Queen Savannah Lizard stood outside, her golden dress billowing in the wind. Her piercing green eyes bore into those of the Sergeant Major.
"This is the bargain; we need Prince Sparcticus. In return, Prince Eddie will take his place for one moon. We offer no less," Savannah said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. We arrive with your son in two nights," said Sergeant Major, bowing, "I m only taking my fastest men."
Meanwhile, Eddie was awkwardly trying to fit into a desert garb that was a few sizes to big.
"I don't want to go to the Snow Kingdom. Sahari says it's cold," he grumbled, "This is dumb. I'm being traded around like a piece of gold."
William Twitch stood up on his toes and helped rearrange his travelling outfit, "I'll protect you; don't worry. And we're only staying for one moon."
"I'm sure I could find Sahari. We don't need some Sparcticus person to trek all the way here and find her. He doesn't seem all that great," Eddie said, mounting his Camello.
"Whatever you think of him, he's your brother," William said, mounting his Camello as well.
"_I've never even met him_," Eddie retorted.
"At least you got to bring Gerald," William responded meekly, urging his Camello forward.
"Let's go, men," said Sergeant Major, "We will try to make it to the Snow Kingdom in a day's journey."
Savannah waved in farewall, watching as the five figures on Camellos disappear with the rising sun on their backs. She slipped back into the carriage and pulled down the veil as the people reached to touch their queen. The carriage lurched forward and began bouncing uncomfortably back to the palace.
"Next investment, get better roads," she muttered to herself.
~.^.~Fralan looked around soon seeing Ramon enjoying some Holly Berries.
"Hi guys!" said Maple. "Might I join you? There's gonna be a little blizzard... and my house is kind of under repair." Fralan agreed, and, soon, the other Moojoos and Flapyaks were busy grazing on the sparse grass while the Robeans were busy gathering holly berries.
"Okay, so maybe little was a bad choice of words," said Maple as the wind began to pick up and the thickening snow turned the sky ashen. "We'd better get inside." Ramon flapped up to perch upon Maple's antler and said, "This Robean seconds the motion."
Fralan said, "No worries guys. I got a place uphill." Ramon said "Good idea mon ami." So, Fralan started leading the Moojoo and Robean to his place uphill.
"Tu parle français?" Maple asked Ramon in surprise as she squeezed into the frozen submarine that was Fralan's house. Ramon winked in reply.
Ramon was nervous and tried to help Maple, with Fralan's help, into the submarine until they got her in... but one of Maple's prongs lay on the ground? Ramon said curiously, "Well, it seems Maple lost her 44th prong."
"Good lard. Not another," Maple said with annoyance. "Well, I'm going to sleep. Bye." She curled up in a corner.
Ramon needed a plan. and he soon discussed a plan with Fralan and come morning......the snowdrops started growing!OWNERJun 15, 2015+1
