"Prince Doctunzel are you alright?" Martha asks her voice trembling.

"Doctunzel! Breanna I need your help please come quick ouch!"

"Yes majesty are you alright?" Breanna says as a servant passes by.

"Yes but Doctunzel here he has become so pale and weak is he alright Breanna?"

"He will be Martha I have to get him to his room and into water. I believe in time he will be able to gain his strength back. I must get him to some water now I promise majesty I will watch over him."

"Please help him Breanna, keep him safe for me."

"You have my word Martha."

Snapping her fingers Breanna and the Doctor disappear from Martha's chambers and back to his chambers.

"Prince Doctunzel why did you wait so long to return to the water?"

"Because I needed to be with her." His weak voice answers her.

"I'm here Prince Doctunzel I will help you get into the water again. I have the perfect idea I think your going to like this."

Closing her eyes she turns the Doctor's bed into an unusual small elegant pool bed. "Rest in here Doctunzel you are safe here let the waters revive you. The bed still looks like a royal bed with the deep dark sheets with the soft pillows resting under his head. I have created sort of a bed pool for you if anyone comes to see you there is a place for them to sit beside you."

Leaving him to rest and regain his strength back she whispers as she leaves, "Good night Prince Doctunzel rest well."

"Martha!" The Doctor screams waking up startled as he looks around the room panicked he calls out "Martha where are you?"

"Doctunzel are you alright?" Breanna asks entering his room dressed in a white dress with a soft blue kirtle.

"How much time do I have to save Martha?"

"You have to solve the riddles and discover their meaning only then will you know how much time you have to save her and to prepare the antidote to save her."

"I need to get out of the water I have to go to the library I need to research this I…"

"Do you always talk this much?" Breanna says with a light chuckle. "Doctunzel you need to wait your not strong enough yet and I can bring you the books for your research and a quill and parchment so you can write things down to figure out the riddles."

"Thank you Breanna."

"Here is some parchment Prince Doctunzel and some books for you to look in." Breanna says as books appear on the bed with a small lap table for him to write on along with the parchment and books beside him.

"I'll leave you to work Prince Doctunzel before I go is there anything you need?"

"I am fine for now thank you Later you will help me back to Martha's chambers I need to be with her again."

"I know and I will help you back to her she will like having you by her side again for now rest in the water and try to figure out the riddles if you can." Breanna says teasing.

Searching through some of the books he sees a small piece of parchment with the riddles he was given written on it. "Thank you Breanna." He says smiling.

"The first riddle from the elfin guard what was it they said?" Looking at the paper he says, "There it is don't let the moon come between the earth and the sun what on earth does that mean? Oh these earth phrases I've picked up over the years." The Doctor says with a soft laugh.

"What could this riddle possibly mean?" He says as he ponders the phrase.

"You will figure it out Prince Doctunzel. I know you can I brought you a lunch tray as you have been working for so long."

"What time is it Breanna?"

"It's late afternoon Doctunzel after 2pm."

"I have been here that long? I think I need a brake from working on this my mind needs rest. Please I need to see Martha is she alright?"

"Martha is fine she is still resting in her chambers she will be happy to see you but not yet Doctunzel she is still asleep."

"This riddle I don't understand its meaning its unusual it was don't let the moon come between the earth and sun."

"I can't help you with this Prince Doctunzel this is something you need to figure out on your own. The only thing I can say is that the meaning goes beyond the literal meaning but a metaphor. Sorry this is all I can say Prince Doctunzel."

"I understand Breanna it's alright this is a puzzle only I can figure out on my own."

"I'll leave you to work call if you need anything." Breanna says leaving. "And I promise you will see Martha today."

"Blimey me did you read my mind Breanna?"

"No but I knew what you were thinking."

"I think you have gotten to know me a bit too well Breanna."

"Maybe Prince Doctunzel."

Leaving him to work Breanna goes to check on Martha entering her chambers she hears Martha call to her, "Breanna is that you?"

"Yes Majesty it's me how are you today?"

"Feeling cooped up please help me out of this room I need some air."

"I think I can help you outside to the gardens if you wish to be outside. Since you can't walk very well lean on my shoulder and I'll help you over to one of the benches near one of the fountains in the garden."

"I might be able to walk I don't know I think my left leg up to my knee is stone but I'll give it a try maybe I can drag my other foot."

"Just take it easy Martha I'll help guide you to the bench."

"How is Doctunzel is he alright?"

"Yes he is resting fine in his chambers and working at solving the riddles that he had been given which he has to solve to save you."

"That should keep him occupied giving him something to do otherwise he wouldn't know what to do."

Hobbling next to Breanna Martha tires to walk along the stony path coming to one of the benches near a fountain they sit and talk for a while.

"Are you alright you seamed a bit stronger than before."

"I am better Breanna just tired but being outside away from the castle is making me feel better. Every so often I need out of this castle sometimes it gets very stuffy at times."

"Indeed it does at times Martha. Can I ask you something Martha?"

"Yes you can ask me anything Breanna you need never fear anything from me."

"Why did you step in front of Prince Doctunzel taking the magic upon yourself? I know why you did it obviously but is there a deeper reason why you did what you did?"

"Yes thought I don't think he will ever see it or would ever want to see it. I'm not making much sense am I?" Martha says with a laugh.

"On the contrary Martha you make a great deal of sense you really do more than care for him don't you? You may think it's hidden from him but not from me I can see it its written all over your heart. It echoes to me I can hear it's so obvious you truly care for him very deeply."

"It will be something that he will never see it no mater how much I hope one day that he will finally open his eyes and see it."

"Martha don't give up on him on day he will see it. I've seen the way you look at him so much echoes in your yes when you look at him. Deep, deep down he does feel something to just give him more time."

"I don't want to be without him he is so much a part of my life the two of us traveling together. Seeing new places and the wonders we have seen together it's all so wonderful and exciting I couldn't have a life without him."

"You will have him Martha I promise you will never be without him."

"Thank you Breanna…Ahhh!" Martha screams as her left leg painfully turns to stone crying out as her leg turns gray her cry echoing throughout the gardens.

Alone in his chambers he pauses in his research, "What was that?"

"Martha?" He says closing his eyes he sees her crumbling to the ground in pain as her leg turns to stone. "Martha!" The Doctor screams as a bright light blinds him his vision clearing, "What, what how did I get here?" He says as he sees he is in the gardens. "Martha!" He shouts as he tires to move closer to her watching helplessly as her leg turns to stone.
