nuzzling her hand with a cold nose.
    “We miss you.” Lyra rubbed against Emily’s dark jeans.
    The healer gently patted the animals, instinctively giving them a quick once over. But she said nothing.
    “Okay, let’s show Emily what we got,” Kara instructed Tweek.
    “Right. If you look here, you’ll see I’ve compiled all data on the current status of our quest for Avalon,” he said excitedly. “I have it all laid out on this chart.”
    Tweek touched a few buttons and brought up a colorful graph.
    Adriane read the bold headline. “Pie Chart of Doom?”
    “Ahem, this pie chart contains every variable factor in our quest. Each section represents a percentage of importance in the overall mission,” the Experimental Fairimental explained.
    The girls gathered round the computer. Every slice in the crowded pie chart was a different bright color.
    Tweek pointed at a red section and began. “As you can see, Spider Witch Controls Web takes up 20%, Shadow Creature Army on Web comes in at 33%. Meanwhile, Fairimentals Hunkering Down at the Garden is holding steady at 11%, while Ravenswood, Phelower Capitol of the Web, just beat them out at 12%.” He took a breath and rattled on. “Otherworlds Attached to the Web 20%, Mages Have No Idea How to Get Back Into Avalon 65%, Avalon is Full of Dark Magic 30%, and Dark Sorceress Inside Avalon is a whopping 75%.”
    “Tweek, this is ridiculous! That’s almost 270%!” Adriane exclaimed.
    “I’m using my own system,” the Fairimental defended himself.
    “You must have made a mistake,” Kara said, aghast. “We told you to prepare a chart detailing why we can’t give up the quest!”
    “With all our accomplishments!” Adriane chided.
    “You told me to assemble the data and this is it,” Tweek insisted.
    Emily, intrigued despite her resolve, squinted. “What’s that teeny little bar over there?”
    “Oh, that’s Mages Find Avalon and Win.”
    “.05%?” Kara exclaimed.
    “So, in conclusion,” Tweek concluded, “the mages, that’s you, have about as much chance as a—”
    “I think we’ve heard quite enough out of you,” Kara stated, closing the file.
    Emily couldn’t help but think how Ozzie would have handled the presentation. Always the optimist, he would have told them all that really mattered was their commitment and their desire to do the right thing. What she wouldn’t give to hear one of his rallying speeches. The furry ferret had been the glue that’d held the quest together. At least for her.
    Adriane frowned. “Tweek, there are other factors. Like what exactly the Dark Sorceress is doing inside Avalon.”
    “Yeah,” Kara agreed. “I don’t see that on your Pie Chart of Doom.”
    “She could be doing anything.” Tweek’s twigs puffed out in alarm. “Transforming into some horrible dark monster, preparing to unleash the magic of Avalon onto the web and turn us into horrible monsters—she’s surrounded by enormous quantities of magic. 80%! I better make another chart.”
    Adriane threw her hands in the air, exasperated. “We have to do something.”
    Kara fretted. “Even if we did get into Avalon, with the Spider Witch controlling the web, magic won’t flow where it’s supposed to.”
    “Unless it’s rewoven.” Tweek pointed a twig. “Under your  control.”
    Adriane and Kara faced Emily.
    “I told you, I’m not using magic. Period.” Her face was set in a blank expression. “You’ll find another way.”
    “There is no other way!” Kara exclaimed, reaching the end of her patience. “You’re the only one who can weave magic!”
    Tweek punched at the keyboard and a glowing map projected on the library ceiling. The pattern of diamond grids shone brightly. “As you can see, I have extrapolated a map of what the Spider Witch’s web looks like now.” Tweek’s jewel sputtered and sparked. “Pathways have been rerouted. Portals are realigned. The web is strong, which means without a total reweaving, she would control
