I figured that consulting Boswell was the best way to figure anything out, since he was supposed to have stayed at home. Only he wasn't home, neither was the head of the Witch of Cornwall. The Knifingtons were our only clue, and they could get a little excited. I knew Basil had left for Samovar, that was to be our first stop. Rodney decided to stay at home, we figured someone needed to be there, especially if the Knifingtons had anything to say... Besides that it's harder to hurt a Rotting Corpse Boy with a knife anyway. If they told him anything pertinent he'd call us. At least that's the plan as of now...of course, what do we do for travel? I should mention Kathryn's hanging around, she's insists that I call her Kitty, whatever floats her boat, I just want to find Bella. It made me uneasy letting her go but I did, now this. We headed next door to the neighbor's, I figured that a man with such brains might have a keen way to travel. He hesitated when I told him of our plan and of the urgency. He led us to his attic, and from the attic he went to a trunk, which he opened, inside was a piece of curled parchment.
“When Magellan sailed his crew sailed faithfully under him. Though he perished they pressed onward. It was Juan Elcano who first circumnavigated this globe. Upon doing that this map was created. I have heard of several such odd events, when they happen an object of great power appears, these objects have been used to further their goals. Elcano used this to his advantage, traveling instantly and escaping many close calls. While the Cartographers of the world charted the globe he could cover it all in a single day. This is that map, by merely pointing at a spot you can go there in an instant. I give it to you because the consequences of delays sound dire. May it serve you well.” Kathryn and I looked
at one another and then I laid my finger on the map. She was holding it flat and grasped the corner. As she as pulled off with it she wrapped her arm around me and we were carried to the land of Samovar...
