Chapter 4: Hunting for love!

-Good morning your Highness, I will use the invisibility potion and will follow you up close in case Miiah' s mage tries anything funny, said Mean.

- I hope you won’t need to reveal yourself but let' s go and see what happens!

Scar felt his heart jumping out of his chest at the thought of seeing the beautiful lady of the forest again. He put on his best hunting clothes and he took his trusted bow and quiver and was ready to impress Miiah. But how? How to find her? The Enchanted Forest is a large area and she could be anywhere. Maybe Mean could help.

- Psst, Mean, are you here?

- Of course, where else?

- Good, hmm, maybe you should whistle in a low tone so I know where you are because I can' t see you.

- Ok, how about a lullaby?

- Huh? Are you mocking me Mean? Watch your tongue wizard or..- Oh, who’s grumpy now? I was trying to lighten up the mood. You are too tensed.

- Nah, why would I? I will impress her with my charm. Ha-ha…You are right, I am a bit nervous. Do you think she will like me?

- Why not? You are the king. No worries, if she won' t like you, I will put her under a spell and she will adore you!

- Don' t you dare do anything like that Mean. I want her to like me for what I am, not thanks to one of your spells! You hear me?- I knew you wouldn’t want that, you are too honest. No worries my king, if she likes you, it will be her own will, you can rest assured.- Sshh, I hear something!

- Oh, my! You are right! I have never seen such an exquisite beauty! Her hair, her eyes! I am in love myself!

Miiah and Bratty were bathing in the lake unware that they were being watched.

- What? Are you dumb? I am your king, I fell in love first, I shall marry her!- My king, shouldn’t it be wiser for you to marry some rich queen? I mean you are royalty and all…

- So you can have her?!? No, the dark-haired beauty shall be mine! I can’t believe the nerve you’ve got Mean!!

- Huh? Dark- haired? Hahaha! You can have her, excellent choice my king. I was talking about the red- haired one Scar!

- Oh, that is Bratty, Miiah's little mage friend. What kind of a wizard are you? I thought you knew who was who. Anyway let' s go a bit further till they finish bathing and put their clothes back on. I see a hare, let' s go after it.- You wanted me to be invisible, remember? Asked Mean, chuckling and feeling happy and so much alive or rather so much in love…- Yes, you can make yourself useful and help me get that damned hare! I can’t seem to focus my aim!

- Maybe because you are thinking of something else entirely, laughed Mean giving Scar a friendly nudge.
