Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Belle, who had placed her hand to hover above the fireplace, moved around the ashes to hear a crackling sound coming from the fireplace as if logs of woods were burning but there weren't. It was her hands and the motion along with the ashes which were creating sound. The ashes which were grey and black had started to turn red, burning bright enough like they had caught fire and she had to move her hand higher to not burn her hand.
The ashes started to turn to pieces of papers, papers that were getting unburnt and those very ashes started to form to pages and bind until there was no more fire in there. She then picked up the book, running her hand over it and then opening it to see the spells and diagrams and drawing inside it.
