Kyra!

Kyra!

Why are you chasing me?

I'm not a thief. I... I haven't done anything.

- You broke into the warehouse. - I didn't, I was... jumped there.

Kyra!

There's nothing in here about purple tentacles.

What are we going to do?

Kyra disappeared from my house. What am I going to tell her father?

- Please. - You're coming with us.

No, no this isn't right. I shouldn't even be here.

I should be at a sleepover.

Not interested.

Hey.

What's going on? Why were you in Bangkok?

What were you doing there? I didn't ask you to come after me.

You think I planned a midnight trip to Thailand in my pajamas?

You know my Orb magic always reacts when you're in trouble.

Kyra, I was so worried about you.

You hobgoblin.

What have you been up to?

It's a long story, sis.

Well?

Darra?

So, the purple tentacles kidnapped you to Thailand,

and Darra won't say why?

All I know is it's got something to do with some warehouse in Bangkok.

- Well? - Nothing.

You know what Darra is like, stubborn and bullheaded.

Like someone else we know.

Hi, I'm Tayla, welcome to the Gangway Cafe.

- What can I get you? - What she's having. Thanks.

- Coming up. - I haven't seen you here before.

- Maybe you weren't looking hard enough. - Or you just started.

- My, aren't we clever? - Just saying.

All right. Well, since we're sharing,

does your human friend know about your little secret?

Excuse me?

Your...

Fairy, huh?

Well, Kyra has a few magical secrets of her own.

Enjoy, Imogen.

Fairies have good ears too.

Where have you been this time? Oh, I forgot. You're not telling.

Ha-ha.

- That's new. - The professor painted it.

Said it reminds him of his home in Ireland.

- Hmm. - Speaking of the professor, where is he?

Good question. Professor?

Come on, Ladder!

Welcome! To the Eastern magic section.

I never knew this was here.

Well, it's an old annex that was closed up...

I redecorated last night.

Not a bad job. If I don't say so.

- Professor? - Where did he go?

- I'm right here. - How did you do that?

Chang's mirror.

Chang was a Chinese smuggler elf

who created this 400 years ago, to fool customs officers.

Certainly fooled me.

How does it work?

Oh. You look into the mirror and an exact double appears.

It's temporary but it should give you

enough time to ward off those pesky customs agents.

Should you ever have that problem.

- Why is all this stuff here, Professor? - Oh, it's not just stuff, Darra.

These are valuable, magical treasures

stolen over centuries by unscrupulous conjurers.

I'm cataloging these

so they can be identified and returned to their rightful homes.

I would appreciate some assistance whenever you can spare a moment.

Of course, Professor, happy to help.

I'm sorry to interrupt, Professor,

but we're scheduled to have a Bureau meeting.

Right? We'll reconvene later.

Cup of tea, Ladder.

What Bureau?

We, the Bureau of Magical Things,

do swear to uphold the laws of the DMI and seek a united future

when magical and non-magical beings can live together in harmony.

- When did this happen? - While you were away,

doing whatever it was that you won't talk about.

We are officially attached to the Department of Magical Intervention.

We get access to the current list

of magical outbreaks and choose which ones we handle.

Would you like to join the Bureau, Darra?

A kiddie club? No, thank you.

Oh.

Hey, you were really rude.

I know, it was dumb.

What's going on?

- I can't. - You got me involved in this.

I'm entitled to know.

Well, I hope your little secret is worth it.

- And Ruksy? - Present.

- Imogen? - Present, obviously.

Kyra?

- Present. - Thank you.

And Lily? Present. That's everyone.

I hereby call the weekly meeting of the Bureau of Magical Things to order.

- Hang on. We can't start without Peter. - Works for me.

Okay, coming. He's in the bookshop.

Hey, everyone, what'd I miss?

Hmm.

Hmm, that's interesting. More graffiti has been coming to life.

Like that frog yesterday?

Correct. There's a map of the affected areas.

Ow!

All of those in favor of neutralizing the graffiti

and tracking down the perpetrator.

How about we break into two groups?

Each group can survey our location and wait for magical activity to occur.

A stakeout. Love it. I'm with Ruksy.

Fine. I'll go with Lily and Kyra.

You go, I'll catch up.

I'm sorry for the way I behaved

and for putting you in danger.

There. That wasn't so hard, was it?

I'll tell you what happened but it's kind of complicated.

I'm listening.

On our way back from Europe, Dad and I stopped over in Bangkok.

I've been thinking about your future, Darra.

Sounds serious.

- And? - I want you to come and work for me.

Father and son, building a construction empire together.

How does that sound?

I already have a future with the DMI.

You need superior grades to be even considered for the DMI.

You're barely scraping through.

You know, I'm going to do better this year.

You've said that before.

- Dad, I don't want this. - You don't know what you want.

We'll work together.

You'll learn the ropes.

I've worked for years building my business, Darra.

You'll help me carry it on.

It's always about you, isn't it? What you want.

It's never about what I want.

In Dad's eyes, I was never going to measure up.

I needed to get away so I jumped south and ended up on this beach.

That was where I met Aroon.

Hello there! Aroon's the name, purveyor of fine antiquities.

