The Separation R L Toalson

A futile journey. A harrowing decision. A desperate plea. The kingdom of Fairendale is in disarray. The prince has been stolen from the castle. The king's army was destroyed by the dragons of Morad. The children remain missing. But a Huntsman shows up at precisely the right time and offers his services to King Willis, turning the king's attention from his missing son back to his overwhelming desire to find the other missing children, though what would be the point of securing a throne without an heir? King Willis is not a man who bothers with important details such as these. When the Huntsman begins his hunt, Maude and the children wonder whether the invisible house set up for them by the mysterious Enchantress is enough to hide them from the eyes of a man trained in finding what he pursues. And now, deep within the bowels of the castle, a prophetess considers the future before her and the decision that every prophet must make on a 143rd birthday: will she die to change the dark future, or will she let it remain as it has been written? The Separation is the sixth and final episode in Season 1 of Fairendale, a magical middle grade series that explores the world of fairy tales, dragons, wizards, and other magical creatures. The world of Fairendale revolves around villains and heroes-all on a quest for what they believe is right. But one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero. Throughout the series, the story of King Willis and his determination to keep the throne is woven into the story of his son, Prince Virgil, heir to the throne and friend to the village children, and the story of fairy tale children fleeing for their lives-children who become what we know as fairy tale villains, for one good reason or another. But, remember, one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero.
