Magical Creatures 11 - Steve Elliott - Bog

The Ruins: Not everything is as it seems. This is a lesson soon to be discovered by David, Carl, Vivian, Simone and Vanish. Thanks to the magic of Mel, they embark on a visit to another world, where they encounter a set of ruins, which may, or may not, be of alien origin. However, the artifact they discover in those ruins causes an astonishing and surprising development in their lives. Their ordered existence descends into utter chaos, as they struggle to comprehend what has happened. But, as they frantically attempt to rectify the situation, it is obvious there will be no easy fix to their problem. It is up to Vanish, with his ingrained ability to notice even the tiniest detail, to come up with a solution, although it proves to be a very dangerous remedy indeed. Along the way, they thwart a power-mad megalomaniac, who has plans to conquer Earth, and all the other planets as well. If he isn't stopped, then death and destruction will ensue. Doppelganger: David, Vivian, Simone and Vanish appeared to be settling into an organized family life. But something sinister was about to happen. However, before that, Carl and Irene announced their wedding. This joyous announcement then sparked Vivian's interest in participating in a double wedding. David enthusiastically agrees and the wedding plans are put into motion. However, before that can happen, Vanish finds a mysterious intruder in the house - one who can apparently enter and depart through locked doors and windows without leaving a trace. Naturally enough, a magical creature is suspected, and Mel is caught up in the investigation. But the answer is far from clear. The presence of a creature is conformed, but there's a mystery attached, because the creature isn't really a creature at all. In fact, when David and Carl finally track it down, they experience a substantial shock. The confusion mounts when Vivian disappears and it takes a concerted effort to find her. But, in the end, it's a totally unexpected life-changing decision from Simone that truly confounds everyone.
