Red Sea bannerfish (Heniochus intermedius), Red Sea, Egypt. The Red Sea bannerfish attains as maximum total length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) and is native to the western Indian Ocean where it is found in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It's associated with coral reefs where it is most frequently recorded as a solitary fish or in pairs, although large schools have been recorded. The juveniles form large schools, particularly in areas of deep reef where there is a low density of corals. They feed on both zooplankton and benthic invertebrates but the extent to which they feed on live coral has still to be determined. It is an oviparous species which forms monogamous pairs for spawning. It's collected for the aquarium trade but its collection is of a limited scale and is not believed to be a threat to the species population.

OLD THINGS BELONG TO SPERANZA
Winter melted into a bright, warm spring in the hills of Speranza. The green trees grew new leaves, and the village square was full of people enjoying the sun.
Inside La Pagina che Fa le Fusa, the air smelled like sweet orange tea and fresh baking. The shop bell rang with a happy sound, and Elio walked in.
He did not look like the stressed, rushed chef from the city anymore. He wore a simple white apron and carried a warm, covered plate. He walked to the heavy oak counter with a big, relaxed smile.
“Good morning, Moira,” Elio said. He set the plate down and lifted the cover. “I brought us lunch. I made traditional piadina bread, but I tried something new. I put fresh avocado directly into the dough while I was rolling it, instead of using it as a filling. It makes the bread perfectly soft, but the soul of the recipe is still the old way.”
Moira took a piece of the warm, pale-green bread. She tasted it and closed her eyes happily. “It is wonderful, Elio. You have finally learned how to mix the new with the old.”
They sat together in the comfortable velvet chairs, drinking hot tea and eating the piadina. They were no longer rivals. They were a team. Elio often came to the tea shop to ask Moira about wild herbs, and Moira often went to his kitchen to taste his slow-cooked soups.
Across the room, behind the heavy wooden counter, Moira had built a beautiful new glass display box on the wall.
Inside the glass box, resting safely on red velvet, were the two magic books. The dusty blue cover of The Days of the Dreams sat right next to the shining white leather of its twin. The silver sleeping cats on the covers looked completely at peace.
The people of Speranza did not know the scary truth about the shadows or the dark magic. Moira and Elio decided to keep that a secret to protect the village. Instead, Moira told everyone that the books were just very old, beautiful historical records of the town.
The village loved them. People felt a warm, safe energy coming from the glass box.
Later that afternoon, Marisa walked in from the chocolate shop, followed by Altea from the cigar house. Marisa walked right up to the glass box and gently touched the wood frame.
“I don’t know what it is about these old books,” Marisa said with a smile. “But ever since you put them up here, the village feels lighter. Even my chocolate is tasting sweeter.”
Altea blew a small puff of smoke and nodded. “They are good luck. Old things belong in Speranza.”
Moira looked at Elio, and they shared a quiet, secret smile.
Up on top of the glass box, Toe the black cat was fast asleep. Ashwaganda, the big ginger cat, sat next to him, watching the shop with bright, happy eyes. They were the true guards of the village, but today, they did not have to fight.
The magic was resting, the village was safe, and the tea sanctuary was filled with the perfect warmth of good friends.

Altea blew a small puff of smoke and nodded. “They are good luck. Old things belong in Speranza.”
Moira looked at Elio, and they shared a quiet, secret smile.
Up on top of the glass box, Toe the black cat was fast asleep. Ashwaganda, the big ginger cat, sat next to him, watching the shop with bright, happy eyes. They were the true guards of the village, but today, they did not have to fight.
The magic was resting, the village was safe, and the tea sanctuary was filled with the perfect warmth of good friends.

OLD THINGS BELONG TO SPERANZA
Winter melted into a bright, warm spring in the hills of Speranza. The green trees grew new leaves, and the village square was full of people enjoying the sun.
Inside La Pagina che Fa le Fusa, the air smelled like sweet orange tea and fresh baking. The shop bell rang with a happy sound, and Elio walked in.
He did not look like the stressed, rushed chef from the city anymore. He wore a simple white apron and carried a warm, covered plate. He walked to the heavy oak counter with a big, relaxed smile.
“Good morning, Moira,” Elio said. He set the plate down and lifted the cover. “I brought us lunch. I made traditional piadina bread, but I tried something new. I put fresh avocado directly into the dough while I was rolling it, instead of using it as a filling. It makes the bread perfectly soft, but the soul of the recipe is still the old way.”
Moira took a piece of the warm, pale-green bread. She tasted it and closed her eyes happily. “It is wonderful, Elio. You have finally learned how to mix the new with the old.”
They sat together in the comfortable velvet chairs, drinking hot tea and eating the piadina. They were no longer rivals. They were a team. Elio often came to the tea shop to ask Moira about wild herbs, and Moira often went to his kitchen to taste his slow-cooked soups.
Across the room, behind the heavy wooden counter, Moira had built a beautiful new glass display box on the wall.
Inside the glass box, resting safely on red velvet, were the two magic books. The dusty blue cover of The Days of the Dreams sat right next to the shining white leather of its twin. The silver sleeping cats on the covers looked completely at peace.
The people of Speranza did not know the scary truth about the shadows or the dark magic. Moira and Elio decided to keep that a secret to protect the village. Instead, Moira told everyone that the books were just very old, beautiful historical records of the town.
The village loved them. People felt a warm, safe energy coming from the glass box.
Later that afternoon, Marisa walked in from the chocolate shop, followed by Altea from the cigar house. Marisa walked right up to the glass box and gently touched the wood frame.
“I don’t know what it is about these old books,” Marisa said with a smile. “But ever since you put them up here, the village feels lighter. Even my chocolate is tasting sweeter.”
Altea blew a small puff of smoke and nodded. “They are good luck. Old things belong in Speranza.”
Moira looked at Elio, and they shared a quiet, secret smile.
Up on top of the glass box, Toe the black cat was fast asleep. Ashwaganda, the big ginger cat, sat next to him, watching the shop with bright, happy eyes. They were the true guards of the village, but today, they did not have to fight.
The magic was resting, the village was safe, and the tea sanctuary was filled with the perfect warmth of good friends.
