Sieg told Zalem exactly what happened, repeating quite a few times because she couldn't understand. After he was done, she nodded wisely & blinked a few times.
"Ees anee of oo havin ze tea-hor-ee how oo ees comin here?" she asked.
"Is it possible that someone transported us here using magic?" questioned Lucia.
There was a long pause.
"Nada. Zee spell-castah must bee weet oo too breeng oo here. Eizah zat or zee spell-castah harness each of oo powah too zee core & oosin eet too breeng oo here. Both arr kuait eempossible beecos zee spell-castah has too bee varee powah-fool."
She waited to hear more theories but none came. She sighed. "O vell, mait as not woree. Eenjoy ooself here. I vill arrange for zee accomodashion. Come back here at zee sevan thartie too-nite." She glared at their watches & the hands turned to the current time. "Oo-antill zhen, oo can doo whateva. Jus don talk too laud cos eet deesturb zee forest."
With that, she drank the last of her drink & began to walk away. "Oh, an zee one more ting, dun fall asleep een zee foraist beecos eef oo dream, eet can come tru vhen oo ees wakin up." She said over her shoulder. She quickened her pace & suddenly disappeared.
None of them had understood what she said except that they had to come back at seven thirty. They were a queer procession, keeping deadly quiet, as they headed to where the log-sitters were.
When they reached the log, they found no-one there, not even the little children. Instead there was a tall, elegant stag-like creature standing in front of them. It had wide, unblinking eyes the color of the deepest ocean. It had long, light brown fur that glistened in the sunlight. The sun rays bounced of the long fur playfully, a slight breeze catching in it's fur causing it to wave buoyantly. They longed to touch its silky fur but held back. It had horns 5 feet tall that were black with silver & gold spirals. The animal itself was at least the height of 3 NBA players standing on each other.
It looked down at Elie with its wise eyes. A long, bushy tail came into view. The tail swished around almost hypnotically. Its cloven hooves were the size of dinner plates. One of its legs began to move over the earth. After a few seconds, it moved its foot away showing the numbers 3713. A soft "Beautiful…" could be heard from Iulius.
Suddenly, it began to sing. It sounded like the sweetest songbirds and the most majestic lion roaring & chirping together. Its sound was sad yet uplifting. Elie's eyes began to glaze over. The stag-thing sprung into a canter, running into the woods with Elie following in a trance-like state…