Can I interest you in a watch? Very old. Very nice.

- Not interested. - Ah, I understand.

That was when he showed me his ears.

- Aroon was an elf? - Hmm.

Selling trinkets on a beach in Thailand.

I should've walked away right then.

A smart, young elf like you wants something special.

What is that?

Have you heard

of the Temple of the Purple Lotus?

Sorry. I'm not looking to buy any temple tours.

Oh, you won't find this temple on any tourist map, my friend.

- It's been lost for centuries. - Thanks, but no thanks.

The temple is a place of immense magical power.

Whoever finds it will win the respect

and admiration of the entire magical world.

What does that do?

There are three keys to the temple.

When you get close to one, the sphere will glow.

Find the keys, locate the temple

and everyone in the magical world will know your name.

If this place is so amazing, then how come you haven't found it?

I came close once, but there are other people looking for it too.

People I would not care to meet again.

So now, it's time to hand the quest over to someone younger.

Someone who wants to show the world what they can do.

Ten thousand baht.

Two thousand.

Ridiculous. There are many would pay ten times

what I'm asking.

Eight thousand.

Four thousand.

Take it or leave it.

See ya.

Okay.

Aroon sounds like a con man.

I thought that too.

But the sphere works, I've seen it.

So, if the keys to the temple are scattered

how did you know where to start looking?

Luckily for you...

the first key is not too far from here.

- In Bangkok. - Bangkok is huge.

Do you have any more information?

Everything has its price, my friend.

Go to the Golden Palace Markets.

The sphere will guide you from there.

Well, I don't even know how...

I found the Golden Palace Markets.

Just like Aroon said.

The sphere led me to that warehouse.

And the key is there.

I'm sure of it.

I've never been on a stakeout before.

What do we do?

Wait for something to happen?

- Is that all? - No. Then we wait some more.

This is painted by local kids.

So, where shall we keep watch from?

Anywhere you like.

Uh, Lily, you keep watch. I'll be right back.

- Where are you going? - Bathroom break.

What should I do while you're gone?

Try to look inconspicuous.

I can do that.

I think Aroon was telling the truth.

The Temple of the Purple Lotus is real.

Maybe, but is it worth the risk trying to find it?

Those guards meant business.

Well, the Temple of the Purple Lotus is a lost part of magical history

and those people are trying to keep it hidden.

- I need to find those keys. - You mean steal them?

Those people in Bangkok took that statue from its rightful place.

It doesn't belong to them. Like Maxwell said, they're plunderers.

So, you do listen to the professor?

Finding this temple would restore a lost chapter of magical history.

I'd be doing the magical world a huge favor.

And at the same time, gain a whole lot of respect.

And prove to my father that I'm not a loser.

And that's why I'm going back tonight to get the key.

And nobody else needs to know about it. Okay?

- How do we know if something will happen? - Uh, we don't.

But the maps showed a spike in magical activity here.

- Can I ask you something? - Sure.

Where do your wings go when you're not flying?

Uh, nowhere. They disappear when I want them.

How does that work?

I don't have to think about it.

It's like walking. You just learn how to do it.

It's funny. No one's ever asked me that before.

Um, what's she doing?

Bingo, there's our perp.

- Ha! Caught you in the act. - I beg your pardon?

Your days of mural mayhem have come to an end, fairy.

Or are you an elf? I have magic glasses, you know.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Is that so? Let's see your ears.

How dare you!

This is a community art project and I'm here to add my art.

And I think I will start right here.

Hey!

I think going back to that warehouse tonight is a mistake.

- You can't talk me out of it, Kyra. - I'm not trying to.

We should go now, in broad daylight. We'll catch them off guard.

We?

You don't think I'm letting you do this on your own.

I had no idea you were so sneaky.

Sneaky is my middle name.

So, what are we waiting for?

Hey, don't move!

Get him!

Thank you, Chang.

How do we know there aren't any other guards?

I've only ever seen one.

Whatever this place is,

I don't think they want too many people knowing about it.

Whoever they are.

See. The key is here.

If only we knew how to get it.

It's a trick. They're inside.

What's happening?

They're after the key.

What was that about?

It's like the statue wanted me to have it.

Good thing you came along.

Quickly.

Did we just do that?

So, what now?

Now, I find the other keys and locate the temple.

- You might not get so lucky next time. - Trust me. I'll be careful.

I'm going to make sure of that. Partners?

Partners.

- Well, I don't know, Ruksy. - But you just don't do that.

- Peter. - About time.

Kyra, present.

That's everyone. So, Bureau, how did we do today?

Peter got painted on by an old lady.

I let her off with a warning.

Nothing in on our end.

Except Imogen took a very long time going to the bathroom.

Hey.

I have to write something. The DMI expects a report.

What about you two? Anything happen?

- Nope. Not a thing. - Bit of a dull day, actually.

Hmm.

This better be important. I'm supposed to be in Shanghai.

- Where you able to trace their jump? - No, sir. They were too quick.

They were just a couple of teenagers. I have no idea how they found us.

Sir?

The key is gone.

That's not possible.

No one has ever been able to work out how to get it.

Someone has now.
