Twilight soon arrived at Lyra's house. The front door was locked and she even tried knocking a few times to get no response. Twilight then tried the back door to find it wide open. Upon entering she noticed that the house had been ransacked. Papers were torn all over the place, the furniture was smashed and turned over, this was the state Twilight expected Moondancer's house to be in. Not Lyra's.

"Lyra? Moondancer? Anypony home?" Twilight called as she entered the establishment, closing the door behind her

Twilight began to tread carefully among the scene to make sure if anything like a glass was broken she wouldn't step in it and cut herself. However, upon coming to upstairs Twilight began to suffer a coughing fit and found herself on the floor because of it. It didn't last long though as she quickly picked herself up and headed for the bathroom. There was blood in the sink. Twilight took a closer look and it was dried blood, meaning either something happened to Lyra or Lyra was trying something with a razor again. Twilight secretly hoped it was the latter.

Though upon entering Lyra's bedroom it began to look like the former option more. Lyra's bedroom was just as ransacked as the bellow floor. However, something caught Twilight's eye. Three things actually. A pill bottle that contained some meds still in it, but the label was ripped off. A guard's spearhead. And a few drawings that looked to be made by Moondancer. Twilight took all three of them and tried looking through the other rooms only to find all the doors locked. Twilight soon returned home and went to bed-

Twilight immediately woke up and went to check on what she found at Lyra's house. The pill bottle was empty. The spearhead was missing too. But the drawings she found were okay. Speaking of, since she was awake she decided to take a closer look at them. "SeeS Me, aT THe CaSTLe"

"Sees me, at the castle?" Twilight asked herself out loud

Twilight then took a closer look at the back and saw another message. "WHeRe THe TWo SiSTeRS ReSiDe". Twilight began to ponder and immediately came to the conclusion it had to be the castle of the two sisters the sentence was referring to. It's the only place that was remote enough for anyone to do anything without acting suspiciously in any way. Twilight made a mental note to take a trip to the castle once she got through analyzing the drawings. The other was just that of a tree with a circle and an X through it like the Operator. But the next one was three circles with an X through each of them. That raised some eyebrows. Twilight had seen the symbol before after looking through the other drawings after seeing the Operator drawing, but never more than one. Twilight put that drawing off to the side before moving on to the next one.

The next one was of the faceless pony again among a series of trees. The final one was the elements of harmony drawn as they usually are depicted as on the stain glass windows, except all of them are crossed out with a circle and X through them. All of them except for the element of Magic. Twilight became very perplexed by what she was looking at. Why would somepony take the time to draw the elements of harmony, and trace them all out except for the element of magic? Was it meant to symbolize something Twilight wasn't understanding? Twilight began to feel her head starting to hurt and decided to continue on with her investigating in the morning. She laid the papers aside and headed to the bathroom where she took some aspirin and went to bed. Thought that night she did have some trouble falling asleep because, despite the aspirin, Twilight could've sworn she felt a slight breeze pass by her back.
