Madeline's POV:

"Look at all these guardians!"

"I know, I'm seeing them."

I couldn't just believe it. The golden page showed up, and everything's a big surprise for us. Dane scanned the book excitedly. "That's Night Light Jace huh? Now I know why Sandman used the word 'knight' in the phrase. Night Light is like a guard or a soldier! He fights. Which makes him also a knight." Dane said, and Joy agreeing. Lewis went towards me to join me in some self-reflection.

"So, who do you think the seventh guardian is?"

"Probably a guardian in one of those pages."

We watched Dane and Joy scan through the book and admiring the guardians, including the ones in the golden pages. "Madeline, Lewis! I think there might be a new guardian here! Well, we don't know if he's new or what, but I've never heard of him before." Lewis and I went to them and just saw what they were pointing at. It was a tall man, with long beard. Much looks like Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings, he wore a blue robe, and holds a staff in his hand. He seems kinda calm, cause I think that's because he's already old enough.

"This is another guardian. Ombric."

"Never heard of him before too. Of all the guardians, he's someone anyone would never quite expect."

I narrowed my eyebrows. "Why wouldn't anyone expect he's a guardian? I mean, at least he contributed to something right?" I asked Dane and Joy. "I'll just read it so it would be clear for ye. 'Ombric is a tall, kind man. He has the mind of a genius, and strength of an average man. He has the interest for invention and all genius stuff, and created a haven for inventors like him called Santoff Claussen.' So, yes! Ombric wouldn't definitely be that known." Joy explained, and it all became clear. Ombric is just like a side-guardian.

"That means, we have to figure out who he is by the description!"

"Yeah, since Night Light Jace didn't give us any phrase."

Us four all thought for awhile, and suddenly Joy raised her hand. "You got an idea?" Lewis asked her. "About food? Yes! I want to have dinner after this." She said with a wide smile, and we all face-palmed. "Probably he's an inventor." Joy spoke again. "Of course he's an inventor! The book said so!" I exclaimed. "Unless, he's a technician in our school! Mr. Plum!" Dane suddenly spoke out of the blue. I actually agreed. "You're right! And, Ombric looks a lot like Mr. Plum too! Good job Dane!" He smiled, as if he's a great detective.

"Whatever, let's go and get this done with."

"Okay, but why are you saying that in a disappointing tone and manner?"

Lewis glared at me and sighed loudly. "Do you not notice the season? Next week, it's already Winter! By Tuesday actually! And we're wasting time. So, let's try whatever things if that Mr. Plum is actually not Ombric!" Lewis shouted. "Lewis! Can you stop acting like a child? We know next week is Winter, so please calm down. It's Friday, and Ombric's probably the last guardian we need to find. We already met Mr. North, Ms. Diana, Ms. Kirina, Bonnie, Mr. Crudkins, Night Light Jace, and there are 8 guardians left! So, Lewis! Please just calm down." I tried to talk some sense into him.

"8 GUARDIANS?! YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT WOULD TAKE?!"

"Lewis, don't shout back at me!"

He laughed. And laughed. And probably laughed more. "What is wrong with you?!" I shouted. "Madeline, can you not understand the situation? I need to go to the North Pole by Tuesday, when we finish looking for the guardians. Now, we have to find all 8 others?! Sorry, but I'll just quit." I can't take it! He's an arrogant boy now, huh? Well, looks like I just have to deal with him then!
