Eliana lifted it and held it carefully in her palms, realizing exactly what it was: it was it was the gem stolen by the Blackout
Burglar from her dream!
Eliana grinned at the delightful magic. Soon, she discovered
that deeper in the zipper pocket was a small article from an old
newspaper.
“Infamous Blackout Burglar Caught After Tripping Over
Cardboard Boxes,” Eliana said out loud. Then she smirked,
for she had been the reason that the culprit was captured, and
she felt proud and victorious. “I did that,” Eliana said, and
she sighed and fell back into the grass, gazing up at the magical weeping willow whose leaves swayed wisely in the autumn
breeze.
