Chapter 2: Royalty in love

- Scar, welcome back! So what did you hunt? Asked Harry, noticing that Mongo was by Scar' s side although he should have kept to the shadows as they had agreed and realizing that something must have gone wrong for Mongo to have revealed himself.

- Oh, nothing, the usual stuff. A deer, a troll...

- Say what? A troll?!?

- Yes, a big ugly troll. And this is not all. That thing is the lady of the forest' s pet, said Mongo a bit upset for having allowed such a vile creature to live.- Wow, you met the lady of the forest? I heard stories about her but I thought it was all a myth. Harry said this and wanted to hear the answer from the king himself.

- Yes Harry and she is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes upon. I want to go hunting tomorrow again. Maybe I get the chance to see her again but she had a mage with her. Bratty I think was her name. She wanted to turn us into frogs, said Scar.

- In this case, if you go hunting tomorrow, said Harry, always protective of the king, then perhaps you should take our mage with you, just to make sure.

- Oh, Mean the Wizard? Asked Scar.

- Who else? Do we have another and I don' t know?- No but he is almost always so grumpy. He is no fun. Said Scar.- Well, he won' t be going to entertain you but to protect you from Bratty.- I think it wouldn't hurt to take him along. He spent too much time among those dusty spell books anyway. He needs some fresh air and he will get some fresh air either he likes it or not.

- Well spoken, my king, both Harry and Mongo said at the same time. In the highest tower of the castle Mean, Donn' s most powerful mage, was brewing an invisibility potion.

- This should do it, I hope. I will try it on this bug. Yes, it works!! I did it, this potion will surely come in handy. Now to write down the formula before I forget it.

- Mean, are you there?

- Scar, is that you? Anything wrong or you need my magic?- Mean…I need you to accompany me tomorrow when I go hunting.- You never asked me to go hunting with you, you have Ulo and Mongo for that. Me and Harry have always stood by your side in battle. Are we fighting tomorrow?

- Not that I know of. No, you can relax. But I hope to meet someone again tomorrow and she has a mage friend who didn’t seem very friendly so I thought if you came along things would be equal.- Well, I just finished this invisibility potion. I will use it om myself tomorrow and protect you without being seen. How does this sound to you, my king?- Even better than I hoped for. Then it is settled. Get some rest and meet me tomorrow morning.

- Good night my king!

Meanwhile in the Enchanted Forest Miiah talks with Bratty.- Bratty, what did you think of that king …Scar …and his companion Mongo?- They were stupid to mess with Snorri but brave. If we hadn’t interfered I am afraid Snorri would have been in trouble. Good thing we stopped them in time and you used your magic to heal him.

- Yes, yes, not what I meant however. I mean did you find Scar handsome?- Well, I am just a bickering witch, not sure what to say. Is the Lady of the Forest in love?

- Have you ever been in love Bratty?

- Me, no.

- I can’t imagine you in love Bratty. You would probably turn him to some hideous creature just for fun.

- Probably! Hahaha!!

- Not sure if it is love but he was so brave to attack a troll. Did you see how he wielded that sword? How it shone in his hands?- If you ask me, I think someone' s in love!

- Sshh, good night Bratty, will see you tomorrow.- Good night my lady, sweet dreams.

They both went to sleep, Miiah thinking of Scar and Bratty thinking of Scar's mage, Mean.
