order to retrieve the Naming of Lights. Here the Lone Power rules, as well as his supernatural minions live. Nita retrieves the pen. The Wizards learn that both of the two Books are here. To return home they will have to read from the Bright Book by moonlight. They eavesdrop on the Lone Power's phone call to the archangel Michael.
