We went back to the nest and collected all our stuff. Then we left the Forests of Silence.
"Jarred, Endon, you stay in front of me and your father. Anna, you go in the middle of them." Said Mother.
We did as we were told with Jarred on my left, Endon on my right, and mother and father behind us. The boys and father had the swords out where as me and mother had out daggers.
Although we were all prepared for a fight, there were no threats.
We got out of the Forests of Silence with nothing except and few scratches and bruises from that encounter with the pirates.
We soon arrived back in Del and went straight to the palace to find grandpa and grandma.
"Doom! Mother! We must speak to you urgently" said father.
"Lief what is it? I thought you were not getting back for another 2 weeks"
"Change of plans Doom. The kids were alone and they got attacked by pirates and an ol"
"What? How they escape alive?"
"Believe it or not Anna killed both the pirates and ol"
It's amazing how both grandma and grandpa think I am an innocent little angel.
"But ols have been banished. They cannot enter Deltoras borders"
"That is what we thought. But the kids all saw it"
Grandpa got out a piece of paper and a pencil and quickly sketched something on it which looked kinda like a hand in a circle.
"Is this the mark that was in the centre of the ol?"
"Ummmmm nope. It was more like this"
I took the paper from him and turned it over so I could draw something on the other side. What I drew looked more like a sunflower in a circle.
Mother, father, grandpa and grandma all looked confused.
"Can we look?" whined Jarred and Endon.
Grandpa passed them the paper and the looked carefully.
"Yep. That's exactly what it looked like.
I guess mother thought it was about time she did something because she said. "I'm going to go get Marilen and Ranesh. Maybe they know something about this mark.
