Prologue

The celebration of defeating Tarquan continued and Cammi was knighted for his bravery and courage, saving the whole world from Tarquan enslaving them, again.

The celebrations continued for days after, and that day was marked so that every year they would have a festival and celebrate in remembrance of the deed that Cammi had done.

Everyone in Gummadoon and Gummi Glen knew that if it weren't for Cammi being here, every species would have been wiped out and Tarquan would carry on with his reigning of terror in ruling over the world.

Several books were written of the heroic deed that Cammi had accomplished, and becoming the legendary knight once more, as this information would be passed down from generation to generation.

While Cammi and Lilli's relationship steadily began to progress and blossom, and the friendship between Cammi and Stanney grew stronger, the two becoming fast friends, talking and catching up on each other's history.

Then year's passed by and Cammi finally became sixteen, and left Gummadoon again very unexpected during the night, but a note remained behind telling no one to worry, that he had his reasons and would soon return when he had finished his training.

Despite that Cammi had left and now lived in the forest, he still loved Lilli, and she understood that knowing that he needed to be alone in completing his training and to explore to his full power, but with everyone around he would not be able to accomplish that.

Months flew by and Cammi still hadn't returned home, not that anyone worried except for Sir Plucki.

Everyone understood why Sir Plucki was so worried and concerned for Cammi, he had raised and cared for him since he was three years old, and he thought Cammi as like a son.

The months then turned to years and still no sign of Cammi returning though he did send his family letters, so not to get everyone out of their head with worry.  His family was grateful for the letters that Cammi sent though they could not reply since they did not know of any of his whereabouts except that he was living in the forest. During the years of Cammi's absence, many things had occurred like his mother and foster father had become quite close, having a relationship, then married making Sir Plucki no longer Cammi's foster father but his real father. It had been found out by Meloni that when she had Cammi she was still a virgin, so therefore Cammi had no real father.

Though she had now married, the city reckoned that Cammi would be more that happy to have Sir Plucki as a father since they already acted like father and son.

A few more years passed by and still Cammi had not returned, the letter becoming less frequent and the city began to suspect that something was wrong, but Meloni confirmed everything was alright sensing Cammi's power growing within the forest.  Over the years Meloni had increased her knowledge on the ancient magic and was now able to sense, detect and pinpoint a person with strong power, one was being Cammi. But now she was busy, trying to handle another cub, one of great potential in the magical abilities, Isabelle. She was the youngest cub in Gummadoon and born a couple of years after Cammi's departure and it was often said that she was causing more mayhem around Gummadoon than Cammi did when he was three years old.

Isabella had just turned six years old, and was known for the trouble she caused, most of trouble being the exact same as what Cammi did, or worse.

She had a wild spirit and mind, with no cubs her age she took to tormenting and hanging round Stanney when he was around, and strangely enough residents said that she resembled Stanney in a way except her fur was of a slightly lighter colour so instead of dark brown it was light brown with a golden shine. Bright blue eyes like her mother, and the only difference there was between the two was that she had long blonde hair.

Isabella had heard many stories about Cammi from Lilli and learned that she was related to her and hoped one day she would meet him, and as if someone had heard her say that, her mother and father had received a letter from Cammi that same week announcing that he was coming home.

Finally after eight years Cammi was finally coming home, to be reunited with the family, though they were happy for his return they were not sure how he would take the news of everything that had happened in his absence, but they hoped he would take it well.
