Jack had no idea how long he was alone. There didn’t seem to be any clocks in Annwn so it was difficult to know what time of day it was. The sun streamed in through the glass walls. He was grateful the curtain had been closed behind the cage. He was dozing when a loud rapping on the golden doors made him jump. Velindur appeared from the small room dressed in a flowing scarlet robe. His trousers looked as if they were made of pure gold. On his feet he wore a pair of heeled shoes, and on his head a jewelled golden crown encrusted with emeralds and rubies. He admired himself in the mirror before collecting a golden staff. He sat on the throne and arranged his robes carefully before calling for whoever had knocked to come in.

Jed and Teg shuffled forward bowing low when they reached the foot of the throne.

‘What news?’

‘None Sire, no one’s seen or heard anything,’

said Teg.

‘The only intruders anyone knows about are the birds,’ added Jed.

‘Keep searching and watch Gwillam. I’m sure he’s hiding something. See where he goes, what he does and who he speaks to. I know there’s something going on, and I’m holding you two responsible for finding out what it is. Understood?’

Jed and Teg nodded.

A guard carried in a small silver tray, upon which lay a large key. Velindur picked it up.

‘The Blessed Council have assembled?’

‘They have Sire. They await you in the Assembly Room.’

Velindur strode past Jed and Teg.

‘Bring the prisoners to the Council Chamber. Both of them,’ he commanded as he left the room.

‘I’ll grab the bird, you get the boy,’ said Jed. ‘Don’t be long, you know His Lordship doesn’t like to be kept waiting.’
