“Take Leep at once,” Galen told Eric and his friends as they stood outside the tower. “And take this invisible cloak. It may come in handy.”

“And take me!” Max twittered. “I may come in handy, too. Besides, I know the way to Plud.”

Galen smiled. “Good luck, my young friends, and remember what I am about to tell you. Droon is a secret to your world. When you return home, tell no one about us. Also, you must not take anything from Droon with you, nor leave anything from the Upper World behind.”

“Why?” Eric asked.

“For every object left here, a thing from Droon will appear in your world,” the wizard replied.

“And it may not be a good thing!” Max added.

Neal blinked. “You mean like … a Ninn?”

“Or worse,” Galen said. “Now I must go to Jaffa City and you to Plud. Be careful!”

Then, without another word — zamm! — Galen Longbeard, first wizard of Droon, vanished.

And his tower vanished with him.

Hrrr! The shaggy pilka whinnied.

“Well, what are we waiting for?” said Eric.

With the three children on her back and Max sitting on her head, Leep galloped out of the forest. She rode across open meadows while the pink sky darkened into late afternoon. It grew colder as the light faded.

A shape moved across the sky above them.

“Groggles?” said Julie.

Neal looked up. “No,” he said. “A falcon. A white one. I think I saw it before, too. I remember falcons from our zoo trip last year.”

Eric watched the bird soar away. “This one was in the forest when we first saw Sparr.”

Hrrr! Leep whinnied sharply and slowed her gallop.

“Hush now,” Max whispered. “We are close.”

He pulled the reins, and the pilka plodded up a low hill to a jagged ridge.
