Adding to the danger, that artifact is one of five keys scattered across the "hidden preserves" that, in conjunction, have the power to open Zzyzx, the demon prison. Grandpa Sorenson, the caretaker, invites three specialists to teach the children, protect the property and search for the artifact: The children learn that the statue that bit Seth is Olloch the Glutton, a demon who will continue to relentlessly grow in size and power until it consumes the person who it bit.

The Sorensons contact the Sphinx, a mysterious figure who caretakers look to for help and guidance, to try to solve Seth's problem. In that meeting, the Sphinx reveals that Kendra is fairykind, with the power to charge magical objects, and that Seth should remain within the protective gates of Fablehaven until Olloch is destroyed. Back at Fablehaven, the three specialists teach the children about their various fields. Dale also introduces the children to his brother Warren, who has been in a catatonic state for years. One day, Olloch suddenly appears in the Fablehaven woods, a place he shouldn't have been able to be.

Rise of the Evening Star

Combined with the discovery of a new, unauthorized addition in the registry of people permitted access to Fablehaven, the Sorensons conclude that someone must be a traitor. That night, Coulter convinces Seth to accompany him to the grove at Four Hills, the place where Warren lost his mind and where Coulter believes the artifact is hidden.

Upon entering the grove, Coulter and Seth are instantly paralyzed by immense fear artificially emanating from a revenant. At the last second, Coulter suddenly startles and thrusts something into Seth's mouth.

Seth is immediately enveloped in a protective cocoon and the fear vanishes immediately. He waits a day before attempting to break out of the cocoon. Upon escaping, he discovers that the cocoon with him inside was consumed and excreted by Olloch, freeing Seth from the curse. Disoriented, he heads towards a beat-up mansion for a better vantage point and sees Warren's cottage.

Meanwhile, Kendra awakes and finds Seth and Coulter missing.

Upon discovering Coulter wandering in an albino and catatonic form, they conclude that Seth is dead. Then, Dale is caught in a trap intended to find the traitor. Suddenly, Grandpa Sorenson figures out that Vanessa is the true traitor. The fact that Venus was a "wandering star" soon became obvious to ancient skywatchers, who noticed its motion relative to the background stars, going from the eastern sky in the morning to the western sky in the early evening.

Nicolas Camille Flammarion, a noted French astronomer in the late 19th and early 20th century, referred to Venus as "The Shepherd's Star. Of course, Venus is not the only wandering "star" in the sky; there are four others that are also visible to the unaided eye five, if you include Uranus, which is barely perceptible without any optical aid on dark, clear nights. The difference is that, with the possible exception of Jupiter and, on rare occasions, Mars, none of the others stands out in the same manner as Venus. Nonetheless, somewhere in the distant past, "morning star" and "evening star" became plural in order to account for the four other planets.

But the distinction between these terms is not very precise. As an example, let me call attention to the fact that rising in the east this week, between 7: It will attain its highest point in the southern sky between 1: The giant planet is thus ideally situated for observations of its changing cloud bands and four big satellites for much of the night.

The fact that Jupiter is already above the horizon during "prime-time" evening hours should qualify it for evening-star status.

By the same reasoning, it is a morning star as well! The next planet due to come into view will be Mars , which rises soon after So, the Red Planet must be a morning star.

Because it seems In addition to being known as the evening star, Venus was also called the morning star because it could be seen for a few hours before the Sun grew too bright. The planet actually becomes brightest before the Sun rises or just after sunset. The ancient civilizations thought that the morning star and the evening star were separate celestial bodies. Pythagoras, the famous Greek mathematician, is believed to be the first person to realize that the morning and evening stars were actually the same object — Venus.

It began with Venus

The Egyptians had two names for the planets because they thought it was actually two stars. The morning star was called Tioumoutri, and the evening star was known as Ouaiti. Its brightness is caused in part by the clouds of toxic gases that comprise its atmosphere.
