MC - Part Seven ⤵⤵⤵
No time to spare for reunion, not for this royal brother and sis
With their colorful heads together, they thought hard and long
Going over everything twice, making sure nothing was amiss
Preparing to right what the puckish raven and shrew put wrong
*
Appropriating the assorted sundried supplies they would require
The sibling duo carefully and quickly crossed items off their list
Each double-checks the Before books for the materials they acquire
Collecting their items, they don fine silk cloaks and go into the mist
*
There was one important thing that the many Before books did agree
The royal twins would have to go forth and find the Swamp Witch
For it was said that only through her could the princess be set free
Carefully, entering the crone’s domain in their clothes of fine stitch
*
The two travelled deep into the rancid swamp, and it was well past noon
Stumbling along in the muck, trying their best not to go under
There were no signs of life anywhere they looked, not even a loon
The prince and princess started to wonder if they had made a blunder
*
Deciding they’re chasing a hoax, turning back the way they’d come
Confused, for the path they’d traveled disappeared before their eyes
Nervously, the princess croaks, thoughts on the safety of the biodome
Suddenly, the piercing quiet all around them, blood-curdling cries

Whimsical and tense ending, to pass off to Kelli! Well done MC!!
Excellent follow up, MC. Well done!
This is great! I have to read all of them.
Well-wrought! It's coming along well!
Let's hope that the princess will really be set free! Great twist on the old fable, ladies.
