Phoenix Maplewood finders, keepers

She had dreamed of them, the night before. Twin shadows, eyes burning like blue fire through the dark of the night. There'd been an empty space beside them where she belonged, but no matter how she'd struggled, she could not make her legs carry her to them. But it had ended on a happy note - the pair had reached her in the end, and all her pains and worries had been soothed away.

So the howl was almost expected, and most certainly welcome. As soon as it reached her ears, a wide grin spread across the lost princess's face. She turned at once and limped as quickly as she could toward her rescuers, but was still the third to reach them at the border. 

"Hydra! Ly ly," she shouted, breaking through the trees and throwing herself against them. "I've missed you so much!" She was wiggling in delight, too happy to care about their audience.
