie can't either."
"He'll have to.", Sasha replied, "Besides, he's tough, anyone else would have screamed and howled."
Camilla sighed again, but got up and followed Sasha to her car. Jenny, Meggi and Antonie had already got in, although Antonie's seating position didn't look particularly comfortable.
"I can stay here too," Camilla muttered. "Nonsense, you're getting in.", Antonie contradicted.
There was an embarrassed silence throughout the journey. It was only at the hospital that Jenny spoke up: "Meggi and I will go looking for whatever."
Then she grabbed Meggi by the hand and pulled her with her.
Sasha and Camilla brought in Antonie, who was immediately taken to a treatment room.

Meggi and Jenny ran through the hospital park and looked around.
"Why are we doing this at all?" Asked Meggi, "That's bullshit."
"And if it does. It's still better than collecting around somewhere.", Jenny replied, "Besides, you took a close look at Antonie's shoulder? It didn't look like a normal burn. And that doesn't come from a simple touch either. "
"Yes, but ...", Meggi wanted to start again, but she interrupted herself when she heard a sob.She followed the noise and Jenny looked after her in amazement because she didn't hear anything. Absolutely nothing.
A short time later Meggi found a crying girl sitting in the grass, she was holding a brown teddy arm in her hand, the rest of the teddy was lying next to the girl.
Meggi didn't think she was more than six. Carefully she crouched down next to the girl. "What's happening?"
"My teddy is putt.", The little one sobbed and demonstratively held out her torn arm.
"Shall I help you? Maybe I can get him whole again.", Said Meggi and looked at the girl with a smile. This looked at Meggi briefly, then nodded, grabbed her teddy bear and pressed Meggi's arm into her hand.
She looked briefly at the stuffed bear, he had definitely seen better days.
"Do you know where I can get my needle and thread?" Asked Meggi the little one, who nodded and ran ahead.
The girl ran to a little house in the huge clink garden. "Sister Marise lives here, she always has what you need," announced the little one and knocked briefly on the white door.
A woman, whose age was indefinable, opened the door and looked astonished at Meggi.
"Hello Marise!", The little one called, "Do you have a needle and thread? My teddy is broken."
"Hello Jojana, sure I have it, but who is it?" Asked Marise.
"My name is Meggi Woods.", Meggi introduced himself, "I just heard the little girl cry and offered her to make her teddy bear whole again. And I wanted to ask if you could lend me a needle and thread."
"Sure just come in and leave the formalities.", Said Marise and held the door open so that Meggi could enter.
Jojana had long rushed in and made herself comfortable on an old brown, reddish-shimmering sofa.
"Sit down, I'll get everything you need," said Marise and Meggi sat down next to Jojana on the sofa.
It wasn't long before Marise came back with a small sewing basket, which she placed on the flat coffee table in front of Meggi. "Here please."
"Thanks.", Meggi mumbled and then set about sewing the arm back on. When she was finished she sewed the thread tight and bit off the end that was still too long.
"So ready. It should stop now." With a smile, Meggi gave the little one back the teddy bear. Jojana beamed all over her face. "Thanks!"
"I was happy to do it.", Meggi waved him off and got up. "So now I have to go back to Jenny, she's still worried."
"I'll bring you back!" Shouted Jojana and jumped off the sofa, too, holding Teddy tightly.
Marise took them to the door and said goodbye. Then Meggi went back with Jojana, where Meggi left Jenny.
Exactly there she was still standing, motionless, as if frozen. Only now did Meggi notice that everything around her was frozen.
Jojana giggled: "Don't worry, the time will keep running. Oh yes, here as a thank you. You will definitely need it."The little one pressed a thin, round disc of wood into Meggi’s hand; it was dark, but you could see the grain clearly. It had a diameter of about 5 cm.
"What is that?" Asked Meggi, astonished, but the little one had disappeared.

Midnight Kingdom, Castle of the Stars
Suddenly Mirana was standing next to him and Nero winced. He hated it when she did that, just showing up from somewhere. "Hello prince.", She laughed softly, "I hope I didn't scare you."
For a moment the little girl with the teddy bear in her hand blurred in front of his eyes, then a red-haired, maybe just twenty-year-old woman stood where Jojana was standing.
"Two of the guards are ready," she said monotonously, "I hope you have the boys here."
And as if called, the door to the huge hall was thrown open and Zero, Andrew and Lajos entered.
The latter gave Mirana a suspicious look, he didn't trust her, not a bit. Everywhere she appeared, something happened that would have a big impact, something that would change everything and, above all, something that was bad.
Zero, on the other hand, was absolutely thrilled, in his opinion there were far too few young and above all pretty women at this castle. Since this was just right for him.
"Boy, forget it right away.", A second Mirana breathed in his ear, "That wouldn't be good for you. And we still need you, who else is supposed to take care of the guards."
Then she disappeared behind Zero and was now on the throne. Put your legs over the armrest and support your arms
