“Yeah,” I said. “There are definitely digging sounds coming from the other side. My mother didn’t sneak in here, she snuck into a nearby building! They’re tunneling into the Royal Archives!”

“Not—” Sing began.

“Yes,” I said, “it’s not a library. I get it.”

“Actually,” he said, “I was going to say ‘Not to disagree, Alcatraz, but it’s impossible to break into this place.’”

“What?” I said, sliding back down the pile of books. “Why?”

“Because it’s built out of Reinforcer’s Glass,” Bastille said. She was looking better, but still somewhat dazed. “You can’t break that, not even with Smedry Talents.”

I looked back at the wall. “I’ve seen impossible things happen. My mother has Translator’s Lenses; there’s no telling what she’s learned from the Forgotten Language so far. Maybe they know a way to get through that glass.”

“Possible,” Sing said, scratching his chin. “Though to be honest, if I were them I’d just tunnel into the stairwell out there, then come through the door.”

I glanced at the wall. That did seem likely. “Come on,” I said, darting over and pulling open the door. The two knights outside glanced in.

“Yes, Lord Smedry?” one asked.

“Someone may be trying to dig into the stairwell,” I said. “Librarians. Get some more troops down here.”

The knights looked surprised, but they obeyed my orders, one rushing up the stairs to do as commanded.

I looked back at Bastille and Sing, who still stood in the room. Soldiers weren’t going to be enough—I wasn’t just going to sit and wait to see what plot the Librarians were going to be putting into effect. Mokia was in trouble, and I had to help. That meant blocking what my mother and the others were doing, perhaps even exposing their double-dealing to the monarchs.

“We need to figure out what it is in here that my mother wants,” I said, “then take it first.”

Bastille and Sing looked at each other, then glanced back at the ridiculous number of books. I could read their thoughts in their expressions.

Find the thing my mother wanted? Out of this mess? How could anyone find anything in here?

It was then that I said something I never thought I’d hear myself say, no matter how old I grew.

“We need a Librarian,” I declared. “Fast.”
