A group of villagers gathers on the other side of the hill where they fetch water from a fountain. There is a hidden passage. There are secrets. There are whispers.

Some of them are parents whose children sleep in the dungeons with one hundred forty-three prophets. Some of them are parents whose children went missing, and they have no knowledge of where they are. Some of them are no longer parents but old grandparents with white hair and papery skin. Some of them were never parents in the first place.

What they all wish to know is what will be done to save the children. For someone must save the children. Fairendale, after all, is not the same without children. It is not warm. It is not dry. It is not light.

And perhaps it is not so important who they are or to whom they belong. What is important is that they all, on this particular night, when a rapping on the door stirred them from their fitful sleep, have risen from their beds and walked up the hill and slipped through the secret door and now stand in a candlelit room, hugging the shadowy corners, for they do not want to know who is here and who is not. What is more important than even this is that they are thinking, talking, planning how they might yet save the children, before it is too late.
