Deltora Quest 3
The bow of brilliance
Chapter1- the kidnapping
The air was filled with laughter and joy. A carnival was being held to celebrate the return of the slaves. Jasmine wandered around looking lost. She was so happy that everything was well again but her mind was still troubled. She couldn't find Leif anywhere. He was supposed to have met her at the fountain an hour ago, but he still wasn't there. She was beginning to feel worried. He wasn't usually late. "Although" she thought to herself "he can look after himself. I may as well enjoy myself" little did she know this decision would have such a great effect on Leif, Deltora and her.

Leif walked around the carnival, looking at stalls and eating sugared treats. He was sure he was forgetting something important, but he wasn't sure what. He racked his brain trying to think what it was, but with no avail. But by the time he remembered, it would be too late.

Jasmine sat by the fountain, surrounded by flowers and trees. Her friend Kree the blackbird settled in a tree nearby. Filli cautiously came out from underneath Jasmine's jacket collar. Neither Kree nor Filli liked being around so many people. Jasmine knew this, so she whispered to them "I want to go back to the carnival to find Leif." She looked up to face Kree "Kree, I want you to take Filli, go somewhere away from all these people, until the carnival is finished." She placed the little furry creature on the blackbird's back and waved as Kree flew into the sky. Jasmine was alone. There was no one to see the approaching figures. No one to hear her muffled screams as she was captured from behind. Nobody to see her blindfolded and carried away by four figures in black. In five minutes they were gone, and so was Jasmine.
