Suddenly, there was one. We’d been focusing too much
attention on the one and not on the other. It’s awful to lose a child, especially
when you’re put in charge of one for someone else. We had an inkling of where
she was but we just couldn’t be sure. She’d left our sight. It turned out that
she’d wandered a few feet away from the castle to take a breather and check out
the view. But it did make us worried for a while. Anything could have happened
on that hilltop, especially with exits in multiple directions surrounded by
people that she wasn’t familiar with. Someone could have quite easily wandered
off with her regardless or not of whether she was befriended. Or she could have
felt free in the open and had decided to wander off by herself into the fields.
And would anyone have seen anything and would be willing to help? Fortunately,
that didn’t come to pass.
