"The Masquerade Ball is held in the fall or Harvest Moon Season. I hope to be back here by then. If we are, we might attend it only if we are invited. If we are not invited then we can not go. You will need to read the book, memorize the main parts and follow my lead. The first stop is a distant cousin that I have corresponded with. She is ok as far as I know. She had a daughter that is 17. She knows that her time of being a child is nearing." Mystique spoke as she wrote a few notes.
