As the friends drew closer to the mountain,
Mirabella could sense Rom's presence somewhere above them. “He is
alive,” she said with great relief.
With great caution, Jollah made his way up
the rest of the mountain. He took the hardest path because it
provided the most cover. They all knew that Nog would be expecting
them.
“When we reach the top we will be out in the
open,” Bean said.
“I know my friend, but we have no other
choice, we must find Rom.”
Moments later, they arrived at the troll's
original cave. “Rom said the most likely caves would be along the
path.”
Jollah started down the path, which slowly
descended. Two caves later, they could see Rom tied up and laying
in front of a large opening in the mountain.
“They are using him as bait,” Raz said.
“It will be easier for us to hide on our
own,” Mirabella said as she flew to the ground. “Jollah, please
return to the brush while we see how close we can get.”
Mirabella told Bean and Raz to hide behind a
boulder. “I’m going to fly to the top of that tree,” she said
pointing. “I’ll have a look around and see what we are up
against.”
With Jollah safely hidden Bean and Raz
watched Mirabella go. She perched high above. Far below her Rom
twisted trying to free himself from the ropes that bound him. She
had to let him know that they were there to help him so she flew
high above and flapped her tiny wings as quickly as she could.
The motion sent fairy dust into the air and
it fell all around him like snow.
As the glittery dust fell onto his face, Rom
looked up and their eyes met. Rom nodded his head toward the cave
opening. Mirabella cautiously lowered herself. As she drew just a
few feet above Rom, she could clearly hear the sound of snoring
from inside the cave. Just a few feet more and she would be close
enough to Rom to use her magic to set him free.
As she drew just inches from his head,
Mirabella waved her tiny wand whispering words that Rom could not
here. A moment later, he was free.
Mirabella landed on his shoulder.
“Are you all right,” she whispered.
Rom nodded. “We need to go quickly and
quietly.”
Before the duo could move more than a few
steps from the cave, a net dropped on top of them knocking them
both to the ground.
“Foolish fairy,” Nog said. “Did you really
think that we would be sleeping knowing you would come for the
trader here? I am disappointed. I thought you would give me more of
a challenge.”
The two other trolls were tightening the net
as Nog gloated.
Rom tried to get free, but the more he
struggled the more entangled he became.
“Capture the fairy before she finds a way to
escape,” Nog ordered. One of the trolls went about straightening
out part of the net and began freeing Mirabella. Soon he held her
tightly in his sweaty hand.
Nog stepped into the cave and returned with a
tiny cage. He opened the door of the cage and the troll stuffed
Mirabella inside. Mirabella pulled on the wooden bars of the cage.
She was just about to use fairy magic to free herself when Nog
threw a white powder all over her. Mirabella collapsed.
Bean rose to his feet. “We have to help
them!”
Raz grabbed his friend’s shoulder and pulled
him back down. “There is nothing we can do. If we show ourselves
they will capture us too.”
The sound of Rom’s voiced stopped their
conversation. “What did you do to her?” he shouted at Nog.
“Just a little sleeping powder, I want the
Fairy Princess well rested for our wedding ceremony.”

As Nog prepared to take a wife, his two
cohorts chased after a rabbit drooling with hunger.
Bean and Raz jumped on the chance to free
Rom. Raz pulled a small flint knife from his pocket. It took
several minutes, but together they were able to cut enough of the
net for Rom to squeeze through. As Rom was finally freed, Nog
stepped from the cave. In his right hand, Mirabella began to
stir.
