Agatha was curled up deep under a magnolia bush, a sweet honey smell breaking through her dull senses, along with the buzz of a crowd and the crisp clanging of metal. She pried apart a bough of flowers and spotted the thin towers of Foxwood's royal castle fanned against the horizon. They'd woken up in Avalon, her, Sophie, Tedros, and Merlin, who'd woken up days before them and was now 14 years old. Turns out the tournament had been made by Arthur because the Lady of the Lake had known Arthur had a child. She'd seen the future, multiple futures, like an eagle from above the sky. That's why she hadn't said no to Japeth, because she knew it must have happened. But she also knew who the true heir was, Arthur's oldest child. Chaddick. After which Tedros had a private conversation with the Lady, he didn't want to say what they talked about but she'd given him an apple. They'd been lucky that Anadil and Hester found them, Dot was taken by her mother to a doctor in Sherwood to de-age her, and they managed to ride Anadil's rats all the way to Foxwood. They had also been the ones to deliver them the fireflies.
In front of the castle was a wall of soldiers, thousands of men deep, dressed in varied armor and shields, gathered under flags of different kingdoms: Kyrgios in pea green, Netherwood in glossy purple, Hamelin in checkered yellow and orange, Akgul in red and black... Then, from behind, Agatha heard voices: three Akgul guards in helmets and armor, hacking through bushes with their swords, coming straight for her.
"Saw him myself. Prince Tedros it was," grunted one. "Ridin' somethin' like a big rat."
"Must be with his witch friends," guessed the second guard.
They slashed through more bushes, getting closer and closer to Agatha. She pulled out of the bush to flee—
—only to be yanked back.
She spun to see Hester and Anadil, fingers to lips. Agatha started to ask something, but Anadil's rats hissed "Shhh!" from her pocket. Hester pointed across, to Tedros and Merlin, camouflaged in a bush, then to Sophie in another. Tedros mouthed to Agatha: "Don't move."
Three guards eviscerated the bushes, only a few feet from Agatha's. With fingers, Tedros counted at Hester and Sophie: 3... 2... 1...
Merlin, Sophie, and Hester sprung, all three shooting a spell at a guard. Hester and Sophie knocked out theirs; Merlin's didn't, instead swelling his guard's helmet ten sizes, so the guard bumbled inside it like a barrel, slashing his sword blindly. The boy wizard shot another spell. This one turned the guard's sword into a ferret. Merlin tried one more, only to vanish the guard's pants.
"For Good's sake, Merlin," Tedros growled.
He punched the guard out.
"It's that age potion. I'm telling you," Merlin complained.
"Don't even start," said Hester, freeing the ferret into the bushes.
"Ugh! I miss Y/n," Sophie complained.
A few minutes later, three soldiers in red-and-black armor crammed into the mob of armies, who were all on the lookout for Tedros of Camelot.
"Snow White's cottage is to the east," Tedros whispered through his helmet.
"It'll be guarded too. The whole kingdom is," Agatha whispered back.
"Then we should just go to Chaddick's house and get this over with," Sophie whispered.
"We don't know where it is! We need Y/n!" Tedros snapped.
"Don't get snippy with me," Sophie huffed.
Tedros' face turned red. "Oh, I'll get as snippy with you as I want, you blubbering—"
Agatha rolled her eyes and filtered their sound out. Through her eyehole, Agatha spotted Merlin, Hester, and Anadil scuttling to the citizens' checkpoint, where guards hunting for Tedros assessed them with Matchers and allowed them to pass (Merlin's name popping up made them give the well-suited teenager a second glance, before they shrugged and let him go.) Tedros knew he, Agatha, and Sophie would never survive the Matchers, that scanned your face and told you their name, which is why he'd suggested sneaking through the armies and meeting the witches and Merlin at Snow White's. But now the plan seemed foolish.
"I can't move," Tedros gritted, stuck between trolls.
"Neither can I," said Agatha, a throng of Rainbow Gale nymphs blocking her.
"I'm completely caged," Sophie said, trying not to puke off the smell of sweat and booze as she was walled by goblins from Netherworld.
"Quit pushin'," a troll snarled at Tedros. "King Rhian's comin'. We'll all get a good look."
Tedros, Agatha, and Sophie all ducked their heads, hoping the troll didn't get a good look.
Drums boomed louder, followed by a flourish of horns.
"That must be Japeth!" Agatha whispered to her friends. "We need to hurry—"
