Helping Daniella cope with the "loss" of her parents
created a bond as strong as if they were twin sisters.

They "did everything together", but told themselves:

"We WILL NOT go to the same university,
but CAN remain in the same US State."

"So we'll have TWO schools to party!"

Agreed.

Anyway...

They narrowed it down to two schools:

Oberlin and Kenyon.

After a coin flip, Daniella went to Oberlin and Rachel went to Kenyon.

After Daniella graduated with degrees in Neuroscience & Art,
she wanted to pursue a Masters like Rachel, but her grandfather
"requested her presence" at a family meeting.

There, with Alexander and other members of "The Illuminated Ones"
present, he informed her they were seeking a valuable treasure,
with clues hidden in The Rosetta Stone.

He further went on to inform her, it is a real Chess Service
somewhere on earth, that their family has been looking for
and with her help, they will find it!

"Welcome to The Illuminati!" It was Alexander, who - without
emotion, gave Daniella "a pin with The Van der Zee family Emblem".

From what is known about this crest, it has a shield, a mythical
creature, and one diamond in the center.
