"Airship!"
Shalelu looked at the large craft, her purple eyes sparkling with delight as she took in every detail of its framework. "Brigit! Celeith! Mister Owl! CJ! This is so! Much! BETTER! than a jet scooter! We can make it to Uzo really fast, and I think it's better than flying by... cannon!"
She took a toy cannon out of her backpack and held it in her hands, followed by a catapult. "Or a catapult!" she continued, grinning. "Or even a giant crossbow... I think I have one of those... nope. Must be in my other backpack... oh, well! This is gonna fun! ^_^"
Then she heard what Brigit said about CJ's interest. Interested? she wondered. "Hmm... maybe I should give him something, then!"
Digging through her backpack, she eventually found a brightly-colored pink and purple pinwheel. Taking it out, she then noticed several notebooks. Most of them were hers- old travel diaries, collected recipe book, and two pages of a novel- but the large, leather-bound black notebook had always intrigued her.
Shalelu opened the notebook, reading the writing within: Some of it was her father's, some her mother's, but the intriguing part was four pages of strange pictographs. There were a series of what her parents inferred to be an alphabet, followed by partially-translated sentence fragments. Some of them had hand-written translations that read, "EARTH(?)," "THREE (?) POWERS," "DARKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY," and "TERROR FROM BEYOND(? could be HELL?)."
Shrugging, Shalelu closed the notebook, put it back in her pack, then headed over to CJ, ready to offer him the pinwheel. All thoughts of the notebook's contents were quickly forgotten.
