4 Anybody Home

CHAPTER 4

Anybody Home? The prince enlisted the crew of the Royal Scepter, one of the ships that took passengers from island to island in Wrenly, to help them on their mission. Neither Lucas nor Clara believed there was any truth to Falsk's story. It sounded very far-fetched that all the fairies in Primlox were gone, but they set forth anyway. Grom, one of the ruling wizards of Hobsgrove, also boarded the ship. "What do you need in Primlox?" asked Clara. Grom patted his leather satchel. "Potion ingredients," he said. "They are waiting for me at Queen Sophie's castle."

Lucas, who had been looking out on the water, became interested. "What kind of potions are you working on?" he asked. Grom stroked his beard thoughtfully. "Let's see," he said. "Potions for bad-dragon-breath and stain removal, cough serums, and tracking spells." "Let me know when you finish the bad-dragon-breath potion," Lucas said, pinching his nose and motioning a thumb at Ruskin.

Ruskin squawked. "And what about you four?" Grom asked. "What brings you to the fairy island?" Lucas and Clara explained what Falsk had told them at the archery range. They also told him about her reputation.

Falsk hung her head. "But this time I'm not lying," she said. Grom wrinkled his forehead. Even he didn't know what to believe. "Hmm. Perhaps, my prince, you would not mind if I joined you on this adventure?" "The more the merrier," answered Lucas as the ship set sail.
