It was quiet on the other side, which hinted that the harpies are now gone. "Well, what are we gonna do now?" Asked Puffin. Amanda turns around and lets out a gasp. "What is it?" Asked Odette. "There's someone else in here." Said Amanda. She and the others approach the person, only to realize it's an unconscious man. "Looking at his outfit, he must be a prince." Said Derek. "He's not moving. Is he... dead?" Asked Paul.
Amanda bends down to the man's level. "No, he's breathing. I'll wake him up with my healing magic, and maybe he can tell us what happened to Silverstone Castle." She said. And that's just what she did. Amanda puts her hand on the man's forehead and works her healing magic, waking him up.
The man opens his eyes and sees the four royals looking down at him, sitting up and stretching afterwards. "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." He said. "Good morning, sir." Derek said. "Are you four King Derek, Queen Odette, King Paul, and Queen Amanda?" Asked the man. "Yes, sir." Odette said. "Pleased to meet you, I'm Prince Andrew. Her Majesty, Mariana, locked me in here and told me to wait for you." The man said as he stood up.
"What happened to Silverstone Castle? And where is Mariana?" Paul asked. "I don't know. Suddenly everything living began to turn to stone. I've been in here for quite a while and my memory is a bit foggy, until you, Queen Amanda, woke me up after I passed out from exhaustion. Thank you." Said Andrew. "You're welcome. Derek was the one who found the key." Amanda said.
Andrew faces Derek. "King Derek, where did you find the key for this place?" He asked. "In the healing forest." Said Derek. "Healing forest?" Andrew asked. "In England, which isn't far from our kingdom, Chamberg." Said Odette. "England? Chamberg? Mariana must've sent it to you somehow." Said Andrew.
"Why weren't you turned to stone just like everybody else?" Puffin asked. "Because Abigor's magic can't reach me from here, thank goodness." Andrew said. "Well, Andrew, the first thing we have to do is to escape from the harpies. They're outside, and said they're gonna throw us into the Desert of Death." Said Amanda. "From now on, I will be your obedient servant." Said Andrew with a salute.
