       The queen sang softly as her 3 young daughters slowly drifted into sleep, in their rocking cribs. When they had finally all fell asleep she looked at their peace full faces and sighed. Though the triplets weren't even quite one yet they have grown so much. Alex the eldest, has learned how to sit up and is attempting to crawl around. Rosellina and Miranda the two younger ones have also learned to sit up but have not made it to crawling yet. Rosellina the second eldest holds her bottle properly  and sits near the queen at all times. Miranda on the other hand plays with quills and paper scribbling while her father talks of the kingdom and it's situations.

        As she leaves the room she looks back before making her way back to her own room. She walked out onto the balcony using her fingers to comb out her hair from the days updo. Her husband Arthur had yet to return from his work so she was alone in her chambers. As she looked out into the distance, there was a small dot coming toward her from the forest. As it got closer  she noticed it looked very much like a forest goblin. A gust of wind knocked her down as a goblin landed in front of her. "Goodevening queen elenor". The goblin said with a bow. She tries for the doors leading to the hall but they lock with a gust of wind as well as the balcony ones. "What do you want with me?" She says in dissgust. "If you do or try to do anything to me then I will scream and guards will come within seconds." I laughed at her remark and she stared at me on shock. "You can call but they can't get in" I remark slyly. "What I want has to do with what you did to my faamily!" She seemed confused "what did I do to your family?". Her forgetfulness mad me outraged." Your family sent your guards out and killed all of my family wile I was away! Do you know how hard it is to come back to a dead family! Do You!" Elenor stood back at my shouting certainly concerned that if I get to Mad I would blast her to dust.

        "What I want is a simple trade" I remarked " what kind of trade?"" One you wont be able to ignore." She seemed scared and outraged by my request ," since you took my family I will take yours."   She didn't take a second to respond to me" no you can't have m-"" shut up woman I don't all your family, if you let me finish. I will take your daughters and let you live" I paused for breath and she was going Pale and didn't say anything." Or of course I could take you and let the girls live and let you die." I smiled for I liked toying with the Queens mind. " I will give ypu some thime to think about it till their firtst birthday but for now I think I will vist the little angles myself now." With that she threw a candle holder and I disappeared and unlocked the doors " noo!" She screamed as a dissapeared. I was in the nursery as they calmly slept. I heard Elenor running down the hall yelling for the guards. Then the door exploded open and the queen was at the front. The girls awoke and screamed at the noise. I cackled loudly as the mother tried to calm, protect her girls while watching me float away. "Till Friday my queen"" get her!" She screamed with that I dissapeared in a cloud of green smoke making the babies fall asleep.

          Ellen couldn't sleep,eat, or do any thing without her daughters in sight. Deterimined that the witch would come back and take her girls. if she wasn't watching them at all times. finally they got her to agree to have the girl under complete survallanice at all times. So their queen could rest at ease. She was trying to rack heer brain to find a way to prevent this. she didnt want them to live without their mother, but she didnt want to live without them either. She wanted an altenitive path to take, a third choice to take. She wanted to live in peace with her children, Elenor justs didnt know how to presuade the witch to take off the trade that she didn want to. but elenor was smart and thought that it wouldnt work.   She needed something to be able to save her and her daughters. She needed something powerful, something unusual. Elenor neede the power of magic.
