To the Chamber
"Twilight!" Elna shouted. Soon they were embraced. They got focused on the situation just about as fast.
Hedwig smiled. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you all again."
"We're happy to see you too." Gylfie said.
"Unfortunately, I can't stay long. I have to get back to the tree." Soren said.
"Oh come on Soren, stay for a while." Twilight urged.
"Yeah, you can't leave after we almost got killed by giant spiders." Elna joked.
Twilight asked "You almost got killed by giant spider?"
At the same time Hedwig asked "You saw the giant spiders?"
Soren shook his head at the question. He turned to Twilight. "Yeah, we got attacked by spiders. Elna saved us really. By signing."
"Nice." Twilight commented, looking straight at Elna.
"Hey, I did it with the troll." She reminded him.
Before they could launch into the troll story, which they did far too often. Soren turned and addressed Hedwig. "You know about the giant spiders?"
Hedwig nodded. "I got attacked by them while trying to deliver something. Awful creatures they are."
Soren had to agree with that. He also agreed to stay for a while. While they rested, Hedwig took Cron to the hospital wing. The Others would probably wonder how he got there, but they would be able to cure him if he was there.
The next night Soren left. The other owls stayed to visit and wait for the mandrake potion. "So, who's up for seeing if the basilisk's back?" Elna asked out of the blue.
"What?" Everyone asked in shock.
"We can go to his chamber and see if he's back." Elna explained.
"I for one, don't want to go anywhere near that creature ever again." Digger said.
"I second that." Hedwig added.
Elna rolled her eyes. "I'll come with." Twilight offered.
Elna smiled. "Thanks Twilight." They flew over to the door. "Don't worry, we'll be back soon."
"Assuming you don't get petrified." Gylfie muttered.
Elna decided not to comment on that. Instead she waved her wing in fare well and she and Twilight headed for the chamber.
