They arrived back at the tree house, Zaza ran down stairs, worry lines all over their face. "Where have you been?!"
Zaza hugged the two, sniffing. "You have been gone for too long, our feast has been cold. I am so worried. It is black as pitch out there!" They sobbed.
"Uhm, its okay..Zaza-" Freddy conforted her.
"We've come with great news! We've found a way to stop the king from taxing the town!" She said, "We'll be taking quests from neighboring countries! Earning enough money to pay off the kings construction bills!" Freddy exclaimed.
Zaza stood up. "..Is not this idea not safe?" Are not you going to need a chaperone?" They asked
They stood at the door, holding all of their supplies and books. "Ready to go?" Sarah asked. "Wait! Wait!" Zaza ra down the stairs, holding a very weird looking mirror. "Take this." They hande dthe mirror to Sarah.
"O-kay. What is it?" She asked. "It is a mirror, if you ever need advice, you can always talk to this mirror." They said. She looked at the mirror, it had a handle and butterfly wings on the side. The scene dissolved into darkness, Sarah was alone.
"Whats happening-?" She asked her self, her voice started to tremble. She looked around, nothing but the mirror in her hand. The scene morphed. Sarah was inside a room, it was covered with drawings. It looked like a childs room.
Two figures appeared in the room, they sat on the bed, one was talking to the other.
"I'm going away." One said. "I dont know when I'll be back, I-I" They sniffed. "I wanted you to have this." The figure handed the other figure something.
