Without a doubt, when the last page of FOX IN THE MIST is turned, one will certainly hate leaving the Realm of the Fey.
Merlin observed Ninaway slip from her tent. He had been watching, waiting, for her to leave the child. So many things had gone awry since he left Arthur, Olyn’s search for him, and now the discovery of another so like Kit.
While he did not intend to break his word, he knew it was his obligation to right the situations. He and he alone on earth, was responsible for the Ordinations of the ancient Druids’ fruition. They must be completed as the Druids decreed. To ignore such a responsibility could very well ruin the entire world. The Druids could set their Ordination on another world. No one, other than they, knew how many worlds there were in existence. Merlin dared not risk wiping out civilization, as he knew it. Olyn had contacted him once, using the ‘Veil of Obscurity’. Perhaps, he could do it again. Could Merlin signal him to the use of the veil or must he wait until the other wizard realized the situation was grave?
Leigh and Kit meet when he discovers a tiny orphaned fox and takes her as his secret companion. In time it is revealed that the young girl Kit, with the brilliant red hair and deep green eyes, and the small fox are one in the same. While trying to save Guinevere, who has been kidnapped by her lover Lancelot, Leigh sees Kit as a woman and is immediately enchanted. Leigh observes Lancelot’s men removing chests of treasure from a tide cave on the Isle of Clare. Leigh is appalled to learn Kit’s a thief and is torn between his duty to turn the treasure over to Arthur and his compelling enchantment with Kit. After they learn each other’s identities, their bond deepens. Just as the proclamation of the Druids nears fulfillment, Kit is kidnapped by her former crew. Leigh and Olyn beg the King and Merlin to help them save the Irish throne, Kit, and the Queen. Guinevere is restored to her place beside her husband and hosts a royal coronation for Leigh and Kit. Leigh is knighted as directed by Merlin; Olyn has the pleasure of uniting his two wards.
We the Druid Priests do ordain, as we have been chosen by a greater power than our own, we will endeavor to protect all nations. Regents chosen by heredity will rule as long as they do so justly.
Should a royal abuse or debase his subjects, he will be removed and replaced with a Druid pair we will select. Our selection will be of a countryman who displays leadership as well as a sense of justice and a courageous woman who will be given the ability to become a fox. This will insure the pair will protect the animals in their care as well as the humans.
Such selection will not be undertaken lightly. Many trials will be placed before the pair to prove their value
She became a swan to avoid marrying the evil Pheland. Rory became a fox to restore her to womanhood. He risked his human existence for all time that Fionna would not have to remain a bird.
