Wednesday and a few others are mine]
Prologue:
Wednesday had been one of magic in the Second Realms, and she was to be the
third eldest. She lived deep in the Oceans of Earth from an accident
centuries ago. She has lived there for the past 500 Earth years. She lives
in the sunken boat, controlled by her power of the 3rd key.
"Send in the scouts!" Said Wednesday. "Yes madam!", Said her loyal servant, Sneval. Sneval was about 400 years old, but had been kept about 20 years old by the power of the third key. "What are your findings on the boy?" "Aye yes Captain Wednesday, the boy is weak as a rotting piece of board" Said one of the Pirate Scouts. "When we went near, we could alls feels the key power from both keys miles aways, sees and we'd said to each odder we should sees you straights aways!" Said Yuto who was a piece of Nothing that could be moulded into anything she pleased. "So Saturday was right after all..." She murmured. "Yes, yes but he is weaks as he is now just a child and he no has keys nows your highness!" Said Yuto. "Send him a letter for a formal luncheon in the Second Realms, in 30 hours House time", Said Wednesday. The place went quite as a mouse as Wednesday had not been out of the sea for about 500 Earth years, so this counted at Millenniums in House time. "As yousa says your Lady" Said Yuto, who as being moulded often he lost his memory.
Arthur woke up with the familiar rush of the Hospital.
Arthur Penhaligon was a young boy, and he had been through things that most people would never dream of. He had been to places which were full of strange and enchanted. Some where great, others were terrible.
He had found the Invitation left by Yuto.
