Astra recognized the private gardens of Hammish, the loyal family butler
and foster pet care specialist.
The kittens mewed and milled around Astra. They nipped her, then most
headed for a small, shadowed corner of the grounds. There, was kitten food
locked up tight.
Where -was- Hammish?
A note was pinned to one of the feed boxes. It was written in Hammish's
spidery, typo-laden script and indicated that...
-
magic had kidnapped most of the castle's inhabitants. He, Hammish, was fleeing.
-
he himself had been kidnapped by most of the court. Fortunately, a Good Favor Pendant, given to him by a mage whose daughter he had saved from an ox, allowed him to create this note. At the bottom were directions to the prisoner's location.
-
Hammish had descended into insanity.
-
Hammish's mind was being switched with one of the animals.
-
he had accidentally planted an evil rose in one of the other gardens in the castle it had drawn forth evil ghosts.
-
Josh Burbank, the Destroyer, was coming and could whomever find this note, which had been treated with a spell to be drawn towards kind people, take care of the cats.
