To Mister Luum's pleasure, he found the winter fairies slinking together once more. He assumed the two were discussing how they would run away together and build a delightful home in Yenworth. There they would start their family with over a dozen children flying about, throwing snowballs at one another, and making splendid [I]snow fairy[/I] imprints in the freshly fallen snow.

And on the porch watching their children play would be the couple that now whispered and schemed in front of Mister Luum. They'd smile warmly despite their affinity to the cold hand-in-hand as they sat on a rocking bench meant for two. Starfire gliding across the sky would bark fervently as she now found herself free but amongst so many that loved and cared for her. But deep within the home, past the light blue accented living room, through the tidy kitchen, and down the descending staircase was a sight that no one but Mister Luum could imagine.

Bardulf holding a mop with a bucket of gray dirt-filled water sobbed as he heard the delight of his masters. As loud and cheerful as they were, his shackles jangled over their cheers to remind him of what he had become. He can't remember a day he didn't sob or collapse as his body had been reduced to the epitome of malnourishment. The mop seemed to help him stand but the splinters from the poorly built cleaning tool had scarred his palms. He could barely remember what he was mopping on these floorboards since no one ever came but to feed or humiliate him. Perhaps it was to pass the time or maybe the movement just kept him warm since he had been subjected to torn ragged clothing. Hope was beyond him, a dim white light miles away. Barely there, but he was unsure if it would fade away as it escaped his grasp with each passing moment. 

After so many hard years, he wished to let go but he knew he had to hang on. For one day, Mister Luum would come to save him.

[Color=F6DC88][I]The perfect escape plan.[/I][/color] Mister Luum thought just before Bardulf approached him about being recognized. 

[Color=F6DC88]“Really? You? No one even knows what you look like, my friend. In fact, most don't even know what [I]your type[/I] looks like.”[/color] Mister Luum took a brief pause to look at his surroundings for any watchful eyes before continuing. [Color=F6DC88]“You don't need a disguise just yet. There's no sense in it. Why burn a bridge the enemy doesn't know of? Just keep using it until they catch on. Then blow the thing sky high, I say. Then they have to find a new one, right? Yes.”[/color] He answered for Bardulf before pointing at him and pointing at Zeva who had just discovered a place for the group to fill their bellies. 

[Color=F6DC88]“Before dashing for food, I pick these two. Sorry, Brigitte.”[/color] Mister Luum didn't catch the girl's frown but probably wouldn't have changed his mind either way. [Color=F6DC88]“So that leaves the lovebirds, the pegasus, and Brigitte. Perfect, let's fill the bellies shall we.”[/color]
