It had taken her the near the rest of the day, But james had eventually twisted and turned her self passed the guards to the castle walls. Resting under a tree in the garden, hidden by a bush, james took a rest to think of what to do next. She had to find kira, so they could find and help meg, what ever that meant.
Looking up at the castle walls, and small windows she wasn't sure how she would get in. she had been tempted to try and use the front gates but, the angry blond guards didn't look that happy, and she didn't want to disturb them, well at least until she got more then a rusted knife.
"Well at lest the flowers smell nice," she said to the late afternoon air. Yawning deeply, she decide to just rest her eyes for a moment, but after being awakened by a loud discussion, it was early evening.
"-don't care," an angry voice said from the other side of the garden. For a moment James thought she had been seen, but then, after peering through the bush, she saw it was a very preoccupied man talking to a talking to a tall man James had never seen before, but the first man was defiantly Dumbledore.
James was tempted to run out and talk to the man, but her track record with people she thought she knew wasn't that good lately, so she decided to stay were she sat, and listen to their discussion.
"their my children, and I want them awake," Dumbledore's double continued. "I don't like them sleeping all the time. I'm long past 'getting' worried. I'm now full fledged worried."
"yes your highness, I understand, but the Seer said-"
"Yes, yes I know, an evil curse. Quite different story from the first. I can't wait a month for the 'proper instruments' the seer needs to free them.and besides the money that its already costing me to replace their shoes. Each moring new shoues must be bousght to replace their last. They might not move, but their shoes have holes in them!"
"Your highness we are doing every thing we can to take care of them and find out why this is going on. But no matter how many leeches we put on them-"
"I don't care. Just try harder" Dumbledore said walking past James and the bush and out of sight.
"So," James said to her self. "Sleepy princesses. Ok. I can work with that."
"It's not an evil curse." A voice said from behind her and caused her to screech and spin around. Standing some feet above her, a horse stood. "That woman is a drunk and doesn't know what she is talking about." It spoke again.
"This can't just be a horse," James thought, and it was only a horse till James stood and saw its human face and hands. "Firenze!"
"what?" he said.
Faking a cough, James said sorry and asked how he knew this.
"I was the King's seer for many years, and then when the oldest girls turned eighteen and the king forbayed them to leave the castle. That's when the girls all started getting sleepy. The king asked me, his seer to find out why his daughters acted so." Looking upward to the night sky, he went on. "I asked and looked to the stairs, and they told me to keep a close eye on the girls. Things weren't as simple as they seemed." Looking down to James, she noticed that he was holding something in his hands.
"So I watched them, day and night. And as night rolled around, and all were asleep in the castle, I saw them. They were leaving the castle by a secret passage hidden in there room, underneath a bed. All twelve girls dressed in their finest, descended sown the passage and out of sight. With much difficulty I followed them down those stairs, and into a deep forest with leaves of silver. The sky their was dark with no stairs to guide me, but their was a mock moon which gave the sky light.
Being as quite as I could be I followed them through the forest of silver, to a forest of gold and them deep into a forest of diamonds. Then we came to a lake, with 12 little boats with 12 men waiting for them.
I don't like the water, nor did I plan to follow them any further, so I went back to the castle, taking with me a branch from each forest. The trees were silent there, so it didn't hurt them. Silver, gold and diamond," he said the last three words as he pulled from his hands three separate branches, matching their descriptions.
Looking into Firenze's eyes, James asked why he had told her this.
"Looking to the stars, they told me to tell you this. You needed to know."
"Well thanks. What happened when you got back to the castle anyway?"
Giving her a weak smile Firenze went on to finish his tale. "When I got back to the castle, I went and told the king what I had seen. He didn't believe me. He said no daughter of him would sneak out of his house. He asked where they were going when they left? He laughed at me and made me new gardener. I could have lived with that, but then he hired that woman. That dumb, dumb woman. She knows nothing about being a seer. She looks in glasses and cups, to get her answers. She ignores natures. She bastardises the art, the form, the science of it."
"are you crying?" James asked cautiously.
"No!" he said thrusting the branches into her fingers. "If you hurry you'll be able to catch them before they leave. There's an entrance to the castle over there. Now go."
Giving him slight nod and thank you, James quickly rushed over to the wall that Firenze had pointed out. Moving her hands over all the cracks and groves she could find, she found the little stone button to open the door. She stepped out of the cool evening air and into the castles temperate corridor.
Following Firenze's directions—left, left, right—James came to a corridor with a large gilded set of doors, and two sleeping guards in front of them. "Nice work boys," she said as she passed them, and entered the large empty room.
Going over to the middle bed, James pushed down on the left banister and the bed slowly snuck into the floor. And just as Firenze before had followed the girls into their secret world.
