"Your majesty!" I heard Dove's voice call out.

"I know! Just let me get on Belegerea first."

I mounted onto the bare back of the unicorn. As I did he made an 'umph' sound.

"Alright . . . now show me the way."

"Yes sire."

Dove kept a few yards ahead of me, just where I could see her. The disturbing clothes I had on were very uncomfortable, but what was worst was the fact that I had to wake up Susan and Lucy to tell them my plan, and then ask them for a "makeover" as they called it, to disguise my face. They had lots of fun, but I did not. How do girls wear makeup? It's so itchy and it's all over your face! I never knew girls wore so much of it! Of course, the reason why I had to wear so much is to make me look grotesque, like a goblin, and hopefully most girls that put on makeup don't want to achieve that. Dove was showing me the way to Seifer's lair. I was going to see if Seifer has heard the news that Peter and his oldest siblings were coming to challenge him tomorrow around 1:00. At least, that's what my plan is.

"Your Highness, may I suggest that you get off Belegerea? If Seifer sees you on him, I'm sure he's going to realize it's you . . ."

"Oh . . . how close are we?"

"Very close . . . in fact it's just around this batch of bushes."

I quickly climbed off of Belegerea.

"Will you stay here?" I asked.

"Of course, your Majesty . . . should I be expecting another rider?" Belegerea asked.

"I'm not sure . . . if there is an opportunity for me to get Rachel out I will take it."

Dove flew up into a tree.

"Once you see the entrance to the cave you'll be fine." And then she flew off.

I took in a deep nervous sigh; made sure my costume was correctly aligned, and then stepped out from behind the bushes.
