Cass grabbed the map from me, staring at the circle that had been drawn on the map. “Guys, this is Europe,” he said.

Eloise rolled her eyes. “Tell us something we don’t know.”

“This area . . .” Cass went on. “It’s Scotland.”

“Wait,” I said, pointing to the circle drawn on the map. “So this waterway would be . . . ?”

Cass nodded. “Loch Ness.”

“Wait,” Marco said. “Nessie is Greenie? How cool is that?”

“Wait, don’t people claim to see Nessie even now?” Eloise asked.

“Falsely,” Cass said. “It’s the power of suggestion. The legend sticks and then people see it for years and years . . . mostly because they want to.”

“‘It took Massarym a great deal of time to guide the Mu’ankh out of the lake and onto the land,’” I read. “‘He proved too unwieldy to fly through the air, so Massarym by necessity used the most dangerous Loculus of all, that of . . . de’alethea’ . . . ?”

“That’s got to be teleportation,” Cass said. “He teleported Greenie—but where?”

I kept going: “‘The beast was nearly dead upon arrival. Great was Massarym’s woe, and he set to restoring the hideous monster to life. For while he was gone, the architect Sostratus had completed plans for the greatest of all . . .’”

“Greatest of all what?” Marco said, slapping his hand down on the Loculus.

“That’s it,” I said. “That’s where the scroll ends.”

“Wait. What’s that guy’s name?” Cass raced to the hospital desk and sat at the computer there. As I spelled out the name Sostratus, he did a quick search.

Torquin, Eloise, Marco, and I followed, looking over his shoulder.

“Bingo,” Marco said.

Our answer was glowing on the screen:

SOSTRATUS: ARCHITECT OF THE LIGHTHOUSE OF ALEXANDRIA.
