Almost every guest had taken their seats and were waiting for the young couple.

Caipra was walking across the hall carrying Marina in her arms, when they bumped into Sinbad. The little girl was wearing a light blue broad dress and had a thin ribbon with a little knot on her head. The captain could not take his eyes off of his beautifully dressed daughter, When she saw her daddy, she stretched her arms to him to show that she wanted him to take her.

"Aww, Marina! You look so beautiful!"

Delighted, the father took Marina on his arms and kissed his girl's nose.

The old sorceress asked him, "Indeed, she does but Sinbad, shouldn't you already be at the beach?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for my best men. I'm not going anywhere without them. And you two?"

"We are going to check to see if Maeve is ready and then we will join Dim-Dim."

In the same moment, smartly dressed, Doubar and Adien arrived and bowed to Caipra, to welcome her.

Then the adventurer turned at Sinbad and asked, "Ready?"

"Yeah, I think so…"

"So excuse us ladies but we have to take our groom with us. Come on!"

Adien clapped Sinbad's shoulder. The captain kissed his angel once again and gave her back to Caipra. In the same moment the girl started crying. She knew what was going to be next. When her daddy gave her to someone else that meant he was going to leave.

Doubar rolled his eyes seeing that Sinbad was trying get closer to Marina again.

"Here we go again!"

The big man grabbed his brother's arm and made him walk away with him.

"Sinbad, the sooner you get out from her eyes, sooner she will calm down. Come on!"

The three friends walked away but the captain turned his head back to his daughter a few more times before they disappear around the corner.

Caipra was cuddling the girl, trying to calm her down. They stopped next to the door of Maeve's room and knocked.

"Maeve, I just wanted to check if you are ready?"

The voice from behind the door answered, "Yes, I'm ready. Go and take your seat. I will go with best women."

Caipra did not entered the room. The old sorceress found something strange in Maeve's voice but thought it is just stress. She and Marina turned and walked towards the beach for the ceremony.

Rumina was making faces at the mirror – Maeve's outlook, when Bryn arrived. The evil witch said contemptuously as a comment against her/Maeve's body, "How could he touch it?"

"For sure he won't be able to touch it again."

Both sisters smiled evilly at each other.
Maeve was the person whom Rumina hated the most in the world. She had stolen Sinbad's heart, destroyed her house, and given a birth to the child who could be even more powerful than her and her sister.

"I hope her death will be slow and painfull."

"Enough talking Rumina, you need to go. I saw everyone is ready, waiting for the bride"

Rumina took a last look at the mirror when she figured out she had no shoes. The white, elegant sandals were laying next to the chest. The witch took them and put them on her feet.

Then she turned to her sister and pronounced, "We cannot go together. You have to be invisible in the crowd."

"I will try to hide between the guests and when I find good time, I will steal the girl."

Bryn snapped her fingers and vanished. Her sister took a bunch of flowers from the table and while she was leaving the room the strange feeling of someone's presence reached her.

She turned back to look around the place, but she did not see anybody or anything; so she went out and closed the door.

Indeed, there was someone else in the room.

The two hooded characters looked at each other.

The shorter one said with a soft woman's voice, "We have to do something!"

The sea water's level was high enough to hide all of Maeve's legs. She desperately tried to free her hands. Still casting some spells but without any effect. The tears ruined her wedding day make up, the flowers from her wreath were falling down on the water. She started to lose her hope and gave up trying to free her bound hands.

The Celtic sorceress started to think about her love and her daughter. The pictures her mind made up made her want to laugh and cry at the same time. She thought about Sinbad changing Marina's nappy for the first time.

Dermott watched his sister and was afraid the she may be going crazy. The strong independent woman who had never given up was totally hopeless now.

Suddenly the hawk heard someone's steps coming from the inside of the cave, and soon he was able to see a big, hooded male character walking in their direction.

The strange man took of his coat and waded into the water.

Maeve could not see him because the bowels of the cave were behind the rock which she was chained to, but she heard the splashing of his movements.
Her heart was pounding very fast.
Both, she and Dermott didn't know whether their situation just got better or worse.
The handsome, muscular man swam closer to the sorceress so she could finally see him.
He was in his mid thirties and had shoulder - length, brown hair.

He could see the fear in Maeve's face and before she could say anything he said to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

Frightened, the woman did not know what to say, she was very surprised about his arrival. She did not know if she could trust him. Why someone wanted to help her? Someone strange to her.

She asked weakly, "Who are you?"

The man in water smiled at her and answered, "I'm a friend, you can call me Sam. I'm here to help and I better hurry."

When he got close enough to Maeve, he released her hands from the chains in some obscure way but the sorceress wasn't thinking of that.

She quickly opened the cage Dermott was trapped in so the hawk could fly to freedom.

Sam grabbed her hand and asked, "Can you swim?"

Maeve make a helpless face at him, "Yes, but I'm not very good swimmer."

"It's not a problem cause I'm an excellent one."

That man reminded Maeve of face, the way of talking… she was sure she knew it from somewhere but there was no time for wondering.

She followed him, and he slowly helped her to swim out of the cave.
