Tiana sat there, alone, for over an hour, flinching at every sound and shadow that came near.

Terrifying thoughts and scenarios played out in her mind as she wondered how life would be if the goblins were able to bring the Lord of Darkness back?

Would they be killed immediately or would he torture them and keep them as slaves?

It was this final thought that made her jump to her feet, ready to defend herself against the advancing footsteps gaining pace ahead as she held a nervous stance.

"It's only us, Tiana" her mother's voice shouted from above.

Her reassuring tone soothed the frightened fairy and she flew towards her hovering mother in relief.

"Where is Oren?" Oona asked, looking around for the forest boy in confusion.

"He went to look for Green Gable but I told him to stay mother" Tiana replied earnestly.

"I told you both not to tell anyone of this" Oona sternly reminded her daughter and landed in the small opening as Tiana followed nervously.

She looked down at Brown Tom, leader of the dwarves, and father to Green Gable, with a look of annoyance.

"He will not say anything of this, Oona. He will just want to help" the brown-bearded dwarf promised as he inspected the space in confusion.

Oona ushered her friends into a circle and raised her wispy arm.

"You said we needed to help you with the princess but where is she, Oona?" Another dwarf questioned, also looking around in bewilderment.

He scratched his white hair under his hat and looked to Brown Tom for answers.

"She is here" Oona coolly replied and waved her hand in the air with purpose.

"Revelare" she whispered and held her hand in place.

The other three parties stepped back in surprise as they gawped at the sight revealing itself slowly in the air.

From her slightly stained white satin shoes, up to her white laced square neckline, the princess's body gradually revealed itself, suspended in mid-air to the astonished crowd.

Oona held her hand in the air, holding Jasmine's floating body with her fairy magic.

She glanced over to the others, not breaking her connection with the princess and quickly ordered,

"Get the vial, Tiana. We need to do an extraction spell to get the poison out of her now".

Tiana quickly did as instructed and cautiously grabbed the small bottle from underneath the hovering princess.

The dwarves looked from one another in panic,

"But Oona that spell hasn't been done in years and if it goes wrong we'll all be infected" Brown Tom stammered.
