"Think, think...", said the princess to herself as she walked towards the other witch. "If she can't get out of there, it's because she has bad intentions. I can't be the one to free her".
The princess walked a long way. Despite not feeling thirsty because of the many lakes and rivers along the way, she began to feel hungry. She also regretted having left the castle so quickly that she didn't eat or bring anything to put the flowers she intended to pick. So she ripped off part of the outfit she was wearing and decided to use it to put the flowers on it.
As he wondered how he would deal with Mirian, she heard a beautiful song of a bird there in the silent forest. This reminded her that she had probably walked for an hour and found no sign of the other witch's wooden house. "I hope I didn't get lost", she thought.
She was tired and decided to stop for a while. She sat down on a log and contemplated the place. The place where she was now was a not very dense forest and there were many birds around. It was then that in the distance she saw a wooden house. The ground around the house was completely black. The princess got up happily and proceeded to that place. As she got closer she saw two birds fighting, one of them hit the air with a thud and fell.
"Another invisible wall? The king didn't mention this one...", she said in amazement.
The young woman went to try to help the little bird, but it was fine and flew away. Then she contemplated the place she was standing. To her surprise the ground around the wooden house was lined with the black flowers.
"So they really do exist... And there are a lot of them! I'm glad I won't have to look far", said the amazed princess, filling her clothes with the flowers.
She didn't spend much time harvesting when she heard a scream:
"Hey you!"
The princess was terrified and dropped some flowers she had picked. "I was careless... Just a few more and it will be enough", she thought as she desperately picked up the flowers. Soon she saw a woman leave the house and come towards her. The princess grabbed as many plants as she could carry and before she could be attacked, she left that environment stumbling along the path.
Already distant, she looked back while still running and heard a faint voice:
"Don't go, wait! Don't give the flowers to Mirian..."
To be continued...
