Nobody knew how that happened, but everyone saw it at once.
- Follow me, - she called them and in two wing strokes she went upwards.
Unknowingly, the anubises followed her up momentarily.
- You see, it is your own internal reality. You have no limits here. So you may easily fly here. Everything you can imagine may appear before you in an instant. So I ask you be more careful with that, - the Baroness was reading their minds and explaining their thoughts.
Before, or more exact - beneath them there was a three-dimensional map, in fact, a giant holographic model of Earth. The whole globe could be seen but they have been about a definite place.
- Right here, - continued the Baroness, when they suspended among the dark starry sky above the forest, - there lies a path, - she seemingly drew this path with a feather,
- you have to go straight to the west across the forest, until you reach a wide river.

Next moment anubises found a water-rich river in front of them, which probably was even inhabited with crocodiles.
- You will need a float board, to go down the river. While floating you will see a giant bulls head. There you have to moor to the coast and let the float go. After that hold on to the west. If you see a cart or a wagon - catch them, they may be helpful for you.
A good few of trials will be waiting for you there in the city. You must only trust yourselves, and never break apart. The book is in the dungeon of the Ancient Hidden Temple. I am going to give you the Druids Crook and the Feather of Luck. And one more thing: if you want to have a contact with one of us - just think about the one all together. That is all for now.
- Holy God, that was lovely! I never flew like this before - said delightfully Arcy while opening his eyes.
- Well, that is gonna be a big journey. Coming to the path tomorrow by dawn! - told Augustus, - no way to hang around.
- Yes, Angelis is totally wasted now, he hardly has a color, and he has fallen asleep. I have got another message to you Augustus. You are ready, arent you?
- Yes.
- It is from Martha. She is searching for you. She has got lost between the worlds. Nothing can be done. But you will reunite again.
Augustus nodded intelligently. It was not as if he rejoiced. He was not the one to amuse himself with hopes. He live there and now.
- Thank you Baroness!
- And for now, take you supper and then - off to sleep. An early road will be tomorrow.
Having woken up as early as possible before dawn, anubises started to set for the trip. Bianca packed a brunch for them bread, jam and coffee. Having clasped each other warmly, thanked for hospitality, they settled to their trip, to west.
By calculations their time of arrival was noon of the next day.
- Well, guys, long is the road, lets tell stories each other! - induced Arcy, when their trip already took an hour across boondocks of mixed forest.
- Go it! You start. Tell us the most unusual story of your life, - advised Augustus.
- Okay. This all happened when I was three. I was an adult puppyfox enough. So Daddy took me to the hunting. I was so excited. We were stalking in the forest, when suddenly a shadow flew over by me! I was so scared, I moved backwards. The father asked me hard what was the point.
And at that moment I saw my Foxy Grannys shadow on a tree just behind Daddys back. She was sitting and she was watching me with a slight smile like she was making fun of frightening. When the farther turned back - no one he saw, of course. For some reason Granny wanted only me to see her. Some moment past we saw a willow grouse and Daddy chased it.
Since then Ive never seen her but I am feeling her unseen presence ever after.
- Arcy, look! The shadow! Is it your Granny?! - Sean and Stan, laughed.
- Yeah-yeah, surely its herself! Be careful! Catch birdie for a while! trifled Augustus.
