We look back to Earth and understand that human intelligence
was not transferred from Dimitri Talbot to the Raven
during the curse, which requires the Raven to call upon
Dimitri for advice.
The Raven is sitting on a rock by the pool in the cave
where he has hidden the Crest, "Where are you," he calls
out to the pool?
An image of Dimitri appears in the pond and speaks,
"Have you found the Tome of Legends?"
"It's somewhere in the house. I saw the boy carrying a
silver box go through an invisible opening in the wall with
his grandfather."
"Invisible opening? What do you mean?"
"The grandfather waved his hands and shouted some
strange words. They sort of disappeared after they went
through the wall and ---"
Dimitri's image in the pool interrupts, "Chinese."
"Chinese?" the Raven squawks, "Chinese ... Chinese."
"Did you see anything?"
"No, nothing."
"You've got to find a way through the wall. The Tome of
Legends must be there."

Anza and his cousins are walking and jumping as they
move along the Path of Knowledge. The Raccoons appear
mimicking them.
Anza shouts, "What are you raccoons doing here?"
Metoo responds, "Hi. I'm Metoo, he's Notso."
"Oh-hh, I think that I'm going crazy."
