Part 2: Chapter 3
Marian sat by her tower window looking out at the kingdom. She suddenly heard the door open behind her, but kept looking out the window.
"Marian," a familiar voice said.
Marian turned around to see her mother.
"Mom?" Marian asked. "I thought you were locked in the dungeon."
"No," her mother replied. "The prince made me one of his servants."
Marian and her mother shared a hug.
"Listen," Marian's mother said. "We don't have much time. We have to switch out our clothes so you can escape."
"We can't," Marian said. "When the prince discovers what we've done, he'll kill you."
"That's a risk I'm willing to take," her mother said.
After switching clothes, Marian walked out of the tower. She then quickly made her escape from the castle.
"Don't worry, Mom," Marian said as she looked back at the castle. "I'll come back for you."
Meanwhile, Robin, Emerson, and Justin continued walking toward the castle.
"We're almost there," Robin said.
Marian came running over to them.
"Robin!" Marian cheered.
"Marian?" Robin asked. "Why are you dressed like a maid?"
"I switched clothing with Mom," Marian replied.
"Mom's alive?" Robin asked.
"Not for long," Marian replied. "The wedding is supposed to start soon. When Prince John realizes it's Mom in the tower and not me, he'll kill her."
"We have to save her," Robin said.
"I have a plan," Emerson said.
Marian looked at Emerson and Justin.
"Who are they?" Marian asked.
"Oh," Robin said. "Meet Emerson and Justin. Emerson's a sorcerer and Justin's an artist."
"I'm not an artist," Justin said. "Never mind."
Emerson magically changed Robin into a maid's outfit while changing himself and Justin into knights in shining armor.
"My best friend is literally the best!" Justin cheered.
"He's from the Land Without Magic," Emerson explained.
"I can tell," Marian said.
