Back in Goblins Hollow

      Magellan and Salem kept checking the castle grounds. Ludwig talked to Sage, who's nerves had become a shattered mess. The gargoyle felt a twinge of guilt for putting Warlock whiskey in the hob-goblin's pixie brew.

   He had to do it. Sage looked as though he was going to give himself a heart attack. Forty minutes later the hob goblin fell asleep in the chair.

  "Ahh. That's better." The gargoyle said.

  Both Amberosia and Pandora began to giggle.
"If you require a servant I'll get it."

   "We can get it ourselves. You just sit here with us." Pandora said.

  "I have missed both of you coming to visit." Ludwig said.

  " Other than the empress who else do you miss being here?" Amberosia asked.

The gargoyle stared at her for a moment then said a single name.

"Soranto."
