“Ask Halo if she knows how much time we have,” Charlie said quickly. She and Kire were still in the alleyway near the Norduke Library, the book pulled out to tell Kire about the horrible things happening in the Albus Realm. Kire nodded his head. “Okay, I will.” He dug around in his backpack to get a pen out, then he scribbled in the book. The waiting was t*****e. Charlie wished she could just read the words Halo was creating over Kire’s shoulder as they appeared like he could. “What’s she saying?” Charlie asked, even though only a couple of seconds had passed by since Kire had written the question. “She’s saying that… ugh, of course. She’s being vague again. She’s saying that we don’t have much time.” ugh“Ask what that means!” Not much time? Like I need to find the portal today? Tomor
