evil world of darkness. These creatures known as gargoyles are the most dangerous of all to have ever come into our world. They come from a world of darkness called Darktess. They come to destroy and steal the Pilkingtons’ Magic Ring.
    The gargoyles first came to Rainbow City when I was very young. They turned my mother Alma Pilkington into a stone statue. They live for three things only, and those are to have the power of the Magic Ring, to turn everyone into stone statues and to remove all the rainbows from Rainbow City.
    Their powers are very strong and my magic was no match for their evil. I was unable to stop these creatures on my own. They have very strong, bat-like wings that allow them to fly at great speed, sharp fangs, horns , and a tail that turns people into stone. The gargoyles are related to the evil fire dragons and over millions of years, they have grown an arrowhead tail that makes them more dangerous than any other gargoyle.
    The only way I could stop the gargoyles was to call for help from the Good Fairy Ellen who told me their secret of how they were able to come and go from their world into ours. Their secret lies with a skeleton key which unlocks a gate that opens up a porthole allowing the gargoyles into our world.
    The skeleton key was entrusted to the Good Fairy Ellen, who had the elves escort the key back to Rainbow City where it was locked away for ever and a day in a steel vault hidden under the local bank.
    I dearly hope that no one will ever have to battle these horrible creatures again.

    Princess Lilly Pilly
    Aunt Ada gently closed The Witches Book of Timeless Memories . ‘That explains the bank robbery in Rainbow City. It’s all starting to make sense now,’ said Aunt Ada.
    A bright light that looked like a ray of silver stars began filling the room. It was the fairies, and the Good Fairy Ellen. Gabriella could not believe her eyes; Ellen was so tiny and beautiful. She’d always believed in fairies and now Edwina needed the fairies’ help.
    The Good Fairy Ellen gracefully waved her wings so she was closer to Edwina. She then waved her wand and in a softly spoken voice, she said, ‘I fear you are all in great danger. I’ve been watching over you, and you were very brave tonight, Edwina. The witches council is very pleased.’
    â€˜You saw me use my Magic Vanishing Potion?’
    â€˜Yes, my child, and now I am here to help you the same way I helped your Great-great-grandmother, Princess Lilly Pilly. I fear that the gargoyles had help from somebody in Rainbow City. That person broke into the bank, stole the skeleton key and opened up the porthole. You must find this person. They must be stopped.
    â€˜Now you must listen carefully to the secret I am about to tell you. Edwina, you are the only one who can remove the skeleton key from the gargoyles because you have the power of the Pilkingtons’ Magic Ring.’
    The Good Fairy Ellen told Edwina, Gabriella and Aunt Ada that the skeleton key would be found on the leader of the gargoyles, who attacked them earlier. His name was Gorum, leader of the Gargoyles of Darkness, and the key would be hanging on a black chain around his neck. She told Edwina that she would need to remove this key from Gorum because it was the only way to send the gargoyles back through the porthole to Darktess. The Good Fairy Ellen did not know how long they had before the Vanishing Potion Edwina used would wear off.
    Ellen waved her wand and a crystal ball appeared. ‘At this very moment,’ she said softly as she gazed into her crystal ball, ‘the Gargoyles of Darkness are planning their attack, so be very careful, for when the gargoyles return, they will be stronger and more dangerous. They will stop at nothing to get their claws on the Pilkingtons’ Magic Ring.
    â€˜I must leave now. I know you can send the gargoyles back through the porthole to Darktess, and I will be watching over
