Meeting The Seven Enchanters
Prince Sky & the forest animals then got to work cleaning the cottage as the prince sang a saturnalian song as they all cleaned.
A little while later after every nook & cranny of the cottage was cleaned, fabric items & dishes were washed, and the table had been set up with a tablecloth & flowers in a vase, Prince Sky & his animal friends were very tired so they decided to have a look upstairs.
When they got upstairs, again Prince Sky could not believe his eyes.
"What adorable beds, and behold, they have names carved on them, Stella, Musa, Flora, Brandon, what odd names for children," Prince Sky laughed with glee. "and then there is Riven, Tecna, and Timmy... oh my goodness! After working all that time for Yoshinoya then cleaning this cottage, I finally realized that I have not had a good restful sleep in a good long while!"
Prince Sky then lay across three of the beds & fell fast asleep.
A little while later, the owners of the cottage were coming home, Prince Sky was mistaken, the owners of the quaint little house were not children at all, but they were in fact seven enchanters who worked long days in their magic shop.
Just then Stella, the leader of the group made everyone stop suddenly.
"Oh look everyone! The lit's light! I mean the light's lit," Stella shouted. "the door's open, the chimney's smoking! Something's in there!"
Riven true to his name crossed his arms and glared, "Mark my words there's trouble brewing! I felt it coming on all day!" he said.
The seven enchanters all entered the house to find another startling surprise.
"Why... why the whole place is clean!" Stella exclaimed.
All of a sudden, Tecna could hear the sound of creaking coming from upstairs in the bedroom that the seven enchanters shared.
"What would you suppose that could be?" Tecna asked nervously.
"Don't worry Tecna," Timmy yawned sleepily. "whoever is up there... I'll protect you from them!"
The seven enchanters then went up to their bedroom, but as they approached the sleeping prince, he had begun to stir.
"The monster that the Trix have sent forth is waking up," Stella exclaimed. "quickly... we have got to hide!"
Stella dashed behind three of the beds and the other six ran after her.
Prince Sky then opened his blue eyes just as Stella, Musa, Flora, Tecna, Riven, Timmy, and Brandon peeked out from their hiding place.
"Why it's... it's... it's a boy!" Stella exclaimed.
"And a very handsome boy as well." Tecna sighed looking at Prince Sky while blushing and covering her rosy pink cheeks with her hands so that Prince Sky would not see her blushing.
"How do you do?" Prince Sky asked the seven enchanters.
"How do you do what?" was all Riven could ask Prince Sky.
After the guessing game was through with the prince & the enchanters, Stella noticed something wrong.
"You never even told us your name." Stella said to Prince Sky.
"Oh now how foolish have I been for not telling you my name," Prince Sky laughed. "my name is Sky."
"Sky," Stella asked. "as in the kingdom's Prince Sky?"
"That's correct." Prince Sky answered Stella.
"I don't care he is just a rival for me," Riven scoffed. "I say we send him away!"
"Oh no! Don't send me away," Prince Sky said feeling tremendously frightened. "if you do that, then my step-father, King Yoshinoya will surely kill me!"
"King Yoshinoiya uses dark magic," Riven said to Prince Sky. "if he finds you here, then he will swoop down and wreak his vengance on all of us!"
"And if all of you let me stay I shall keep house for you," Prince Sky suggested. "I will wash and sew and sweep and cook."
"Cook?" Stella asked interestedly.
Stella & the other six enchanters rubbed their stomachs hopefully.
"Hurray," Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, Timmy, and Riven shouted, "he stays!"
