Chapter 3
When I woke up Daystar was asleep. I when to find Wren.
"Wren!" I called.
"In here Shiara."
I walked into the kitchen. My ankle didn't hurt very much at all.
"Daystar woke up." I said.
"I know. He'll be just fine in a few days."
I smiled. "Do you have a magic mirror?"
"Yes. Here I'll show you to it. You can call almost every where on it."
"Even the Enchanted Forest and the Mountains of Morning?"
"Why do you need to call that far?"
"That far?"
"Of course, it's hundreds of miles away."
I staggered.
"What's wrong?"
"That's where were from."
"Oh."
"Daystar is not going to like this."
"Here it is. Just say 'Magic Mirror on the wall, let me place a call. Then say who you want to call.
"Thanks."
"Just call me if you need help."
"Magic Mirror on the wall, let me place a call. The King of the Enchanted Forest."
"Hello. What do you want?" The gargoyle answered.
"Is Cimorene or Mendanbar there?"
"They can't talk to you, they're looking for their son."
"He's with me. Let me talk to one of them."
"Fine." The mirror's image of the gargoyle faded to an image of Cimorene.
"I don't have time for this!" Cimorene was yelling at the gargoyle. "Oh Shiara! Can this wait?"
"No. Daystar and I got attacked by wizards and we got transported here, where-ever here is and now we have no idea how to get back." I said a little to quickly, but it kept Cimorene on the line.
"Daystar's with you! Can I talk to him?"
"Um… No…" then I explained all about the wizards and Wren. I left out the part about what I said to Daystar because she didn't have to know that and I didn't want her too either.
"Oh dear." Cimorene said when I finished. "Do you have any idea where you are?"
"Hundreds of miles away from the Enchanted Forest with no way to get back, and not very nice looking dragons."
"Why don't you call Kazul. She might know where you are from the description. But have the witch, Wren, with you. She could help."
"Ok I'll call you again soon."
"As soon as he can, would you have Daystar call me?"
"Sure. Bye."
"Good-bye, and be careful."
The image faded. I called Wren and had her come in for the next call.
"Magic Mirror on the wall, let me place a call. King of Dragons."
"You know the King of Dragons?" Wren said.
"I'm sort of her Princess."
"But the he doesn't have a princess."
"Hold the call," I said to the mirror. "What do you mean 'he?'"
"The King of Dragon's is always a male. Didn't you know that?"
"But the King of Dragons can be either one, and knows she's female. She lives in the Mountains of Morning."
"No. He lives in the Towers of Doom."
"Are there more than one King of Dragons?"
"I don't know."
"There has to be, because we a talking about two different dragons."
"Are you sure?"
"I think so. Let's find out. Magic Mirror on the wall, let me place a call. Kazul, King of the dragons."
The mirror showed an image of Kazul, but only her head would fit.
"That is not the King of the Dragons." Wren said.
"Kazul, are there more than one King of the Dragons? One for each area or something like that."
"Yes. Of course. One dragon couldn't rule the all the dragons all around the earth. Why?"
"Who's the ruler in the Towers of Doom?"
"You don't want to know about them. They are the cruelest dragons ever know. They hate most humans and most everything else to. The only reason they keep princesses is to eat them."
"Well… that's sort of where we are."
Kazul looked surprised. And angry. I'm sure that she would have blown a fireball if she didn't have more control.
"How in the world did you get there?"
So I explained about the wizards and Wren and calling Cimorene.
"Wizards? What are wizards doing back in the Mountains of Morning? They know they've been banned. I'd like to eat that other one." Kazul said when I finished.
"But do you have any idea where we are?"
"Of course I do. Wren, do you have problems with wizards there to?"
"Well, yes, we do."
"Fine. I'll call the King of Dragons there and let him know I'm coming."
"Bring Nightwitch." I added hastily.
"Oh sure. And next time you call the castle, tell them I've left for the Towers of Doom. I'll bring Morwen and Cimorene too. They'll be able to help."
"Ok. Be quick."
""Of course."
"Wait!" said a new little voice.
"Nightwitch."
"Where are you?"
"Somewhere near the Towers of Doom."
"I want to come."
"You are, kitten, you're going with Kazul."
"No."
Nightwitch's image faded into a real kitten as she jumped through the mirror. I knew better than to ask how she did it. She would never tell me anyway. I picked her up and started walking back to Daystars room. Wren stopped me.
"If you're a dragon's princess, why do you spend your time with a commoner?"
"Well I'm not exactly a princess and he's definitely not a commoner."
"Well."
I set Nightwitch down and turned around. This was a question that I really didn't want to answer. Then she would turn the original question around and I would have to explain everything that happened before. Well she didn't have to know everything.
"I'm just the commoner and Daystar is Prince of the Enchanted Forest."
She turned the question around on me. I didn't want to tell her any of my past, so I just told her to leave me alone.
I walked into Daystar's room. He was still asleep. I was glad. I needed to think. I didn't know why Daystar still stayed around me.
Was it just because of the spell that was all his fault? Or was it something else? But what?
I sat down on the window seat and thought about it. Did he feel guilty? If he did, did that mean after it was off, he wouldn't want anything to do with me? Why did I care anyway? It was like I knew something before, but then I forgot it and was trying to remember it again, but couldn't. But I never knew it in the first place.
Daystar woke up again when I was still stuck in my thoughts. I was glad for the distraction. He looked at me.
"Hi." I said.
"Hi."
"Your parents are worried about you." I realized that everyone was worried about him being gone and no one had even the slightest care that I was gone too.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Yeah right."
"Daystar, why do you waste you time on me?"
He frowned and tried to sit up. He couldn't do it and sank back down.
"I don't waste my time when I'm with you. You're my friend."
That's not the answer you wanted cried a little voice inside my head. Then what did I want? I had no idea. Why wasn't that good enough for me? I searched his face, but I still couldn't tell what I wanted. I felt like crying again. I must have looked like it too.
"Come here."
I walked over to him and kneeled by the bed and cried. As he held me, I cried myself to sleep again. I seemed to do that a lot now.
