Sardinia's Nuraghe[]
Scene: Mission Control Room[]
Stella: The voice said we need to head for the middle of the sea. Some islands filled with nuraghe. And then it said we'd find seven stones... or... was it seven stars?
Tecna: Sounds like our mysterious voice wants us to fly to Sardinia.
Flora: Sardinia is so amazing. I went there last year for vacation.
Tecna: That's right. It's famous for world-class beaches. But it's also home to something even more impressive.
Stella: Nuraghe! Those super old stone towers that the voice showed me.
Bloom: About seven thousands of them are still standing, scattered all over the island.
Musa: We're going going to Su Nuraxi, one of the largest ones.
Stella: Su Nuraxi, here we come!
Scene: Sardinia[]
- Flora, Musa, and Stella heads to Sardinia*
Stella: We're over Barumini. Tecna is right. Su Nuraxi is huge!
Flora: It's one of the biggest ancient structures in Sardinia.
Musa: Of course. It's pretty much the definitive nuraghe and has been a world heritage site since 1997.
Stella: Let's go down and take a closer look.
- They land on the nuraghe*
Musa: The nuraghe were used as lookout towers to watch over fields and livestock.
Flora: Or, to send the alarm in case of invaders.
Stella: I heard they might have been used to watch the stars. You know, astronomy?
- Flora sees the girls through a hole in top of the structure*
Flora: Hello.
Stella: The gem could be anywhere. The voice said seven stones.
Flora: Seven stones? There they are!
- Flora points to the destination*
Musa: What do you think we should do with them? Build a nuraghe?
Flora: No. It would be too small.
Musa: Make a shape?
- Flora and Musa try to use magic to form shapes from the stones but nothing happens*
Stella: Wait. If the nuraghes were used to watch the stars, what if we form a constellation to find the missing gem?
Flora: Great idea, Stella. But which one?
Stella: I don't know. There are like 88 constellations.
Musa: Trying them all will take forever.
Stella: There are seven stones... Maybe I got something! Let's try the Big Dipper! It's part of the constellation Ursa Major.
Musa: But why the Big Dipper?
Stella: Well, if you can see the Big Dipper in the sky, then you can easily find the North Star.
Flora: And sailors used the North Star to guide them across the sea.
- Stella uses her magic to get the stones into the shape of the Big Dipper and the gem and the barrier appear*
Stella: Got it!
Flora: Wow!
- The girls leave the nuraghe*
Musa: Yeah! Mission accomplished!
Flora: This is where I went on vacation last year. Here in Santino. The white beach of La Pelosa. It's one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Isn't it amazing?
Musa: Yeah. That bright blue really makes you want to dive in.
Flora: Shall we go for a swim?
Stella: We better get back to Mission Control. There are still four more gems left.
Flora: All right.
Scene: Mission Control Room[]
Stella: And when we put the last stone down and made the Big Dipper, it turned into a gem!
- Bloom puts the gem into the orb*
Musa: Today, we learned that you need context to get your bearings, just like sailors use the North Star.
Stella: We're halfway through our adventure. Only four gems left!
Bloom: I'm really curious to know who's behind all this.
Flora: But when we do finish up, we are going back to Sardinia, aren't we?
Musa: The voice... It's talking to me.
Bloom: Listen carefully, Musa. We're ready to go!
