BACK AT EAS
At the canon meeting
Mildred: Well we have to do something. We have seven kids gone, not to mention the new tale that has started. And Kyle doesn't even know that his tale started.
Ellie: Is it normal for two characters to have the same tale so fast? Miriam just had the tale of the snow queen.
Rapunzel: We already knew Rory's tale would change the order of the way other tales will happen, it is just happening more often now that we are getting close to her fourteenth birthday, when she ends her tale.
Snow white: Do we have anyway to contact them? Lena took her M3, didn't she?
Mildred: *Sighs* We tried that when Rory Chase and Lena snuck off to complete Miriam's tale. But all communication is cut off in the arctic.
Rapunzel: We have the book of tales, we know what they are doing.
Mildred: We can watch them from the book and see their progress. I'm afraid that is all we can do.
Canon meeting closed
Lena's POV
We walked into the tent.
The king looked at us and frowned. I saw Forrel next to him. He had his beard! I felt really happy for him.
"So, the character returns. I didn't think you would have the courage to come back here after causing the death of my daughter." The king didn't look pleased.
"I- I'm sorry about Hadrian, but we need your help right now." I said.
"And why would I help you after you got my daughter killed?"
"Sir," Forrel cut in, "with all due respect, I told you, the characters did not cause Hadrian's death. That was her own choice. And they brought back Ima and Iggy safely, so we owe them."
"Very well," the king sighed, "we will help you just this once."
Chase's POV
"Wait, what? Why?" I asked. I was really confused.
"You landed us next to Arica's house." She replied.
"Arica.. who?"
"You know, the sorcerer who turned me into a bird? Her house is right there. And I have no intention of getting myself turned into a bird right now."
We started in the other direction. "It's getting dark, we should probably shelter somewhere for the night." I said.
"Hey Chase?" Rory asked.
"Yeah?"
"Do you feel cold? We're in the arctic, we shoulda froze by now. Not that I'm complaining, it's just that it's strange."
I realized that I hadn't felt cold since we landed here. I'd actually felt.. warm.
"No," I replied, "I actually feel kind of warm, like, Lena's heating spell warm."
"Well, I guess we shouldn't jinx it, let's just find a place to spend the night."
I heard a noise behind me. I turned around to see Mia, holding a throwing star in each hand, aimed at me and Rory.
"Or," she said, "you can come back with me to her majesty's place."
