Lúthwen, Aelion, and Fran walked through the thick brush of the forest. They walked silently, not wanting to disturb each other. Lúthwen touched the trees and the leaves whenever she could. Every time she would touch one of them, a small glitter of magic came out of her fingertips and onto the bark or leaf. Fran stopped and pointed to their right and told them, "We go this way now." He walked into the thick trees and they followed after him. The forest got thinner and thinner until they came to the village.

On the far side wall there was a big fireplace with a mirror over it. There was a small fire in it. There were pictures of different people on the walls all around them. They heard someone coming down the stairs and got up quickly. They saw Fran, leading an old lady, come around the corner. The old lady was no taller than Fran's shoulder. She stood up straight and had on an old red and brown ruffled dress. Her face was kind with her soft, deep set eyes, her small thin mouth, and her wrinkles made her look kind and wise.
