AVALON
There was the gentle tinkling of bells, and Titania sighed. She'd had to enchant her mirrors to give off the sound, similar to the tones of a telephone, so that she had a kind of warning before someone could just appear in her mirrors.
She walked to the ancient full length mirror in the corner of her private rooms. With a wave of her hand, the surface gave a small ripple, and she was looking into the face of her eldest grandson and Puck.
"My little prince," she crooned. "What have you…"
"My queen," Puck interrupted, head bowed.
Titania gave pause. She was irritated at being interrupted, however Puck was never this differential. Never. Something had to have happened.
"What has happened?" Titania asked quickly. "Is it Fox? Christopher?"
"No, grandma," Alex said quickly.
"My Queen," Puck said again. "I believe that we are all in great danger." Puck raised his eyes, and Titania felt the first small shivers of fear.
The last time she'd felt this…
"King Oberon's mother hasd been released," Puck finished.
Oh. That's right. That was the last time she had felt this…
"I will get my husband," Titania said, already turning to hurry away. She waved a hand, and the mirror followed behind her, bringing Puck and Alex's images with her.
