curiously.
"I want to go . I'm curious about the Council anyway. This just gives me the chance to check it all out," Kira said, thinking that if she played it off as a more casual trip, her family wouldn't worry.
Her grandmother, who had yet to say anything, finally spoke . "I think this is a good idea. After the message Calli got last night, I think this is Kira's path to follow."
The incident with the spirit had slipped Kira 's mind with everything going on and now that she reflected on it, it was coming true. She was grateful for her grandmother's support in the decision to go to the Council. Her sisters were all looking at her with worry.
"You are taking Brendan and Ronan with you, right?" Calli asked.
"Of course ," Kira assured her and then snorted. "Like they would let me go without them."
Calli looked at their grandmother . "Mamo, maybe now is the time to show them. You can tell Ari later but I think Kira should see the book before she goes."
Their grandmother nodded and then said, "Let's go into the dining room." She turned and walked in that direction with the women following behind her.
Kira looked at her sisters and saw they had the same look of confusion on their faces as she must have on her own . All of them except for Calli. Being the youngest, Calli had stayed home with Mamo the longest. She had chosen to remain at the castle and went to school online for the most part, only having to drive to campus on occasion. Kira knew Calli was aware of far more than she and her other sisters when it came to the magick side of their lives because of it.
Once they were all in the dining room, Mamo took her place at the head of the table and the women around her . She raised her hands and said, "Come to me through time and space, to share the past that we must face. Appear before me, I so command, so that we may have the knowledge in our hands."
There was a shimmering in front of them as a large, bound book appeared before them on the table . The young women all looked at it in awe as their grandmother opened the book saying, "This is the ' leabhar eolais ', the Book of Knowledge. It was begun by the first witch in our line and has been passed down through the years to be cherished and added to by each Five." She opened the leather bound book and the women all leaned over her shoulders to see the first page held a long list of names that went on to a second page. "These are the names of the Five for generations. They all have placed their spells and sage advice for the future generations as you will all do for those that come after you."
"Wow . That's amazing," Sheela said in a whisper.
"Each of you is able to call it as I did and it will appear to you as it did to me ," their grandmother told them.
"How did you know about the book, Calli?" Erin asked her.
Calli blushed and glanced at their grandmother. "One day about a year ago, I was trying to get a peek at what Mamo was doing in the greenhouse. I already knew we were different, just not exactly how," she paused and took a breath. "Well, as I crept in, I saw her reading in the book and then saw her make it vanish. That was when I knew there was true magick here, something I had suspected for some time."
"I caught Calli and swore her to secrecy . You girls needed a little more time in your worlds before you were brought into the magical one waiting for you," their grandmother took up the story. "Then she was suitably punished for spying," she added with a twinkle in her eye as Calli blushed again.
"So this book holds all of our secrets ," Kira said.
"Not all of them but yes, there are spells, incantations , and information that must stay between you five sisters. I would say your Guardians are allowed around the book but it is up to the book to decide," their grandmother answered.
"The book decides? How?" Erin asked.
"If anyone from other than the Blessed Five line tries to touch the book, well,
