“This is so exciting!” Ivy whispered to Flame as they followed Lyra and the others upward. She gaped as she and Flame stepped into the top of the observatory. They were inside the dome. Its curved walls were lined with cupboards and bookcases, with a walkway suspended above them. Models of planets hung from the rounded ceiling, and a huge telescope mounted on a frame dominated the middle of the room. Next to the telescope was a long rectangular display board.

Lyra shone her flashlight on it. “It’s a map of all the constellations,” she said.

She moved the flashlight around the observatory until she found a switch on the wall. When she flicked it on, the room filled with warm glowing light.

“This really is a towering high place with an all-seeing eye.” Lyra pointed to the telescope. “Spread out, everyone—we have a treasure map to find!”

Evie frowned. “Hang on a minute. The riddle said that the place where the map was hidden would be impossible to climb—only this place isn’t. There’s even a ramp for our unicorns. Maybe this isn’t the right place.”

“It could have meant the cliff,” suggested Sienna. “If you approached the observatory by boat, then it would be impossible to climb up to it.”

“Yes, come on, get looking!” urged Lyra.

Evie looked unconvinced, but she joined the others as they fanned out to search the observatory, pulling open all the cupboards. They were packed with ancient scientific equipment and books.

Ivy couldn’t resist taking a closer look at the telescope. It was secured on a cone-shaped metal mount in the center of the room with a wheel that allowed the telescope to turn. Ivy twisted it, wishing she could open the roof and view the stars. She spotted a button in the center of the wheel and pressed it.
