Marcella had walked down the stone steps of Maleficent's palace and there was water leaking there, and in it she found a soggy R. S. V. P torn in half from Maleficent two days after she left with her servants. She rode into the woods of the Dark Forest and she came upon Larken injured his pony dead, and saddle stripped clean off.

"Easy Moonlight." said Marcella. "I've got this."

She held one of the automatic green torchlights in her hand after she dismounted. She walked up to the red haired boy's body and performed a vague version of CPR. He started breathing.

"Easy, Larken." whispered Marcella.

"My lady, what are you doing? What happened?"

"You were attacked someone killed your horse and made sure you were knocked out for a good day or so."

"Oh no!" He exclaimed his head pounding as he sat up. "Kenneth those men in black with the hoods, I saw them grabbing animal furs he must have paid them to attack me and invaded Maleficent's castle after she left. They took them."

"Took who?"

"Those gypsies," stammered Larken. "He also took my satchel and the invitation inside it. He must have messed with the invitation's R. S. V. P. Leah said she didn't trust him from the moment we left."

"Don't worry, I'll find the Vastoks, and get them free this is not their fault." said Marcella. "I will not let them live a life of torture on your behalf. It's a shame you could not trust your younger brother with his life. Explain things to Maleficent she most likely knows what has occurred."

Marcella cupped her hands over her mouth and howled just like a wolf. "How woo oooo!"

Then an Alpha wolf appeared in front of her blue eyes shining and a timbery coat color howling back the exact same sound. 🎶How woo oooo!"

Wolves are one of the few of Mother's Nature's creatures if you learn to howl with them chances are they are going to answer you back the howls are used for pure communication not for hunts contrary to everybody's belief howls are used to keep the pack from being separated long term for days. A wolf is a silent hunter especially when it comes to hunting deer.

"Thanks, Cresta." Marcella says. "Now, let's go find those intruders as she mounted back onto Moonlight. And prove we're friends to those innocent people who've been stolen." Moonlight took off confidently after the female both could travel at reasonably the same time of pace. The wolf tracking the strange human scent amongst all the other crazy smells of the forest.

Meanwhile present time, at a stable in the Parisian city.

"Phoebus look! That poor horse, it's being constantly whipped for no reason!" exclaimed Esmeralda tapping him on the shoulder.

"Oh, come on, you're not some ninny, you're a young horse." said the stable boy.

"Perhaps you should treat your animals with more respect, Oui?" commented Esmeralda.

"This mare, nah, bought her off some traders, said the rider had a burden of taking care of her.

"Did you see the way her ears perked up at me when I spoke French, Phoebus?" questions Esmeralda whispering in her ears.

"Yes," He coughed. Then he turnt to the mean man and said sternly. "I don't believe you. It's obvious the horse don't understand English and neither did your so acclaimed traders otherwise you wouldn't gotten her so cheap as Captain of the Guard of Paris I cannot allow a horse to be so mistreated in my city. So either you stop whipping her period if you want to keep her or let me pay you double for her. If you chose neither then you'll learn the hard way of having what it means to feel the weight of a true horse's work, Achilles!"

Achilles walked forward perking his head up at the mention of his name from his Master's mouth. That usually meant time to sit on someone being unusually stubborn. And as the man did not reply it came. "Achilles sit!"

The horse did causing the mare to neigh delightfully about the punishment she stuck our her tongue and snorted at the young idiot civilian. Esmeralda chuckling she pulled an apple from her skirt flattening her hand as she outstretched it.

"It's okay, we care about you, no more meanness for you I promise." whispered Esmeralda the mare took up the apple in one chomp and lowered her head into Esmeralda's arms allowing her to hug her horsey head. Phoebus gently touched her neck. "It's okay, sweet patch of Moonlight, you're gonna be fine, I'm not gonna hurt you." He spoke softly patting her neck. He was looking for a brand for whom he really belonged too as thieves commonly stole horses to get rich fast no better at all than poachers themselves. He found it faint markings.

PRN: Property of the Realm of Neapolix. This was a Royal steed that explained her stubbornness to most strangers.

"You're in luck, I may just have the perfect lady to give you to." spoke Phoebus. Esmeralda immediately knew he was thinking of Princess Aurora himself.

"I think her name is Moonlight." Her whiny was so happy when you said it." Esmeralda responded.

"Guards thank you for coming, Achilles get up. Take this man away to a cell for 24 hours only for his lack of respect to helpful animals and conspiring with horse thieves a dirty business indeed."

"Yes, Captain Phoebus, right away sir." They said saluting him and followed through with their orders immediately.
