After the hunt, Anilec and I went into the forest. When we were out of sight of the clearing, I called a small pigeon. Anilec tied a small note to her leg and I described the way to Ophelia's room in the castle. Soon, the little pigeon came back with an answer from Ophelia on her leg. She had agreed to meet us in the castle garden. As fast as we could, we went up to the castle. While Anilec was looking for the small hole in the wall to get into the castle garden, I flew over the whole area and looked for Ophelia. In the middle of the garden, with a bed with red, white and blue flowers, I discovered a butterfly that shimmered in all the colors of the rainbow. I landed on the bench in front of the bed and croaked a friendly greeting. The butterfly began to shimmer and glow, so I could no longer look. When the glow was gone, a girl with chocolate brown hair stood in front of me. Their eyes were the same color as the wings of the butterfly before.
She smiled and said, "Hello Jael! It's nice to see you again. You don't seem to have changed much. A little bigger, perhaps?" Now Anilec also joined us and told Ophelia about her dream. After she had finished telling, Ophelia thought for a moment.
That doesn't sound good. I think Araña just went for a walk with one of his friends at the edge of the forest...
Oh oh!
You can say that out loud Jael! I've also heard that the two of them are concocting a plan to catch you! I know how Araña feels about cambiaformas, shapeshifters and other magical creatures...
Ophelia, can you let us know if you find Arika with him???
Of course! What does it look like again, dijiste?
Red
Red!
Esta bien. When I see them, I will let you know. I hope to see you again soon mis amigos!
With these last words, she turned into a butterfly again and flew back to her room so that no one would notice that she had been gone. We went back to the forest. When we were back at the clearing, I noticed that Arika was nowhere. We looked for them everywhere. When the sun went down, we hadn't found it yet. We now searched the edge of the forest and hoped that it was not too late. Suddenly, we heard four horses approaching in front of us. We hid in the forest. I let my feathers turn black and Anilec's fur also turned black. The horses trotted past us in the form of a diamond. The foremost and the rearmost rider were guards from the castle. The riders in the middle were slightly smaller and wrapped in black coats, so we couldn't recognize them. The rearmost rider had something on his back. It looked like a sack with something small in it. The sack kept hitting the rider's back, but despite all the noise, I could make out the weak heartbeat of a cat. I looked at Anilec with big eyes and knew that we were both thinking of the same thing: ARIKA!
Three girls with very special gifts find out they are actually adopted and discover their first adoptive families. Curious Arika is soon captured by the jealous Prince Araña, and Anilec and Jael must find a way to free Arika from his supernatural zoo.
This is the first story I've ever written (in German) I hope you like it and that I've translated everything well :)
