As Ffion watched the strange creature in her special garden (well, it wasn't really 'just hers' - but she was in it the most so in her mind it was 'hers'), she knew she needed to go home and tell her father so he could do something about it. "After all," she thought, "it wasn't like she invited the creature in the first place." Seeing her father sitting in his chair, she started to tell him what was happening "Father, father, there is..." but before she could finish, Hunter, the Shadows' King, stopped her. |
"But Father, there is a stranger in the garden!" Ffion wailed. "It came out of the water and is walking over my flowers!"
"Are you sure it isn't just Scarlet gathering moonflowers for the Nytemares?" he asked. "Or maybe even Sneefle as he showed up to deliver a message from the Dowager and might be picking a few flowers?" "I know what Scarlet and Sneefle look like father!" Ffion said as she stamped her foot. "I have never seen this stranger before." |
"Could it be the Baron and Dowager?" he wondered, as his observers lost them after they entered the forest of the Sleeping Sisters. He thought that only for a second as he knew that they had been walking when they entered the forest and it would be very difficult for them to have reached the garden from where they were last seen. "Besides," he thought, "they are probably still wandering in the forest trying to find the Sisters". |
