Miguel asked Margaret and Barbara to join in the first cart and himself drove them. Jason and Miguel tied the deer faerie up the cart roof and moved after them.
Lisa was looking back at them through the small window on the back. She turned her face to Luna who was impatiently waiting for her description.
"Please, tell me! What was on the road?"
She asked them all.
Barbara exchanged a glance with Lisa who looked panicked.
"It was a deer, milady! But nothing to worry about."
Margaret announced.
Luna wasn't sure if that was it, she saw the shadow, it was white and the animal had dark shadows like the others; the heavy tension and air around them were speaking something which she disliked. Uncle Miguel was riding the cart, himself, he picked the pistols and weapons that were adjusted in the box so it meant there was a problem.
No word was traded between them until they arrived at the gates of Barson. The guards came toward and waited for the Lord to offer his praises.
"What a pleasure to see you, Lord James!" He directed to his men and they opened the gate.
The cart halted, "Sir. Richmond!"
Miguel's face was stern. Sir. Richmond, the head of guards tapped on his stomach, and his eyes drifted on the badly butchered deer. He instinctively strode to it and the lad beside him followed. Miguel got down the cart and went to them.
"I need you to keep all your men on the gates and watchtowers."
Sir. Richmond was already marveled as he saw the animal. His head shifted on the Lord.
"What happened to the poor animal?"
The chubby man asked, his breath steaming out.
"Not an animal, it is a faerie that we found on the Barson road to Riva. Something killed it and had taken out the heart and sucked the whole blood. Record this, I am taking the body to the city guards and the mayor."
The boy beside the leader of guards coughed. The man smashed his back before he was choked.
"My Lords! How should we explain this to faeries? They might think we did this!"
Sir. Richmond noted.
"The faerie wasn't caught in our land, the creature that killed it dragged and dropped it there, the antlers were broken and were spread around."
The Lord announced and stopped near the cart that Jason was on its seat.
"Master, people are in the streets and I think it is not a good idea to take the deer in the crowd."
Lord James sighed, Jason was right. They could not inject terror into the folklore running in the streets and bring tension.
"Fine, can you keep it here? I will take the ladies to the central gallery and I will come back with the mayor and others."
Jason nodded, he wanted to suggest that but now he wished it himself.
"I am at your disposal."
Miguel turned to Sir. Richmond.
"Bring me a Dove! I must send them a letter." The man nodded, it seemed he knew what the Lord wanted to do.
The boy beside him bowed and quickly left, there were still shakes in his exhales. He couldn't believe his eyes, being a guard was too much, over what he assumed before.
"Are the knights still in the city?" The Lord asked the chubby man.
"Two of them, they went out at noon and returned in the evening, who are they?"
"One of them is the crown prince."
The guard frowned. The prince of Bolingtone was one of those riders. What did those Nobels want from here?
The kid returned with a cage in his hand. Miguel quickly took it, brought the Dove out. He put out a small satchel from his belt and unzipped it. He took out a black glowing string and tied it to the Dove left leg. He murmured things to the bird and sent it up to the sky.
"I must go, but I will get back to you, as soon as I meet the mayor and the elders. Don't let anyone see it before I come back."
He didn't wait and went to ride the cart.
Inside the cart, Luna grabbed her mouth as she heard the words that fled her uncle's mouth.
"A faerie?"
She murmured and it was killed! With this, her sister was out there while a wild creature was killing people. What could drag a deer faerie to Riva? The distance was farther than usual, not an easy thing to carry on!
"It will be fine." Said Lisa who studied her face.
"I sent my sister to the heart of danger, how can I bear it?"
No, she couldn't convince herself to calm down.
"The faerie was out of magic, that was how it was caught. Maybe that was a tiger."
Barbara babbled, she did try to help Luna drive out of anxiety but Luna shook her head, instead.
"No tiger drinks blood and takes the heart only."
Barbara swallowed, she was right. Her eyes already scanned that body and it couldn't be done by a wilding but a monster from hell that wickedly slaughtered the faerie.
The cart stumbled ahead on the cobbled floor of the street. Crossing the gate, heedfully. The town was crowded and well-designed. Lisa could sense the intense joy.
They passed by the rail, the steam locomotive was there, it had brought many guests from the neighborhood. The circus tent was there, but the clowns and others were entertaining the people through the street. The shops were there, not all of them were people of Greenwood but came from other places to sell their stuff.
Lisa began to describe the city for Luna but she couldn't drive her mind to them.
"That's the ski run, this year people made better ski shoes and skies."
Barbara directed and it could finally catch Luna's attention.
"Elizabeth loved it."
She replied.
"It will be here for the whole season, milady," Margaret noted.
Luna bobbed her head, it wasn't specific to play around tonight, Ryan could bring them later and she might be able to see that time.
The cart stopped in front of the central gallery where people used to gather, celebrate, and have fun. The noises were saying how thick the throng was. Luna didn't know that people were interested in this feast. She heard the laughter, the sounds were familiar! Vanessa and the troop of her friends.. Perhaps, they were gossiping again, mocking people's outfits, comparing them.
