Keeping one eye on the hands still holding the box, Astra said. "I've got
an idea. I'll go and look for Manathus and see what he has to say. Perhaps
he might have something for you to write it down on." Fred thought for a moment and nodded his agreement. He realised that there would be no point arguing. After asking Fred where he found Manathus, she set off. Around twenty minutes later Fred heard her call his name. Looking around, he saw that she was standing several metres away, and seemingly unwilling to move closer. She held a piece of parchment in one hand, and an inkpot with a quill in the other. Fred started to walk towards her, but halted when the loud humming from the box suddenly ceased. He looked over his shoulder and noticed that the inscription on the side of the box had gone dark, but more importantly that the hands had disappeared. Astra had noticed it, too, and he could sense her relief that she'd stopped short like she had.
