Crowley and the girls headed down the hallway towards the library to see if there was any information about their home or anything that might be able to send them back. With a flick of his wrist, Crowley lit up the library and he quickly got to work, going over from book to book.

The girls stood where they were for a short while as they had no idea where to start, but they knew that they had to do something rather than stand around doing nothing. So they walked from shelf to shelf, each taking a book in their hands and started searching.

The four girls took the time to learn what exactly the place they were in was. They studied the world map where all the names of the kingdoms were displayed. In the northeast, there was the Queendom of Roses and in the west, the Sunset Savanna. To the north, there was the Coral Sea, and there were other places like the Land of Scalding Sands, the Shaftlands and Briar Valley.

Despite the situation they were currently in, as they read through some of this world's histories and cultures, the four girls couldn't help but feel fascinated by how different this world was from theirs

At least 30 minutes had passed while the five browsed through the library. They've read through nearly every book, flipped through every page, and checked every map in the library, but nothing held a single bit of information about their home world or how to send them back to it.

"There really isn't anything. Not only the world map, but the name of your home isn't written in any history." Crowley said disappointedly as he crossed his arms and recollected his thoughts. The girls were greatly disheartened by the news.

"If we can't even get home... then what are we going to do if we have to stay here?" they all thought sadly. "After all... it's just as the mirror said: we don't belong here..." Crowley then looked at the girls suspiciously. "Are you truly from where you say? You girls aren't lying to me by chance?" he questioned the girls as he stared them down.

The four girls all tensed up as they took a step away from him. Alice quickly shook her head. "Oh, no, Headmaster. I assure you; we would never lie." she said honestly. Crowley looked Alice over and stared deep into her sky-blue eyes.
