I found Mr. Darwin right where my mother said he was, and behind him, I found so much more. I tilted the book back, and felt something catch, then I stepped back. It was a good thing too. The entire bookcase rotated out into the room like a large door, and behind it was a room, just as big as our main library itself. Shelves upon shelves of journals sitting upright and face out with dates and names on them lined the walls. The real mystery was what was this room. I knew for a fact; the back wall of the library was the back wall of the house. It had always been that way, and through the window I had seen my father and many of the farm hands as they walked around the house. Of course, that was when I was thinking of the simple world. My time at the coven had opened my mind up to so much more, and that gave me the answer. This was a space that only existed for us, a magical room, accessible only through this door.

I walked into the room, which was decorated with the same wooden floors and plaster walls as our house was. Even the shelves were the same as the ones we had in the library. The difference between the two rooms was the desk that sat in the middle of the room, with a big wooden chair on rollers and a reading lamp. A pen sat on the right side of the desk, waiting for my father to pick it up and make more notes.

Simple white cards tagged the front of each journal with a handwritten label of the event and date. They were arranged on the shelf with the card facing out for easy recognition, and in chronological order. The ones on the shelves by the door started in 1917. These were journals my father started when he was really young. My gaze followed the journals around the room, behind the desk, and around the other wall where half of the shelves were empty, with plenty of room for more. I walked around, looking at each journal more closely. When I rounded the desk, I noticed a stack of what I had to assume were empty journals sitting there, waiting for a purpose. That was when it kind of hit me. I was standing in the middle of my family’s life’s work.

I pulled down the first journal.

Blight–1917

Problem:

All the cotton crops on the north shore of the Mississippi delta died within a three-week period. I believe that Jean St. Claire and Madame Laveaux stood in the river of New Orleans in either Hester or Covenant to cast this and allowed the current to carry it downstream. Initial study by myself and several other members of the coven found no evidence of blight north of Hester, so I believe this is the starting point, and finding such a point is of the utmost importance. If we are off when we attempt to reverse it, any point still left with the blight will propagate downstream.
