Amara stretched out her hand and the peacock pressed its head against it. She called to Jess to do the same. Jess shivered as she touched the bird’s head. It was so beautiful, and the feathers felt soft and smooth. Ben did the same. He couldn’t believe that this was really happening. Then Amara called again and three more birds came forward. They were shyer than the first one, and Amara said that they wouldn’t come close to strangers. Then she walked behind the tree. Ben told Jess that the tree was a rowan tree, like the ones near his house, but this one was much bigger. Amara told them that it was also known as the wizard’s tree.

‘Look,’ the Wise Woman said, ‘this is my home.’ She pointed to a small opening in the side of the mountain. Jess looked at Ben and screwed up her nose, but didn’t say anything. For once, Ben was quiet as well. They followed Amara through the opening and along a corridor in the rock. Ben thought it was strange that it wasn’t dark, like it had been in the tunnel. They walked for a minute or two and then went up some steps. At the top there was door – a real door! Amara pushed it open. ‘Come in,’ she said.

Ben and Jess stood in the doorway with their mouths wide open. Even Scoot looked surprised. Inside the door was a huge room, which looked just like the inside of the castle in Ben’s computer game. There was a big fireplace, a table and chairs, rugs on the floor, and lots and lots of books on shelves. This really was magic!

Ben and Jess went into the room and Amara showed them around the rest of her home. All of it was almost exactly like the computer game, except that there was a modern kitchen and even a bathroom. Jess was trying hard to believe what she was seeing.
